This paper identifies key challenges and promising approaches for dense and complex urban deployments enabled by optical-wireless coexistence. Our 6G vision focuses on four main innovation paradigms: * Network Capacity: Pursuing radio frequencies towards the THz domain to meet future capacity demands. * Cooperative Coexistence: Ensuring efficient operation under heterogeneous conditions through cooperative physical layer architecture. * Resource Optimization: Joint and holistic optimization for mm-wave and sub-THz operations while maintaining legacy systems. * Network Security: Addressing unique security aspects critical for market adoption of new technologies. In this paper, we provide an overview of state-of-the-art approaches and identify research gaps within these paradigms. This accomplishment is a testament to the collaborative work within EWOC project. We are grateful to everyone involved in this project, and the fruitful discussions we had that led to the publication of this paper.

Paper published in IEEE Xplore Our latest research paper on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces has just been published on 𝐈𝐄𝐄𝐄 𝐗𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲! After successful establishment of 5G network, researchers are now focusing on developing 6G networks, which promise even faster and more reliable connections. By leveraging the benefits of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces, we have achieved both optimal performance and low pilot overhead. Our paper proposes an Adaptive dual timescale channel estimation. This framework exploits the high-dimensional yet quasi-static nature of the BS-RIS channel and the mobile yet low-dimensional nature of the RIS-UE channel. A constraint is introduced where if the number of RIS elements exceeds the BS antennas, the number of RIS elements utilised equals to the number of BS antennas. Extensive simulations validate the superiority of the proposed adaptive two-timescale method compared to traditional approaches, especially as the number of RIS elements and user equipment increases while the number of base stations decreases. This research provides a novel approach and paves a new path for achieving low pilot overhead in wireless communications by utilising dual timescales and leveraging Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS).

Here is an interesting special issue that some of my collaborators are organizing: "Emerging Technologies Regarding Spectrum Usage and System Design in a New Study Cycle". Basically if you're doing research on 5G-A/6G, some of the topics covered by this SI may interest you.

VIAVI Marconi Labs is delighted to share our latest work entitled "Rate-Splitting Multiple Access for Semantic-Aware Networks: An Age of Incorrect Information Perspective", which is now in Early Access in IEEE Wireless Communications Letters.   In this work, we investigate the design and use of Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA), Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA), and Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) to address the requirements of next generation wireless network prioritizing the information freshness. We use the metric Age-of-Incorrect Information to find optimal user scheduling, power allocation, and precoder designs for each framework and analyse the system performance to provide insights on the operation of next generation networks.   The paper can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eC2z-uZK   The work is supported in part by the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology under the Future Open Networks Research Challenge project TUDOR (Towards Ubiquitous 3D Open Resilient Network).   #6G #multipleaccess #semanticcommunications

🚀 Excited to announce our next MTTS DML Talk! 🚀 Join us on 26th June 2024 for a compelling session on the Universal Calculation Method for MIMO-WPT Power Transfer Efficiency by Prof. Qiaowei Yuan from Tohoku Institute of Technology, Japan. 🗓 Date: 26th June 2024   🕒 Time: 2:30 PM IST (GMT+ 5:30)   💻 Platform: Google MEET  Abstract of the Talk: The talk will present a universal approach for calculating the power transfer efficiency (PTE), maximum power transfer efficiency (MPTE), and conditions for achieving MPTE for arbitrary multiple input (or transmitters) multiple output (or receivers) wireless power transfer (MIMO-WPT) systems. The PTE, also known as the RF efficiency, between M transmitters and N receivers, is precisely formulated using the equivalent M+N port S-parameters circuit network as the Rayleigh quotient. Accordingly, the MPTE is achieved by calculating the eigenvalue of the generalized Rayleigh problem that has been formulated. The effectiveness and universality of the proposed method are demonstrated through highlighting the MPTEs of single transmitter single receiver (SISO) and multiple transmitters single receiver (MISO) among many applications. Several potential applications of the proposed approaches are introduced based on the MPTE performance of the MISO system. 📝 Hosted by: IEEE AP-MTT SBC IIT-KGP Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the advancements in MIMO-WPT systems with one of the leading experts in the field.

🚀 Latest Publication! 🚀 Our paper entitled "Exploiting Zero Forcing and Block Diagonalization Precoding for Multi-User MIMO ISAC: Bridging Communications and Sensing" has been published in IEEE Access! 📜 Abstract: This paper explores the potential of applying Zero Forcing (ZF) and Block Diagonalization (BD), two linear precoding techniques commonly utilized in communications, to a Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) setup. The parallels between communications and sensing are highlighted to show the feasibility of extending ZF and BD to ISAC. To enable the implementation of these techniques, the concept of sensing channel is exploited, enabling the treatment of the sensing receiver as an additional user. Furthermore, two user selection strategies extend existing communication-only algorithms to accommodate sensing requirements. The efficacy of the proposed techniques is substantiated through comprehensive simulations. With the proposed solution, a high beampattern gain is maintained for the sensing while keeping good communication performance, only limited by the power allocation between the two functionalities. This work was co-authored with Carlos Ravelo and David Martín-Sacristán. It is part of our ITN-5VC EU-funded project. Enjoy the reading here: https://lnkd.in/djuvWg6H Thank you to everyone who supported this research. We hope our findings will contribute to the advancement of ISAC technology, bridging the gap between communications and sensing. #Research #IEEEAccess #ISAC #MIMO #Communications #Sensing #Precoding #ZeroForcing #BlockDiagonalization #ITN5VC #Innovation
