Seminar in Summer Semester 2023

Theme: Key Enablers for 6G Communication Networks

The fifth generation of mobile communication networks (5G) has already begun to be deployed around the globe since 2020, providing lower latency and higher data rates, and therefore, potentially unlocking machine-to-machine sensing and communication. However, the concepts in 5G do not fulfill the requirements of emerging applications regarding the combination of latency, throughput, reliability, flexibility, etc. Thus, research is currently focusing on the development of the next generation (6G), which is supposed to be market-ready by 2030.

In 6G, the vision is to provide a human-centered communication platform that connects physical, digital and human worlds, extending human capabilities; going even beyond what has been achieved today by expanding the capacity and speed and to enable new applications. Real-time digital twins and telepresence, autonomous networks and vehicles, personal body-area networks, enhanced sustainability and more precise control on medical equipment are a few exemplary use-cases among many.

In order to reach those milestones, the integration of six key technologies is considered and focused on:

• AI/ML-based networking systems
• New spectrum technologies such as terahertz spectrum and LiFi
• Network as a multi-sensor
• (Automated) network adaption
• Massive connectivity and sustainable communication
• Trust, security and privacy

In this seminar, the goal is to learn how to study, present and write scientific reports while getting a better understanding of the objectives, challenges, key enablers, and current state-of-the-art methods of next-gen communication networks.
