Jie LiKeynote: AI & Data Analytics in Intelligent, Adaptive, and Efficient 6G Networks of 2030s
Speaker: Prof. Halim Yanikomeroglu, Carleton University, Canada

Abstract: The 5G standards are currently being developed with a scheduled completion date of December 2019; the 5G wireless networks are expected to be deployed globally throughout 2020s. As such, it is time to reinitiate a brainstorming endeavour followed by the technical groundwork towards the subsequent generation (6G) wireless networks of 2030s. One reasonable starting point in the unfolding 6G discussion is to reflect on the possible shortcomings of the 5G networks to-be-deployed. 5G promises to provide connectivity for a broad range of use-cases in a variety of vertical industries; after all, this rich set of scenarios is indeed what distinguishes 5G from the previous four generations. Many of the envisioned 5G use-cases require challenging target values for one or more of the key QoS elements, such as high rate, high reliability, low latency, high energy efficiency, and high security; we refer to the presence of such demanding links as the super-connectivity. However, the very fundamental principles of digital and wireless communications reveal that the provision of ubiquitous super-connectivity in the global scale – i.e., beyond indoors, dense downtown or campus-type areas – is infeasible with the legacy technologies and the network architecture as this would require prohibitively expensive gross over-provisioning. In the absence of a clear technology roadmap for the 2030s, the presentation has, to a certain extent, an exploratory view point to stimulate further thinking and creativity on the promise of AI and data analytics opportunities towards intelligent, adaptive, and efficient 6G networks of 2030s.

Short bio: Professor Halim Yanikomeroglu is with the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. His research covers many aspects of wireless communications and networking technologies; his group made contributions to 4G and 5G wireless networks. He supervised 22 PhD students (all completed with theses). He coauthored 130+ IEEE journal papers; his publications have received 12,000 citations. He is a Fellow of IEEE, Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), and Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE); he is a Distinguished Speaker for both IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. He has been one of the most frequent tutorial presenters in the leading international IEEE conferences (31 times). He has had extensive collaboration with industry which resulted in 28 granted patents. During 2012-2016, he led one of the largest academic-industrial collaborative research projects on pre-standards 5G wireless, sponsored by the Ontario Government and the industry. He was the Chair of the IEEE’s Technical Committee on Personal Communications. He served as the General Chair and Technical Program Chair of several major international IEEE conferences. He is currently serving as the Chair of the Steering Committee of IEEE’s flagship Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC).
