Sequences with certain structural properties lie at the very heart of every communication/radar system design. For example, by sending a good signature sequence which is known to both transmitter and receiver, one is able to estimate the complex wireless channels, measure the surrounding environment, find the starting point of the delayed packets, and recover the data symbols from noise and interference. On the other hand, legacy sequence theory is drastically challenged by the ever-growing requirements of the modern machine-type communication systems. With tens of billions of communication devices, sensors, tablets, vehicles, and robots getting connected wirelessly, it is urgent to develop new sequences and their associated processing algorithms in order to enhance a number of key performance indicators, such as unprecedented system robustness, reduced communication latency, faster data rates, higher energy efficiency, and improved sensing capabilities. The mission of the SORT project is thus for a fundamental rethinking, repurposing, and redesign of sequences to deliver "truly anytime and anywhere" machine-type communication services. Specifically, we target a dedicated sequence framework to enable 1) massive connectivity where every user can transmit immediately after the packet arrival; 2) ultra-reliable & low-latency communication for mission-critical data services and 3) integrated sensing and communication to attain enhanced environmental awareness. With the aid of advanced algebraic and optimization tools, we will design, analyse, and evaluate several new types of sequences whose structural properties are optimized with respect to the aforementioned application scenarios. For practicality-oriented research outcomes, proof-of-concept hardware prototyping will be carried out to examine the effectiveness of our new sequences and the resultant machine-type communication solutions. As an international collaboration project, SORT will work with three world-leading researchers and their groups from Southwest Jiaotong University, Nanyang Technological University, and University of Bergen, as well as Samsung Cambridge in telecommunication. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the project, the complementary skills of the team members, as well as our novel sequence angle, ground-breaking research outcomes of SORT are anticipated. These will in turn influence the evolution of future mobile systems, accelerate the technology commercialization, create more high-salary jobs, and ultimately reinforce the UK's role as a global leader, academically and economically.

具有某些结构特性的序列位于每个通信/雷达系统设计的核心。例如，通过发送发射机和接收器已知的良好签名序列，人们可以估算复杂的无线通道，测量周围环境，找到延迟数据包的起点，并从噪声和干扰中恢复数据符号。另一方面，现代机器型通信系统的不断增长的要求，传统序列理论巨大挑战。凭借数以万计的通信设备，传感器，平板电脑，车辆和机器人无线连接，迫切需要开发新的序列及其相关的处理算法，以增强许多关键的性能指标，例如前所未有的系统鲁棒性，较低的通信延迟，更快的数据速率，更高的能源效率，更高的能源效率，更高的能力效率和提高的感知能力。因此，STOR项目的任务是用于重新思考，重新利用和重新设计序列，以提供“真正的任何时间和任何地方”机器类型的通信服务。具体而言，我们针对一个专用的序列框架来启用1）大规模连接性，每个用户可以在数据包到达后立即发送； 2）关键任务数据服务的超级责任和低延迟沟通以及3）集成感应和沟通以达到增强的环境意识。借助高级代数和优化工具，我们将设计，分析和评估几种相对于上述应用程序方案优化结构属性的新型序列。对于以实用性为导向的研究结果，将进行概念验证硬件原型制作，以检查我们的新序列和由此产生的机器型通信解决方案的有效性。作为一个国际合作项目，Sort将与三名领先的研究人员及其团队合作，来自西南吉旺大学，南南技术大学和卑尔根大学，以及电信的三星剑桥。鉴于该项目的跨学科性质，团队成员的互补技能以及我们的新型序列角度，可以预期进行突破性的研究成果。这些反过来将影响未来的移动系统的发展，加速技术商业化，创造更多的高级工作，并最终在学术和经济上加强英国作为全球领导者的作用。
