On June 2, 2026, the DIP Workshop on Cognitive Cloud Communication takes place online. The workshop consists of invited talks.

Goal

Cloud communications has a small number of central processing units that perform the computation-intensive operations for the physical, data link, network, transport, and application layers. The cloud structure effectively converts the remaining network nodes, such as base stations, user equipment, and other devices, into relays that support each other through cooperation. The cell-free cloud architecture thus enables efficient, reliable, and secure communications at low cost by outsourcing signal and network processing, and the performance is not limited by inter-cell interference. 

The goals of this project are to provide a sound information- and communications-theoretic foundation for cognitive cloud communications networks. Beyond theory, a central element of the project is to develop promising practical algorithms of which the performance approaches the theoretical limits.
