SUMMARY:Integrated Terrestrial-Aerial-Satellite Networks: Key Enabler for the Super Smart Cities of the Future
DESCRIPTION:There have been rapid and exciting developments in recent years in satellite networks\, in particular\, in LEO mega-constellations such as SpaceX’s Starlink. Although less visible\, exciting developments have also been taking place in a certain type of aerial networks known as the high-altitude platform station (HAPS) systems\, such as the formation of HAPS Alliance which brings together the connectivity and aerospace industries. It is worth noting that the satellite and aerial networks discussions have been occurring exclusively in the context of remote and rural connectivity. A major concern in this context is the rather questionable business case; there is limited revenue in rural and remote regions. In this talk\, a novel vision will be presented for an integrated terrestrial-aerial-satellite networks architecture as a key enabler for the super smart cities of 2030s and beyond \nSpeaker: Dr. Halim Yanikomeroglu \nBiography: Dr. Halim Yanikomeroglu is a Professor at Carleton University\, Canada. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1998. He contributed to 4G/5G technologies and standards; his research focus in recent years has been on 6G and non-terrestrial networks (NTN). His extensive collaboration with industry resulted in 37 granted patents. He supervised or hosted in his lab around 140 postgraduate researchers. He co-authored IEEE papers with faculty members in 80+ universities in 25 countries. He is a Fellow of IEEE\, Engineering Institute of Canada\, and Canadian Academy of Engineering\, and an IEEE Distinguished Speaker for Communications Society (ComSoc) and Vehicular Technology Society (VTS). He is currently chairing the IEEE WCNC (Wireless Communications and Networking Conference) Steering Committee; he is also a member of PIMRC Steering Committee and ComSoc Emerging Technologies Committee. He served as the General Chair of two VTCs and Technical Program Chair/Co-Chair of three WCNCs. He chaired ComSoc Technical Committee on Personal Communications. He received several awards for his research\, teaching\, and service including IEEE ComSoc Fred W. Ellersick Prize (2021)\, IEEE VTS Stuart Meyer Memorial Award (2020)\, and IEEE ComSoc Wireless Communications Technical Committee Recognition Award (2018).
