Wireless communications are not only a fundamental part of modern society, they are key to modern publicsafety and humanitarian missions. Whether it is a video feed monitoring a collapsing infrastructure, a satelliteimage 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 ÉTShave developed, over more than 18 years, a best in class wireless technology enabling the efficient deploymentof a reliable broadband infrastructure. The first worldwide software defined radio as a product, introduced byUltra Electronics in 1999, became the market leader, a leadership maintained by continuous improvements andresearch.Such systems are required in disaster response, which, by nature, involves deployment in unpredictedsituations. Since the ÉTS-Ultra Electronics collaboration's inception, Ultra's wireless systems evolved byhundred-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 forterrestrial, overwater or airborne broadband communications. In the chair program, students are involved in thecreation of leading edge knowledge as a foundation to next generation wireless systems. The research programaddresses 4 strategic objectives: 1) Stability and convergence analysis of heterogeneous networks in mostlyunpredictable situations, 2) Wireless signal analysis for spectrum awareness, 3) Development of performanceimprovement strategies for unconventional scenarios, and 4) Development of security and link availabilityenhancement mechanisms under harsh conditions. This new proposed research program capitalizes on theprevious 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，而且是现代公共安全和人道主义任务的关键。无论是视频供稿监视崩溃基础设施，用于上升的当地天气条件的卫星图还是数千个语音链接以协调干预措施，沟通都可以提高情境意识并允许挽救更多的生命。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Etshave在超过18年的时间内开发了一种最好的类无线技术，实现了可靠的宽带基础设施的有效部署。 Ultra Electronics于1999年推出的第一个全球软件将广播定义为一种产品，成为市场领导者，由持续改进和研究所维持的领导。在灾难响应中，需要采取的系统，从本质上讲，该系统涉及在未预测的情况下部署。由于éts-ultra电子协作的成立，Ultra的无线系统在数据速率和灵活性方面进化了一百倍的因素，但也从功能性方面演变出来。它们具有高度适应性的，认知方案，MIMO，OFDMA，并且在其最新的化身中，能够临时性地延伸，泛滥或空中宽带通信。在主席计划中，学生参与创建领先知识，以此作为下一代无线系统的基础。研究计划对4个战略目标：1）在大多数不可预测情况下的异质网络的稳定性和收敛分析，2）针对频谱意识的无线信号分析，3）制定了针对非常规场景的绩效改善策略的发展，以及4）在危险条件下的安全性和联系可用性增强机制的发展。这项新的提案研究计划利用了先前的主席计划，以最大程度地提高结果的潜力。
