Keynote1: Full Duplex Communications for the Next Generation Wireless Networks - Room M-1120

Chair: Samuel Pierre (Polytechnique Montreal, Canada)

Abstract

With work on the 3GPP Release 18 ongoing, 5G-Advanced is on its way. An unprecedented proliferation of new Internet-of-everything services is continuing, such as extended reality, aerial vehicles, automation of industry, and connected autonomous systems, leading to the digital transformation of the society. In the last few years, the research community has started to look toward the next generation (6G) of wireless networks, which aims to bring us closer to the fully connected, intelligent digital world of the future. This talk will briefly discuss the vision for 6G wireless networks, and then focus on the full duplex technology which theoretically doubles the sum rate and enables reduced latency. In particular, different machine learning-based methods will be presented to tackle the critical self-interference problem in full duplex transceivers. The talk will conclude with directions for future investigation in the next generation wireless networks.

Abstract

The emerging wireless networks architecture for 6G will encompass the novel data plane and computing plane design, to address the "data-driven" service and applications in 2030-2050 time-frame. Moreover, the AI or even the AGI will become the dominant service and applications, therefore, it is imperative that the mobility connectivity will be optimized the to deliver AI service in the people-to-people, machine-to-machine communications scenarios. A new Distributed Wireless Networks Computing Architecture is proposed to meet the challenges for the post Moor's law computing and post Shannon communications, this will consider of the exa-FLOPS computing at data-center and peta-FLOPS at mobile devices. ChatGPT like service will be excellent example for the 6G mobile service for the mass consumer market and the emerging consumer robot markets.

Keynote3: Reconfigurable Intelligent Metasurfaces for Smart Radio Communications in 6G - Room M-1120

Chair: Abderrahim Benslimane (University of Avignon & LIA/CERI, France)

Abstract

Reconfigurable Intelligent metaSurfaces (RISs) are generally planar surfaces consisting of unit-cells that can be tuned dynamically to alter the amplitude, polarization, and/or phase of the incident electromagnetic signals, thereby collaboratively reconfiguring the signal propagation to achieve various desired functions such as three-dimensional (3D) passive beamforming, spatial interference nulling and/or cancellation. RISs can serve as low-cost network nodes to achieve network densification without using expensive base stations or access points. They are envisioned to be one of the key technologies in order to boost coverage, capacity, energy efficiency, reliability, and security of 6G wireless communications. In this talk, starting from the fundamental background and classification of a variety of RISs, their operating principles and applications, design and resource allocation solutions for RIS-enhanced wireless networks will be presented. These solutions borrow a variety of concepts and tools from signal processing for wireless communications, stochastic geometry, optimization, and deep learning. Open research challenges and research directions pertaining to design and deployment of RIS and their integration with other key 6G technologies (e.g. for mmWave and THz communications) will be also discussed.
