Launching 6G AI Services from Space

November 25, 2024


A team of researchers at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), led by Prof. Kaibin Huang, has formed a partnership with another team from the State Key Lab of Integrated Services Networks at Xidian University, led by its director Prof. Min Sheng. They aim to develop AI technologies for deployment in the 6G space-ground integrated networks to cover remote, underdeveloped regions. At the core of this project is a novel technology named Space-ground Fluid AI, which will be capable of coping with fast-changing satellite-network topology and limited capacities of space-ground links to realize reliable and ubiquitous AI services delivered to every corner of Earth. The research will leverage the on-orbit satellite, “Xidian No. 1”, and China’s first 10,000-satellite emulation platform developed by the Xidian team. The project will be supported by a grant from the highly competitive NSFC/RGC Collaborative Research Scheme (CRS).
