Novel paradigms such as end-to-end learning for pilotless transmissions and semantic communications add to the transformative potential of AI. Integrating neural network components into the signal processing pipeline of wireless transceivers poses research challenges, particularly in meeting the stringent, often sub-millisecond, inference latency required by RANs. As such, the full potential of AI-native RANs depends on three main factors: (a) the development of robust software tools, (b) the deployment of specialized hardware platforms for real-time AI acceleration, and (c) the design of fundamentally new transceiver <a href="http://algorithms.In" target="_blank" title="algorithms.In">algorithms.In this talk, we outline a path toward prototyping an AI-native RAN using the Sionna Research Kit—an open-source platform designed for development, training, and deployment of AI-native wireless communication systems. We present a 5G NR-compliant real-time neural receiver connected to commercial user equipment, demonstrating how research ideas can be rapidly transformed into over-the-air prototypes using open-source tools. To foster collaboration and accelerate progress in the field, all experiments and results will be made openly available, lowering the barrier to entry and enabling researchers worldwide to translate their ideas into real-world wireless communication <a href="http://systems.BIOGRAPHYDr" target="_blank" title="systems.BIOGRAPHYDr">systems.BIOGRAPHYDr. Sebastian Cammerer is a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA, working at the intersection of wireless communications and machine learning.

This talk will present emerging applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the nuclear energy sector, focusing on how Large Language Models (LLMs) and vision systems can enhance nuclear safety, data interpretation, and operational efficiency. Grounded in recent work involving CANDU systems and Canadian CSA standards, the presentation will explore how AI can be responsibly applied in highly regulated <a href="http://environments.In" target="_blank" title="environments.In">environments.In addition to technical advances, the talk will discuss how AI systems can be effectively regulated within the nuclear context, examining current governing standards and their applicability to intelligent technologies. It will also highlight ongoing developments in AI regulation, emphasizing how evolving frameworks can support innovation while maintaining the industry’s core commitment to nuclear <a href="http://safety.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="safety.Co-sponsored">safety.Co-sponsored by: IEEE Canadian Atlantic SectionSpeaker(s): Dr. Issam Hammad, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/514100

[]Join us for an insightful keynote by Professor Halim Yanikomeroglu, where he will explore how future wireless systems will extend far beyond traditional terrestrial infrastructure by tightly integrating non-terrestrial networks (NTN), including satellites and aerial platforms, to enable direct connectivity to devices, vehicles, sensors, and users anywhere on Earth. The talk will highlight emerging Direct-to-X (D2X) capabilities, multi-layer NTN architectures, and key 6G use cases. Prof. Yanikomeroglu will also discuss the major technical, regulatory, and commercial challenges, and outline how NTN will become a defining pillar of the 6G vision through the 2030s.Lunch will be <a href="http://provided.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="provided.Speaker(s):">provided.Speaker(s): Prof. Halim Yanikomeroglu, Room: RBCx Finance Quarter, Bldg: Hub350, 350 Legget Dr,, Kanata, Ontario, Canada, K2K 3N1
