2023-10-10
6G-NTN project coordinator, Alessandro Vanelli-Coralli, Professor of Telecommunications at the University of Bologna, will give a Keynote speech: “6G Non-Terrestrial Networks: Vision and Challenges”, during the 2nd IEEE Workshop on B5G/6G Support for space/air/ground/marine/submarine cooperative, connected, and autonomous vehicles (online).
About the event
Cooperative, connected, and autonomous vehicles (CCAVs) have attracted tremendous research attention from both academia and industry, aiming at delivering a “society in motion” featured with unprecedented travel experience and significantly enhanced traffic efficiency and safety. The potential of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks to support CCAVs has been established from numerous seminal studies and field trials. From an initial interest in the ground segment to a new trend in exploring other domains (e.g., space, air and water), CCAVs have been pivotal to enable ubiquitous, seamless, and scalable mobility. In this context, the aim of this workshop is to assess the capabilities of beyond 5G (B5G) and sixth generation (6G) mobile networks to support CCAVs across all possible (i.e., space, air, ground, marine and submarine) segments. First, the workshop will identify the gaps of the existing 5G solutions in supporting the cooperation, connectivity, and autonomy elements of CCAVs. Second, the workshop will disseminate the latest findings and solutions assessing the capabilities of future B5G/6G networks in filling those gaps arising from a variety of CCAV use cases. Third, the workshop will analyse and discuss pressing challenges and future trends in the development, testing and deployment of CCAVs from various perspectives, including new algorithms, metrics, tools, and materials.

About this talk

Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) are wireless communication platforms operating above the surface of the Earth, typically achieved using satellites in low, medium or geostationary orbit as well as drones, High Altitude Platforms (HAPS) and other aerial systems. A component of 5G since 3GPP Release 17, there is now general agreement that future 6G will feature the “native integration” of NTN from the outset. Recognizing the importance of the topic, ETSI recently held a Conference on ‘Non-Terrestrial Networks, a Native Component of 6G’ (https://www.etsi.org/events/2306-etsi-ntn-conference#pane-1/). The conference examined NTN use cases, candidate technologies, current research status and standardization roadmaps. Due to the intense interest in the 6G and NTN topics, this ETSI webinar will allow further discussion around the topic as our expert speakers will discuss and develop the priority areas for 6G and NTN. We will encourage strong audience participation during the event where the experts will answer your questions and get your thoughts / feedback on the future directions for NTN in 6G.

The webinar will be presented by:

Moderator: David BOSWARTHICK, Director New Technologies (NET), ETSI
Javier ALBARES BUENO, Head of 5G/6G Program, Smart Network and Services Joint Undertaking

one6G - Open Lecture 8 – Cell-free massive MIMO
2024-06-20 14:00 - 16:00 UTC | online
Following the success of the previous lectures, the Association is happy to confirm that Open Lecture 8 will take place on June 20, 2024, at 14h00 CEST, covering the subject of cell-free massive MIMO.
Current wireless standards are evolving toward large-scale massive MIMO deployments. Cell-free massive MIMO (CF-MIMO, also known as distributed MIMO) is a promising new architecture for future radio access. By moving away from the classical cellular design, it avoids the problems of cell-edge interference and frequent handovers. This is especially important when transmission-reception points (TRP) and user equipments (UE) are densely distributed. A key feature differentiating cell-free MIMO from previous distributed MIMO architectures is the concept of user-centricity, which means that each UE can be flexibly connected to individually formed clusters of TRPs.
The one6G Open Lecture 8 will feature three top-class speakers who will present and discuss important results, new possibilities, and open questions regarding the standardization and commercialization of this new technology.

A walk into how Marconi gave us
THE WIRELESS WORLD

On Sept. 8, 1902, Guglielmo Marconi was looking at the Tuscan coast from the cruiser “Carlo Alberto” . While passing in front of Leghorn, Marconi expressed his intention to build a powerful intercontinental station. The selected site was Coltano, a rural area between Lucca and Leghorn. The Coltano station was inaugurated by Marconi himself in 1911 with transmissions to Clifden (Ireland) and Glace Bay (Canada). SPAWC 2024 will be a great opportunity to learn more about this once worldwide renowned, but now completely forgotten, radio station.

Building Value Through The 6G Creation Process

While technologists and researchers are excited by the possibilities inherent in future generations of telecoms, business leaders are cautious about more demands for up-front investment and uncertain gains. We need new economic and commercial models to ensure the industry thrives; models which don’t wait for 6G but which will enable companies to make the most of new capabilities as they emerge.
To enable this, we need to build a fresh dynamic in telecoms; closer collaboration between technical and commercial leaders to enable a shared understanding of where value may lie in the next generation, what customers in the public sector, enterprises and consumers need and how to deliver those requirements. This generational change is something that goes far beyond pure technology but can and should involve policymakers and regulators; business decision-makers; and operational systems.
In Washington DC significant decision-makers will be debating essential questions for the progress of the telecoms industry: Join us to have your say.

What to expect:

Interactive conversations and public debates on essential policy, commercial and technology issues.
High-level meetings to dig deeper into sensitive concerns.
Networking with a wide variety of stakeholders from across North America and beyond.
Live demonstrations of cutting-edge technology.

6G Forum - The Next Leap: Will 6G Deliver?
2024-10-01 | online
Is it too early to be talking about 6G? The telco industry seems divided into two camps: those investing heavily in 6G R&D, advocating for a more energy-efficient, life-enhancing next generation of networks, and those skeptical about the actual benefits and ROI of 6G, especially as the industry still seeks to monetize 5G investments.Beyond the technological challenges, commercializing 6G and convincing carriers to invest in this new technology present significant hurdles. RCR Wireless News’ virtual 6G Forum will address not only the question of “how do we do it?” but also “why do we need it?”Want to join the event live on October 1st with a variety of panel discussions, presentations and interviews, where we will explore?

6GIC-CLICK Featuring Non-Terrestrial Networks - Towards 6G
2024-10-02 00:00 - 23:59 UTC
This exciting event will bring together experts and enthusiasts from the field of Non-Terrestrial Networks, to discuss the latest advancements and innovations.

The demand for mobility, ubiquitous coverage and resilience has driven communications in 5G and 6G to include NTN. The latter includes multi orbit satellites, High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) and Aerial devices in the lower troposphere. In 5G and 5G advanced we are already seeing integrated service delivery via cellular and satellite direct to commercial mobile phones heralding a convergence of these sectors. This is being enabled by new 3GPP NTN 5G standards helping to create the new ecosystem. The 5G advanced era will herald large constellations of LEO satellites with on board processing including network functions previously only terrestrial located but now offering direct phone to phone connections without the need for terrestrial infrastructure. As we now move into the period of defining a completely new and unified 6G system, NTN will play a key role in proving coverage and resilience via an interconnected 3D space network converged with terrestrial networks.
