SUMMARY:AI-Empowered Mobile Edge Computing Networks
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThis talk explores the emerging paradigm of AI-empowered mobile edge computing (MEC)\, where edge nodes jointly perform wireless communication\, computation\, and sensing close to users. By colocating learning with connectivity and sharing hardware and spectrum\, MEC cuts latency and energy while enabling advanced\, privacy-aware services at scale. We focus on three pillars and demonstrate how their structure can be leveraged at the edge: (1) machine learning on encrypted data\, showing how ciphertext-compatible training/inference and federated orchestration deliver useful models without exposing raw data; (2) an edge-native metaverse\, where rendering\, state sync\, and perception are partitioned across device-edge-cloud for millisecond responsiveness; and (3) ML for cyberattack detection\, protecting networks from emerging attacks in real-time. \nSpeaker\nProf. Hoang DIHN\nUniversity of Technology Sydney\, Australia \nSpeaker’s Biography\nProf. Hoang DIHN received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering\, Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore\, in 2016. He is currently an associate professor at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS)\, Australia. Over the last ten years\, he has significantly contributed to advanced wireless communications and networking systems. His excellent record evidences this with one patent filed by Apple Inc.\, five books\, eight book chapters\, more than 120 IEEE Q1 journals and 80+ flagship IEEE conference papers in communications and networking. Most of his journal papers have been published in top IEEE journals\, including IEEE JSAC\, IEEE TWC\, IEEE COMST\, and IEEE TMC. Furthermore\, his research papers have had a high impact\, evidenced by more than 20\,000 citations over the last ten years.  Since joining UTS in 2018\, he has received more than AUD 6 million in external funding and several precious awards\, including the Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award for his project “Intelligent Backscatter Communications for Green and Secure IoT Networks\,” IEEE TCSC Award for Excellence in Scalable Computing for Contributions on “Intelligent Mobile Edge Computing Systems” (Early Career Researcher)\, and IEEE TCI Rising Star Award for “Technical Contributions on the Internet.” Alternatively\, he is the lead author of two authored books\, “Ambient Backscatter Communication Networks\,” published by Cambridge University Press in 2020\, and “Deep Reinforcement Learning for Wireless Communications and Networking\,” published by IEEE-Wiley Publisher in 2022. He is currently an Editor of IEEE TMC\, IEEE TWC\, IEEE TCCN\, IEEE TVT\, and IEEE COMST. \nRead more Prof. Dihn’s biography: https://profiles.uts.edu.au/Hoang.Dinh \nOrganiser\nProf. Hongyang DU\nDepartment of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\,\nThe University of Hong Kong\n\nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:(Sub-)Terahertz Wireless Communications in 6G and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nFor decades\, the (sub-)terahertz (THz) frequency band (often defined as 300 GHz to 3 THz or broader\, 100 GHz – 10 THz) had been primarily explored in the context of radar\, imaging\, and spectroscopy\, where multi-gigahertz (GHz) and even THz-wide channels and the properties of terahertz photons offered attractive target accuracy\, resolution\, and classification capabilities. Meanwhile\, the exploitation of the terahertz band for wireless communication had originally been limited due to several reasons\, including (i) no immediate need for such high data rates available via terahertz bands and (ii) challenges in designing sufficiently high-power terahertz systems at reasonable cost and efficiency\, leading to what was often referred to as “the terahertz gap”. In theory\, the use of multi-GHz wide bands available in the THz spectrum also offers unprecedented opportunities for wireless links: up to Terabit-per-second data rate\, sub-millisecond latency\, and extreme secrecy of transmissions\, among others. Over the recent decade\, advances on many fronts have drastically changed the terahertz landscape. Some research contributions even claim that THz communications are an “essential enabler of 6G-grade connectivity”. However\, today\, there are many misconceptions related to THz communications and their possible role in 6G and beyond-6G networks. This short talk aims to clarify those misconceptions\, outline the real pressing challenges\, and\, finally\, discuss some latest R&D activities and results in the area. \nSpeaker\nProf. Vitaly PETROV\nKTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Stockholm\, Sweden \nSpeaker’s Biography\nVitaly PETROV is an Assistant Professor and Head of TERANET@KTH Research Lab\, Division of Communication Systems\, KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Sweden. Before joining KTH in 2024\, he was a Principal Research Scientist at Northeastern University\, Boston\, MA\, USA (2022-2024) and a Senior Standardisation Specialist and a 3GPP RAN1 delegate with Nokia Bell Labs and later Nokia Standards (2020-2022). Vitaly received his PhD degree in communications engineering from Tampere University\, Finland\, in 2020. His research interests include mobile near-field terahertz band communications and networking. \nOrganiser\nProf. Kaibin HUANG\nDepartment of Electrical and Electronic Engineering\,\nThe University of Hong Kong \nAll are welcome!
