SUMMARY:Future Communications R&D Programme in Singapore
DESCRIPTION:Communications and connectivity have become the critical foundational technology that supports Singapore’s economy. Singapore has invested close to S$70 million through the launch of Singapore’s first national Future Communications Research and Development Programme (FCP)\, to jumpstart cutting-edge communications and connectivity research. This grows local capability\, to translate into innovative products\, services and companies. The programme is hosted by the Singapore University of Technology and Design. FCP encourages collaboration between industry and research ecosystem. It will provide easy access to testbeds to facilitate development of 5G and future communication technologies. FCP seeks to collaborate with R&D partners both domestically and internationally to explore different opportunities to advance capabilities in future communications.\nSpeaker(s): Tony Quek \,\nRoom: BA 1180\, Bldg: Bahen Centre\, 40 St George St\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada

SUMMARY:Algorithms & protocols joint coms\, localization\, sensing by Dr. George Alexandropoulos
DESCRIPTION:Title: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces: Communications\, sensing\, and their integration\nAbstract: The advent of the connected things paradigm within 5G wireless communications enabled various sophisticated applications\, whose evolution paves the way for the notion of the connected intelligence of everything in 6G networks. Recent speculations for this upcoming new generation push the 5G performance indicators to unprecedented levels\, envisioning THz frequency bands\, devices with embedded sensing capabilities\, and native AI. All these are expected to become a reality around 2030 and with a strong green footprint. In this talk\, we will elaborate around the emerging technology of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) which is provisioned as the enabler of smart wireless environments\, offering a highly scalable\, low-cost\, hardware-efficient\, and almost energy-neutral solution for the dynamic control of the propagation of electromagnetic signals. We will discuss their evolution from programmable reflecting metamaterials to connected computational- and power-autonomous hybrid metasurfaces\, emphasizing on the state-of-the-art approaches for RIS-empowered communications\, localization\, and sensing.\nShort Biography: George C.

In the past\, he has held various fixed-term and guest editorial positions for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and IEEE Communications Letters\, as well as for various special issues at IEEE journals. Prof. Alexandropoulos is a Senior Member of the IEEE Communications\, Signal Processing\, and Information Theory Societies\, the vice-chair of the (https://eurasip.org/technical-area-committees/)\, as well as a registered Professional Engineer of the Technical Chamber of Greece. He is also a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society. He has participated and/or technically managed more than 15 European Union (EU)\, international\, and Greek research\, innovation\, and development projects. He is currently NKUA’s principal investigator for the EU H2020 RISE‑6G and the SNS JU TERRAMETA projects dealing with RIS-empowered smart wireless environments and THz RISs\, respectively. For the former project he also serves as the dissemination manager\, whereas for the latter\, he also serves as the project’s technical manager. Prof. Alexandropoulos has received the best Ph.D. thesis award 2010\, the IEEE Communications Society Best Young Professional in Industry Award 2018\, the EURASIP Best Paper Award of the Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking 2021\, the IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award in Wireless Communications 2021\, and a Best Paper Award from the IEEE GLOBECOM 2021.

SUMMARY:Cybersecurity and Machine Learning Applications
DESCRIPTION:The Internet is the baseline for cyberspace\, where technology infrastructure can be autonomous. It is a virtual space that can be accessed via different interconnected network devices. These devices can come from trusted or untrusted sources; therefore\, the communication among these devices might be safe and/or unsafe which leads to insecure vulnerable communication in cyberspace. Security in cyberspace\, namely Cyber-security can be described as a set of measures that makes cyberspace safe. Identifying threats and predicting vulnerabilities in this environment are the key components of the security mechanism. The main cause of security violations is the intrusion of an attacker into the network or the devices. Machine learning is one of the branches of artificial intelligence which can be used to increase the accuracy level for detecting threats in cyberspace to improve the system’s efficiency and performance. In this talk\, how machine learning can help detect and mitigate cyber threats is presented.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Mizanur Rahman\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/337646

SUMMARY:IEEE EPS Distinguished Lecture: Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging
DESCRIPTION:[]\nPlease note that this lecture has unfortunately had to be cancelled. Lecture notes from the talk will be shared with registrants. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.\nThe IEEE Toronto Electronics Packaging Society is proud to present Distinguished Lecturer Dr. John Lau of Unimicron Technology Corporation and his talk on “Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging”.\nAbstract\nChiplet is a chip design method and heterogeneous integration is a chip packaging method. Heterogeneous integration uses packaging technology to integrate dissimilar chips\, photonic devices\, and/or components (either side-by-side\, stacked\, or both) with different sizes and functions\, and from different fabless design houses\, foundries\, wafer sizes\, feature sizes and companies into a system or subsystem on a common package substrate. For the next few years\, we will see more implementations of a higher level of chiplet designs and heterogeneous integration packaging\, whether it is for time-to-market\, performance\, form factor\, power consumption or cost. In this lecture\, the introduction\, recent advances\, and trends in chiplet design and heterogeneous integrationpackaging will be presented.\nPlease join us Tuesday\, December 13th at 11 AM in BA1240. The event will also be streamed live on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person.\nFood and refreshments will be served.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. John H Lau\,\nBldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, 40 St George St\, Room BA1240\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 2E4\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/335514

SUMMARY:Paving the Way Towards Mobile IAB: Problems\, Solutions and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:5G networks are being designed and deployed considering a dense deployment of small cells in order to simultaneously serve more users with higher throughput and lower delay. However\, building from scratch a completely new infrastructure is costly and takes time. Deploying access and backhaul as wireless links\, a.k.a. integrated access and backhaul (IAB)\, is envisioned as a viable approach to enable flexible and dense networks. Even further\, mobile IAB (mIAB) is a candidate solution to enhance the connectivity of users moving together. Motivated by this\, in this talk\, we firstly present the basic architecture of IAB. Then\, we provide the main use cases of mIAB. After that\, an extensive performance analysis is presented. Passengers and pedestrians quality of service is evaluated. Moreover\, results related to the wireless backhaul are also presented. The mIAB scenario is compared to two benchmark solutions\, i.e.\, a scenario with only macro gNBs and a scenario with macro and pico gNBs fiber-connected to the core network. Finally\, we summarize the lessons learned and list some open issues and future directions.\nSpeaker(s): Victor Monteiro\, Francisco Rafael Lima\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/337093
