SUMMARY:U of T IEEE AP-S Student Chapter: OriginLab Tutorial
DESCRIPTION:It’s a cliche that a picture says 1\,000 words\, but great figures are a key asset to quality publications! Are you struggling to create high quality figures for your paper? Perhaps you’re frustrated using PowerPoint or confused by the steep learning curve of TikZ. Regardless we are here to help.  The U of T AP-S student chapter is offering a tutorial on OriginLab\, a powerful image generation application\, this Friday Mar 1st in BA7180 from 2:00pm-3:30pm. OriginLab is capable of easily generating high quality vector graphics for displaying your data or creating diagrams. Coffee and treats will be provided!  Please register via IEEE vTools so that we can order the correct amount of food. Also please send an email to stewart.pearson@mail.utoronto.ca if you have any dietary restrictions or preferences.  Room: BA7180\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, 40 St George St.\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 2E4

SUMMARY:Network Dynamics-Aware Resource Management for Mobile Edge Computing
DESCRIPTION:The sixth-generation (6G) communication networks are anticipated to enable a variety of innovative applications and provide extreme connectivity for mobile devices. To meet the evolving service demands in highly dynamic network environments\, mobile edge computing (MEC) and artificial intelligence (AI) will be two pivotal technologies in 6G. MEC extends computing and storage capabilities within radio access networks\, coping with the increasing computing demands from mobile users. Meanwhile\, AI facilitates intelligent resource management by enabling network entities to learn and build knowledge about network dynamics. In this talk\, we will explore AI-assisted resource management for MEC-enabled networks\, addressing the computing challenges caused by device mobility and heterogeneity. We will introduce two AI-assisted resource management approaches\, each tailored to support a representative MEC use case: the Internet of Vehicles and mobile virtual reality video streaming. Finally\, we will outline a future research plan focused on holistic network virtualization through digital twin technologies\, aimed at further enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of AI-assisted network management towards 6G.

SUMMARY:Mid-infrared Transmitter and Receiver for Free Space Optical SatCom
DESCRIPTION:Mid-infrared Transmitter and Receiver for Free Space Optical SatCom  Abstract – In this talk\, we review efforts of the Xu research group at McMaster to implement a C-band to mid-infrared (3.4-3.5 micron) transmitter and receiver pair. This is accomplished via difference frequency generation and sum frequency generation for the transmitter and receiver modules\, respectively. We will go over professional packaging progress\, project outcomes\, and discuss the significant improvement in conversion efficiency over the reported literature thanks to the intracavity design. Additionally\, a link budget model for the C-band and mid-infrared are compared to evaluate pros and cons of potentially adopting mid-infrared for satellite communications\, as well as any adjacent applications for the modules.  ————————————————————————  Émetteur et récepteur infrarouge moyen pour SatCom optique en espace libre  Résumé – Dans cet exposé\, nous passons en revue les efforts du groupe de recherche Xu à McMaster pour mettre en œuvre une paire émetteur et récepteur en bande C vers l’infrarouge moyen (3\,4-3\,5 microns). Ceci est accompli via la génération de fréquence différentielle et la génération de fréquence somme pour les modules émetteur et récepteur\, respectivement. Nous passerons en revue les progrès de l’emballage professionnel\, les résultats du projet et discuterons de l’amélioration significative de l’efficacité de conversion par rapport à la littérature rapportée grâce à la conception intracavité. De plus\, un modèle de bilan de liaison pour la bande C et l’infrarouge moyen est comparé pour évaluer les avantages et les inconvénients de l’adoption potentielle de l’infrarouge moyen pour les communications par satellite\, ainsi que de toute application adjacente pour les modules.
