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，也是现代公众的关键 无论是监控倒塌基础设施的视频还是卫星。 即将到来的当地天气状况的图像或数千个语音链接以协调干预措施， 通信可以提高态势感知能力，并可以在许多紧急情况下挽救更多生命。 Ultra Electronics TCS 和 ÉTS 通信基础设施超载或完全失灵。 经过 18 年多的时间，我们开发了一流的无线技术，可实现高效部署 可靠的宽带基础设施的第一个全球软件定义无线电产品，由 Ultra Electronics 于 1999 年成为市场领导者，这一领先地位通过持续改进和 研究。 灾难响应需要此类系统，从本质上讲，灾难响应涉及在不可预测的情况下进行部署 自 ETS-Ultra Electronics 合作开始以来，Ultra 的无线系统不断发展。 它们不仅在数据速率和灵活性方面提高了数百倍，而且在功能方面也具有很强的适应性。 支持认知方案、MIMO、OFDMA，并且在其最新版本中，能够实现 Ad-Hoc HetNets 地面、水上或机载宽带通信 在主持课程中，学生参与。 创建前沿知识作为下一代无线系统的基础。 解决了 4 个战略目标：1）大多数情况下异构网络的稳定性和收敛性分析 不可预测的情况，2) 无线信号分析以实现频谱感知，3) 性能开发 针对非常规场景的改进策略，以及4）安全性和链路可用性的开发 这项新提出的研究计划利用了恶劣条件下的增强机制。 前任主席计划旨在最大限度地发挥成果的潜力。
