Enabling Sustainable Ultra Reliable Computing and Communications over 5G+ Wireless Technologies

无线5G技术将为加拿大经济的广泛商业和工业部门带来创新、效率和生产力，并为加拿大人提供一套新服务，同时为数百万台设备提供无缝连接。这方面的一个关键挑战是在极高的数据速率（bbb100mb /s）和超低延迟（<1ms）下提供可靠的通信服务。实现这些目标将依赖于集成高效物理层和介质访问技术的先进网络架构和服务开发。爱立信加拿大公司是加拿大最大的5G设备供应商之一，并非常有兴趣与卡尔顿合作，以增强现有的知识体系，以增强新兴5G无线技术在室外和室内环境中的自主性、节能性和安全性。这样的合作将为无线媒体所带来的非常规约束下的网络动态和系统优化提供新的见解。2020年3月，爱立信卡尔顿正式成为合作伙伴（https://hubforgood.carleton.ca/story/ericsson-carleton-partnership-advances-5g-wireless-communications/）。此次合作的一部分是拟议的研究项目，该项目旨在将几位学术研究人员与爱立信的技术人员聚集在一起，研究与波传播和天线（例如毫米波传播研究），5G网络架构的设计和部署（例如敏捷网络切片）以及相关服务（例如5G网络的用户定位和无人机控制）相关的关键挑战。此外，这项合作研究旨在建立一个长期的活动，重点是培养和留住人才，其中一些人将在加拿大高科技（包括爱立信）就业或成为未来的工业界或学术界的领导者。我们坚信，我们提出的研究项目将成为支持和指导爱立信卡尔顿未来合作关系的支柱之一。

Wireless 5G technologies will drive innovation, efficiency and productivity to a wide range of business and industrial sectors of the Canadian economy and offer Canadians with a suite of new services while providing seamless connectivity to millions of devices. A key challenge in this endeavor is the reliable communication services at extremely high data rates (>100Mb/s) with ultra low latency (<1ms). Achieving these goals will rely on advanced network architectures and services development integrating efficient physical layer and medium access techniques. Ericsson Canada is among the biggest 5G equipment provider in Canada and is keenly interested to partner with Carleton, in order to augment the body of knowledge available for enhancing autonomy, energy conservation and safety features of emerging 5G wireless technologies both for the outdoor as well as the indoor environment. Such a collaboration will provide new insights into networking dynamics and system optimization under the unconventional constraints presented by the wireless medium. In March 2020 the Ericsson Carleton partnership became official (https://hubforgood.carleton.ca/story/ericsson-carleton-partnership-advances-5g-wireless-communications/). Part of this collaboration is the proposed research project which aims to bring together several academic researchers with technical personnel form Ericsson and study key challenges related to wave propagation and antennas (e.g millimeter wave propagation studies), design and deployment of 5G network architectures (e.g. agile network slicing) and associated services (e.g. user localization and drone control over 5G networks). Furthermore, this collaborative research aims at establishing a long-term activity focusing on the training and retention of talented personnel, some of which will get employment in the Canadian high-tech (including Ericsson) or become future leaders in industry or academia. We firmly believe that our proposed research project will be one of the pillars supporting and guiding Ericsson Carleton partnership in the future.
