As more devices are developed and interconnected, the communication infrastructure becomes critical and time-sensitive for many applications such as drone control, remote surgery and vehicle to vehicle communication. These critical communications must be resilient to interference, jamming, intrusions, and are often required to provide services with extremely low latency. The goal of this proposal is to explore various solutions to issues related to this critical communication infrastructure. The proposal encompasses several topics spanning the field of digital communications. It centers around two main topics: low-latency communications and traffic analysis, but involves several layers of the communication stack, ranging from the physical layer to the application layer. Standing at the crossroad between two key domains: latency optimization and security in communication networks, the proposed project aims at the ambitious objective of significantly reducing latency in secure communication networks.This objective is furthermore circumscribed by taking into account the transmission of two different message types: short critical messages, and long non-critical messages. The 'critical' aspect of said message types herein refers to their latency requirement. A critical message requires lower latency (faster end-to-end transmission) than a non-critical message. A typical critical message relates to signaling and control information for real-time, or near real-time, systems (i.e. remote drone control, utility infrastructure monitoring, telemedicine, etc.). In order to achieve this global objective, a systemic approach based on the monitoring of network conditions is proposed. Research activities involving the definition, the real-time extraction and the analysis of such network condition metrics are also provisioned in the work-plan. Leveraging network-wide metrics with local, i.e. network segment level, performance data will support the deployment of novel secure routing and planning schemes which shall have a significant positive impact on latency.

随着更多设备的开发和互连，对于许多应用程序，例如无人机控制，远程手术和车辆通信的车辆，通信基础设施变得至关重要且具有时间敏感。这些关键沟通必须对干扰，干扰，侵入性具有弹性，并且通常需要提供延迟极低的服务。该提案的目的是探索与此关键沟通基础设施有关的问题的各种解决方案。该提案涵盖了数字通信领域的几个主题。它围绕两个主要主题：低延迟通信和流量分析，但涉及几层通信堆栈，从物理层到应用程序层。拟议的项目站在两个关键领域之间的十字路口：通信网络中的延迟优化和安全性，旨在显着降低安全通信网络中潜伏期的雄心勃勃。此处所述消息类型的“关键”方面是指其延迟要求。与非关键消息相比，关键消息需要较低的延迟（端到端传输更快）。一个典型的关键信息与实时或接近实时系统的信号传导和控制信息有关（即远程无人机控制，公用事业基础架构监视，远程医疗等）。为了实现这一全球目标，提出了基于网络条件监视的系统方法。工作计划还提供了涉及定义，实时提取和对此类网络状况指标的分析的研究活动。利用本地（即网络细分级别）利用网络范围的指标，性能数据将支持新型安全路由和规划方案的部署，这些方案将对延迟产生重大的积极影响。
