Distinguished Lecturer Talk: Beyond the Horizon: Terahertz Communications Inclusion in 6G Networks By Prof. Nizar Zorba (Senior Member, IEEE)

High frequency millimetre wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) links meet the capacity requirements of next generation communication networks. However, mmWave/THz links suffer from susceptibility to weather conditions and require a line-of-sight (LoS) connection, which is the main hurdle in urban regions. The networked flying platforms (NFPs) provide a possibility of wireless LoS fronthaul link and thus, enable the implementation of mmWave/THz in commercial systems at a fast pace, and is expected to boom in the next <a href="http://years.In" target="_blank" title="years.In">years.In this talk we will start with a literature review on the chronological order for mmWave/THz communications, Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), UAVs and multihop technology with the objective to introduce the different technologies that will merge to solve the challenges faced by Terahertz communications. Along the whole talk, we will highlight the different technologies that enable the tackled scenario, together with the comparison to the different proposals from the literature/industry to deal with such scenario.

Robust and Resilient Cooperative Perception under V2X Communication Limitations
Room: 660, Bldg: ECS , University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8P5C2Abstract: Environmental perception is fundamental to safe and efficient autonomous driving. With Cooperative Perception (CP) enabled by V2X networks, connected vehicles can exchange perceptual information to see through blind zones and deal with long-tail scenarios. In this talk, we propose a robust, reliable, and resilient CP framework for connected autonomous driving under V2X Communication Limitations. First, for robustness to localization error and communication delay, a calibration-free two-stage CP paradigm is proposed using deep metric learning. This fusion method only requires image data and is adaptive to the transmission rate. Then, to guarantee high reliability, hard AoI constraints are considered in sensor scheduling of CP to guarantee the timeliness of perceptual information. The required channel resources are minimized in asynchronous status update settings. Next, to resiliently adapt to the dynamic traffic environment, we propose a learning-while-scheduling approach to trade off exploration and exploitation. An online sensor scheduling algorithm is designed based on restless MAB (Multi-Armed Bandit) theory to maximize the average CP gain with low scheduling overhead. Finally, a large-scale multi-view multi-modality dataset, called Dolphins, is presented to assist further researches and verification of CP <a href="http://systems.Room:" target="_blank" title="systems.Room:">systems.Room: 660, Bldg: ECS , University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8P5C2
