Title 1：

Recent Advances in Wireless Technology Towards B5G/6G

Date and Time:

9:00-10:30,Dec 13th,2023

Abstract:

Over the past 40 years, mobile communication systems have evolved from 1G to 5G. Advances in wireless technology have greately contributed to this evolution. The first lecture concerns recent advances in wireless technology towards Beyond 5G (B5G)/6G. Due to the rapid growth of broadband data services, mmWave band is utilized for 5G systems. Unfortunately, however, its deployment is rather slow. Considering that the mmWave band is indispensable for radio access in B5G/6G, it is necessary to find a way to accelerate its utilization by changing the disadvantage of the mmWave short distance communication into an advantage. Ultra-densification of radio access not only greatly improves spectral efficiency, but also makes it possible to utilize the mmWave band. This lecture will introduce the concept of scalable and flexible cell-free/distributed multi-user MIMO.

Title 2：

Research Methodology: Techniques for writing review paper

Date and Time:

14:00-16:00,Dec 13th,2023

Abstract:

This topic provides guidelines and writing techniques for writing review research papers. The lecture content include: A research presentation will be given first. Then, through reading several sample research papers in class, the students will learn and understand of the essential writing skills and techniques for writing review research papers. Some basic rules for writing a literature review papers will be given and taught. At the end, the essential parameters to measure the research performance will be given.

Biography:

Fumiyuki Adachi (Life Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S. and Dr. Eng. degrees in electrical engineering from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, in 1973 and 1984, respectively. In April 1973, he joined the Electrical Communications Laboratories with Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT), Tokyo, Japan, and conducted research on digital cellular mobile communications.
