There is an emerging demand for new space network (SN) infrastructures to eliminate bottlenecks of the current terrestrial networks and to provide services on a global scale. SNs are envisioned as multi-layer integrated networks based on various space platforms, including low Earth orbit satellites. Supported by additional SN elements (orbiters, landers, rovers, and even crew members), the scope of the SN vision extends beyond terrestrial connectivity. This Chair aims at developing secure and robust communication technologies to foster the development of SNs to their full potential. 3 main objectives (O) are planned;O1-Design of SNs to provide global access equality: Innovative solutions to connect the SNs utilizing the existing user terminals will be proposed with the ultimate objective of developing a network architecture that can connect the unconnected off-grid communities.O2-Design of innovative services for robust, sustainable, and secure SNs: The role of SNs in providing novel space-based services will be explored. The emerging paradigm of multi-function multi-band transceivers, which are capable of communication, computation, caching, sensing, localization, and energy transfer/harvesting capabilities, will be adopted for the SN conditions for the first time. O3-Design of an autonomous radio resource management (RRM) framework: A machine learning (ML) assisted native RRM framework will be developed to enable autonomous configuration of SNs by distributed decision making. In the era of multi-purpose outpost plans orbiting the Moon and other planets, the Chair will both address global access equality problems and explore new frontiers in space communications. The state-of-the-art theoretical research will be supported by simulations and experimentation to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approaches. By bolstering the Earth connectivity, introducing innovative SN-based services, and developing an autonomous radio resource management (RRM) framework for secure and reliable communications, the proposed transformative research program aims at paving the way toward extending the horizon of humanity in an equitable and accessible manner. The developed multi-functional SNs, with an ML-assisted autonomic RRM, will not only address the current need for robust and secure communication but also pave the way for the SN industry, in line with the Innovation and Skills Plan of Canada's strong commitment to the space sector.

人们对新的太空网络（SN）基础架构有一个新兴的需求，以消除当前陆地网络的瓶颈并在全球范围内提供服务。基于各种空间平台（包括低地球轨道卫星），将SNS设想为多层集成网络。在其他SN元素（轨道，着陆器，流浪者，甚至机组人员）的支持下，SN视觉的范围超出了陆地连通性。该椅子旨在开发安全和强大的通信技术，以促进SNS的发展，以充分发挥其潜力。将提出3个主要目标（O）； SNS的O1设计以提供全局访问平等：将提出使用现有用户终端连接SN的创新解决方案，以开发网络架构的最终目标，即开发网络架构，该网络架构可以连接无连接的离网社区。O2-Designities o2-design of Innovative Space for Innovation for Neinavite in Innovation in Innovitiant of Suptorable，可持续，SECERED SNS SNS的作用。多功能多波段收发器的新兴范式将首次采用SN条件。自动无线电资源管理（RRM）框架的O3设计：将开发机器学习（ML）辅助本机RRM框架，以通过分布式决策来实现SNS的自主配置。在绕着月球和其他行星旋转的多功能前哨计划的时代，椅子将解决全球访问权益问题，并探索太空通信中的新边界。最先进的理论研究将由模拟和实验支持，以证明所提出的方法的可行性。通过加强地球连接，引入创新的基于SN的服务，并为安全可靠的通信开发自主无线电资源管理（RRM）框架，拟议的变革性研究计划旨在以公平且可访问的方式铺平道路，以铺平道路。开发的具有ML辅助自主RRM的多功能SNS不仅可以解决当前对稳健和安全的沟通的需求，而且还针对SN行业铺平了道路，这与加拿大对太空行业的坚定承诺的创新和技能计划相符。
