Wireless communications are not only a fundamental part of modern society, they are key to modern public safety and humanitarian missions. Whether it is a video feed monitoring a collapsing infrastructure, a satellite image for up-coming local weather conditions or thousands of voice links to coordinate interventions, communications improves situational awareness and permits to save more lives. In many emergency situations, the communication infrastructure is overloaded, or completely out of order. Ultra Electronics TCS and ÉTS have developed, over more than 18 years, a best in class wireless technology enabling the efficient deployment of a reliable broadband infrastructure. The first worldwide software defined radio as a product, introduced by Ultra Electronics in 1999, became the market leader, a leadership maintained by continuous improvements and research. Such systems are required in disaster response, which, by nature, involves deployment in unpredicted situations. Since the ÉTS-Ultra Electronics collaboration's inception, Ultra's wireless systems evolved by hundred-fold factors in data rate and flexibility, but also in terms of functionality. They are highly adaptable, cognitive schemes enabled, MIMO, OFDMA and, in their latest incarnation, capable of Ad-Hoc HetNets for terrestrial, overwater or airborne broadband communications. In the chair program, students are involved in the creation of leading edge knowledge as a foundation to next generation wireless systems. The research program addresses 4 strategic objectives: 1) Stability and convergence analysis of heterogeneous networks in mostly unpredictable situations, 2) Wireless signal analysis for spectrum awareness, 3) Development of performance improvement strategies for unconventional scenarios, and 4) Development of security and link availability enhancement mechanisms under harsh conditions. This new proposed research program capitalizes on the previous Chair program to maximize full reach of the results' potential.

无线通信不仅是现代社会的基本组成部分，而且是现代公众的关键 安全和人道主义任务。是否是监视崩溃基础设施的视频提要，卫星 图像的图像是当地天气条件的图像或数千种语音链接到坐标干预措施， 沟通提高了情境意识，并获得了挽救更多生命的许可。在许多紧急情况下， 通信基础架构被超载或完全失效。 Ultra Electronics TCS和éts 在超过18年的时间里，已经开发了一种最佳的类无线技术，实现了有效的部署 可靠的宽带基础设施。第一个全球软件将广播定义为产品，由 Ultra Electronics于1999年成为市场领导者，这是通过持续改进和 研究。 灾难响应中需要此类系统，从本质上讲，该系统涉及在未预测的 情况。由于éts-ultra电子合作的成立，Ultra的无线系统已进化 数据速率和灵活性的百倍因素，但在功能方面也是如此。他们是高度适应的， 认知方案启用了MIMO，OFDMA，并在其最新的化身中，能够临时Hetnets 陆地，水上或空中宽带通信。在主席计划中，学生参与 创建前沿知识作为下一代无线系统的基础。研究计划 解决4战略目标：1）主要在异质网络中的稳定性和收敛分析 不可预测的情况，2）频谱意识的无线信号分析，3）性能的发展 针对非常规场景的改进策略，以及4）开发安全性和链接可用性 在危险条件下的增强机制。这项新提出的研究计划将 以前的主席计划最大程度地提高了结果的潜力。
