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

无线5G技术将推动加拿大经济的广泛商业和工业部门的创新、效率和生产力，并为加拿大人提供一套新服务，同时提供与数百万设备的无缝连接。这一努力中的一个关键挑战是以极高的数据速率(&gt；100Mb/S)和超低延迟(&lt；1ms)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接入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，并热切希望与Carleton合作，以增强可用于增强室外和室内环境新兴5G无线技术的自主性、节能和安全功能的知识体系。这样的合作将为在无线介质带来的非传统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-卡尔顿合作伙伴关系正式成为(https://hubforgood.carleton.ca/story/ericsson-carleton-partnership-advances-5g-wireless-communications/).这一合作的一部分是拟议的研究项目，旨在将几名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相关的关键挑战(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(例如用户本地化和5G网络上的无人机控制)。此外，这项合作研究旨在建立一个长期的活动，专注于培养和留住人才，其中一些人将在加拿大高科技公司(包括爱立信)就业，或成为未来工业或学术界的领导者。我们坚信，我们提议的研究项目将成为未来支持和指导爱立信-卡尔顿伙伴关系的支柱之一。

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.
