SUMMARY:Why Software Fails and Why AI cannot Help
DESCRIPTION:It was once widely believed that computers would enhance the speed\, reliability\, and applicability of human deductive reasoning in the physical and social sciences\, much as motorized vehicles (e.g.\, cars\, trains\, airplanes) have enhanced the speed\, reliability\, and applicability of human manual abilities in transportation. Yet\, 60 years later\, computers can be used confidently only for paperwork tasks\, analysis of regularly structured data\, and simple process control applications. Complex software rarely satisfies user needs\, is untrustworthy and difficult to maintain\, and largely opaque to its users. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods including heuristics\, machine learning\, and statistical methods are in opposition to sound deductive reasoning. This presentation explains certain practical and logical impediments to computer enhancement of human deductive reasoning\, the deductive limitations of modern programming languages\, the role of AI\, and provides some promising alternatives.\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/322735

SUMMARY:IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer: Practical 5G Channel and System Modeling Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Channel link-level and system level modeling played a critical role in proper design and deployment of all generations of wireless network systems. Particularly\, system level modeling has become an important task for network planning\, network design\, and network optimization of wireless cellular systems. System level simulations allow to evaluate the performance of an entire network containing many Evolved Node B (eNodeB) sectors serving a lot of user equipment (UEs) in urban\, suburban\, and rural environments. Design and performance of new technology features require to be accurately verified and improved before deployment into commercial systems. Therefore\, real-world system performance modeling and predictions should be very reliable and should be based on repeatable measurements of how the model behaves in the actual environment. Both the wireless industry and academia have made a significant effort developing and defining new and updated channel models such as the 3GPP 3D channel model and the extended 3GPP extended channel model for milli-meter wave. New 3D geodata models with high-resolution and artificial intelligent (AI) algorithms are greatly enhancing the RF propagation modeling in line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) beamformed signals and FD-MIMO antenna applications of 5G wireless network systems. In this talk\, we will review some of the key 5G wideband wireless channel modeling including the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)\, NYU SIM\, and others. We will discuss some of the general practical use cases of 5G network system modeling scenarios. Additionally\, we will describe some of the practical challenges of channel and system modeling in 5G wireless systems.\nSpeaker(s): Kafi Hassan\,\nRoom: BA 2185\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, University of Toronto\, 40 St George St\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada

SUMMARY:Australia’s Renewables Growth and Electricity Network Response
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s renewable energy sector has been growing rapidly in the last several years. After a brief introduction to Australia\, it’s resources and electricity networks\, I will then give an update of the major (GW scale) renewable projects and some other key statistics and milestones in renewables growth for 2021/22.\nThis growth has led to transmission network reviews and formal announcements of renewable energy zones (REZ) in NSW and Queensland. A specific example will be given: Powerlink’s Transmission network upgrade between Townsville and Cairns which supports Queensland’s Northern renewable energy zone. Both transmission and distribution network planners are also having to decide how to manage an increasingly variable sources of generation. Options such as more storage\, demand management\, and generation control are all possible solutions. Planning for and enabling them quickly\, and hopefully at lowest cost\, is an ongoing challenge. Energex are examining MW scale batteries as a genuine mechanism for delivering distribution network capacity upgrades\, and all Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) are examining Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs) to better manage Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).\nFinally\, I will mention the (slow) growth of EVs in Australia\, discuss the reasons why\, and the implications as this inevitably changes.\nSpeaker(s): Geoff Walker\,\nRoom: MS 4279\, Medical Sciences Building\, 1 King’s College Circle\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 1A8

SUMMARY:VDL talk on "AI Based Zero Energy Communication in 6G”
DESCRIPTION:Austin ComSoc/SP/CtSoc and Computer/EMBS joint chapters would like to invite you to attend a special VDL talk on\n“AI Based Zero Energy Communication in 6G”\nSpeaker:\nProf. Sinem Coleri\, Koc University (Turkey)\nAbstract\n—————-\nSupporting low- or zero-energy machine type devices through the incorporation of energy harvesting technologies in 6G is expected to reduce frequent battery replacements as well as sustaining the operation of battery-less devices. The nodes can harvest energy from natural sources\, such as sun\, vibration and pressure; inductive and magnetic coupling; and radio frequency (RF) based wireless energy transfer. The complexity of the integration of energy harvesting into communication system design is increasing with the wide variety of the requirements of massive machine type communication scenarios in terms of reliability\, delay and throughput. This high complexity can only be handled by the usage of AI techniques to continuously monitor the system knowledge and update the optimal communication and energy harvesting parameters accordingly. In this talk\, novel optimal resource allocation algorithms are presented for low- or zero-energy machine type devices based on the usage of AI techniques. The wireless communication network and energy harvesting parameters are mapped to the optimal resource allocation by using deep neural networks.\nBio\n——\nSinem Coleri is Professor in the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Koc University. She is also the founding director of Wireless Networks Laboratory (WNL). Her research interests are in wireless communications and networking with applications in machine-to-machine communication\, sensor networks and intelligent transportation systems.\nSinem Coleri received the BS degree in electrical and electronics engineering from Bilkent University in 2000\, the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer sciences from University of California Berkeley in 2002 and 2005.

SUMMARY:VDL: Reliable and Scalable Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Protocol Design for Intelligent Transportation
DESCRIPTION:Reliable and scalable wireless transmissions for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) are technically challenging. Each vehicle\, from driver-assisted to automated one\, will generate a flood of information\, up to thousands of times of that by a person. Vehicle density may change drastically over time and location. Emergency messages and real-time cooperative control messages have stringent delay constraints\, while infotainment applications may tolerate a certain degree of latency. On a congested road\, vehicles need to exchange information badly\, only to find that services are not available due to scarcity of wireless spectrum. Considering the service requirements of heterogeneous V2X applications\, service guarantee relies on an in-depth understanding of network performance and innovations in wireless resource management. In this talk\, we compare the performance of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) beacon broadcasting using random access-based (IEEE 802.11p) and resource allocation-based (C-V2X) protocols and introduce several enhancement strategies to mitigate packet collisions\, recover from transmission errors\, and support two-user non-orthogonal transmissions. They can be become enabling tools toward reliable and scalable V2X for future intelligent transportation systems.\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Cai\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/322914

SUMMARY:Towards Wireless Networking\, Sensing\, and Security in the Sub-Terahertz Regime: Design and Experiments
DESCRIPTION:The spectrum above 100 GHz offers plentiful bandwidth for ultra-high-speed communication and high-resolution sensing\, thereby providing a promising foundation for realizing unprecedented capabilities in next-generation wireless networks. In this talk\, I will begin by presenting emerging transceiver architecture that can enable directional sub-THz steering without traditional multi-antenna arrays. I will discuss how to exploit the key characteristics of sub-THz signals and the proposed architecture for high-resolution localization. Such sensing modalities can then be exploited to enable highly directional\, high data rate links that are robust to client and environmental mobility. I will address one of the main concerns with sub-THz networking which is high power consumption by introducing the first ultra-wideband retro-directive backscatter above 100 GHz. Finally\, I will discuss new security paradigms in this regime: while the conventional wisdom suggests that physical layer security improves with narrow beams\, I will explain new vulnerabilities introduced by the control plane as well as emerging low-cost smart reflecting surfaces. I will conclude the talk by illustrating fundamentally new techniques for wireless authentication and security.\nSpeaker(s): Yasaman Ghasempour \,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/320934

SUMMARY:A Holistic Vision of Sustainable Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Toronto ComSoc Chapter for this in-person talk by Dr. Lina Bariah\, from the Technology Innovation Institute\, on “A Holistic Vision of Sustainable Smart Cities” !\nSince the evolution of the smart city concept\, the way we are living our everyday life has been revolving toward integrating intelligence in every aspect of our lives\, spanning from automated systems\, smart homes\, smart buildings and factories\, to intelligent transportation systems and intelligent retail. While this paradigm has motivated the emergence of novel technological trends\, in order to meet its demanding requirements\, several technologies have played a fundamental role in enabling the smart city concept\, such as internet-of-things (IoT)\, sensing\, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)\, and cloud and edge computing\, to name a few. Along the way\, wireless network generations have fundamentally participated in maturing the paradigm of smart city\, which will continue to grow with the aim to realize pervasive user-centric applications supported by ubiquitous intelligence. This means\, AI is anticipated to be the fuel for every aspect in smart cities.\nThis talk will explore the opportunities offered by wireless networks in smart city applications\, and the role of AI as the main orchestrator.\nSpeaker(s): Lina Bariah\,\nRoom: 4th Floor- BA 4164\, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology\, University of Toronto\, 40 St George St\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, ON M5S2E4

SUMMARY:Novel solution for MVDC and HVDC cable insulation
DESCRIPTION:The extension of power grid interconnection with an increased amount of power flow control\, the long-distance transmission\, and the integration of large blocks of wind\, solar and hydro powers all call for the accelerated development of high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission. Despite the opportunities such as lower power loss\, higher capacity for a fixed corridor\, fully controllable power flow\, better transmission and stabilization capabilities between non-synchronized AC power systems\, and no length restriction because of free reactive power compensation\, there are still significant technical challenges for HVDC cabling systems. The electric field distribution under DC voltage in the cylindrical cable insulation initiates with the Laplacian electric field distribution; however\, the thermal gradient (TG) across the insulation and the change of the electrical conductivity because of its temperature dependence under loading conditions will lead to the phenomenon of electric field inversion across the dielectric. In addition\, the electric field distribution across a DC cable insulation is affected and often distorted by the accumulation of space charge. Therefore\, controlled electrical conductivity and highly suppressed space charge accumulation are desired for tailoring the electric field across the cable insulation under DC. Full characterization and detailed understanding of these properties as well as their correlation may bring the ability to engineer needed dielectric properties for using as DC cable insulation. With respect to implications for practical material design\, the study demonstrates that a polymer material with activation energies in the range of 0.4 to 0.5 eV with relatively high trap density can be suitable for HVDC cable insulation.\nThe mass-impregnated (MI) insulations have been used traditionally for DC cabling systems with line-commutated converter (LCC) schemes. The MI insulations produced by a lapping process could be considered as a layered composite structure with excellent performance under polarity reversal condition which is essential for changing the direction of power flow in LCC systems. Compared with MI insulation cables\, polymeric insulations such as crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulations are lighter\, less expensive\, and less harmful to the environment compared with MI insulation cables and can be manufactured by continuous extrusion process and conveniently extended during installation by oil-free pre-molded joints. However\, DC cables with XLPE insulation are only applicable for the voltage source converter (VSC) systems. Therefore\, there still exists the need for insulation with the advantages of both MI and polymeric insulations\, i.e.\, an extrudable insulation that is compatible with polarity reversal. A model DC material based on the ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) incorporated with 2D inorganic nanoclays is proposed. The DC electrical properties of the proposed material show large improvement in space charge suppression\, controlled electrical conductivity and consequently more uniform electric field distribution. Microstructure studies suggest the uniform and oriented distribution of 2D nanoclay particles in EPR matrix causes a desired trap distribution with high density of shallow traps due to the presence of a high interfacial area between polymer chains and nanoclay particles. The macroscopic effect of that is a significant reduction of activation energy which contributes to controlling the charge transport and suppressing the space charge accumulation in the composite dielectrics. Results of the thermally stimulated depolarization current spectra of the samples are in good agreement with the predicted trap distribution based on the experimental results and morphological study.\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE DEIS M&C Co-chair – Jim Guo\nSpeaker(s): Mohamadreza \,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/318272
