Wireless communication networks have traditionally focused on the high-mobility communication paradigm in which the wireless users occasionally travel at relatively high speeds. However, lately, it has been observed that 80% of today's data is consumed indoors, e.g., at home, work or retail and recreational facilities. Other applications of indoor wireless communications may include video conferencing and data sharing among various users. Indoor communications comes with its own host of challenges and promises. These challenges are currently being considered by major players in the wireless arena, including our Ottawa-based industrial partner, Ericsson Canada. Our goal in this proposal is to elaborate on key indoor wireless communication challenges, to contribute towards resolving them and to explore the opportunities that they offer. The emerging fifth generation (5G) New Radio (NR) standard for wireless networks necessitates seamless transition between indoor and outdoor paradigms in spite of the fundamental differences that underlie their operation. The successful completion of the proposed research plan is expected to enhance the capability and coverage of indoor wireless networks to serve more wireless users with high data rate demands. From an academic perspective, the proposed topics will serve to train members of the research team to use analytical and simulation tools to draw insight into signalling and networking mechanisms, and to augment the body of knowledge available for efficient utilization of the frequency spectrum in the presence of the constraints and challenges imposed by the indoor communication environment. The members of the research team will thus acquire in-depth understanding of practical difficulties encountered in the telecommunications industry. From economical and industrial perspectives, the outcome of this plan is expected to empower Ericsson Canada with new methodologies and insights into powerful indoor communication techniques, leading it to make effective contributions to the ongoing activities of standardizing indoor communication for future wireless communication networks.********

传统上，无线通信网络集中在无线用户偶尔以相对较高的速度行驶的高机动性通信范式上。但是，最近已经观察到，当今80％的数据是在室内消费的，例如在家中，工作或零售和娱乐设施。室内无线通信的其他应用可能包括各种用户之间的视频会议和数据共享。室内通信带有其自己的许多挑战和诺言。目前，无线竞技场的主要参与者正在考虑这些挑战，包括我们的渥太华工业合作伙伴爱立信加拿大。我们在此提案中的目标是详细说明关键的室内无线沟通挑战，为解决这些挑战做出贡献并探索他们提供的机会。尽管基本的基本差异是其操作的根本差异，但新兴的第五代（5G）新无线电台（NR）标准仍需要室内和室外范式之间的无缝过渡。预计拟议的研究计划的成功完成将增强室内无线网络的能力和覆盖范围，以服务于具有较高数据速率需求的更多无线用户。从学术的角度来看，拟议的主题将有助于培训研究团队的成员，使用分析和仿真工具来洞悉信号传导和网络机制，并增强在indoor通信环境实施的约束和挑战下有效利用频谱的知识体系。因此，研究团队的成员将深入了解电信行业遇到的实际困难。从经济和工业的角度来看，该计划的结果有望通过新的方法和洞察力来赋予爱立信加拿大的能力，以对强大的室内沟通技术，使IT为对未来无线通信网络的室内沟通标准化的持续活动做出了有效的贡献。****************************
