The Ericsson-Carleton University Partnership for Research and Leadership in Wireless Networks is a collaborative effort that will conduct cutting-edge research to build more reliable, secure technology for the future of 5G wireless communications. The support of Ericsson will enable Carleton researchers and Ericsson employees to work together on a range of projects. The research will take place over a couple of phases, with studies in a variety of areas that will be important for the development of 5G networks such as machine learning, drone navigation and channel optimization.
