IEEE ComSoc DLT tour: Nicola Marchetti
Oct. 18, 2024
Nicola Marchetti, associate professor in wireless communications at Trinity College Dublin, will speak at the Virginia Tech Research Center (VTRC) in Arlington as part of the IEEE ComSoc DLT tour.
His topic: More is different: Complex Systems and AI inspiring Future Autonomous Networks and Industry 5.0
The session will be held Oct. 18, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with a small social lunch to follow at VTRC (900 N. Glebe Road; second floor). The session will also be available on ZOOM for those unable to attend in person.
About the Topic
Future mobile networks are expected to be ultra-large-scale, highly dynamic, and complex, encompassing a massive number of heterogeneous devices.
However, current wireless network architecture is often fixed, with optimization tasks defined to cope with specific and identified challenges and services. Existing manual and predetermined optimization and configuration tasks won’t be appropriate for future networks.
Researchers want to upgrade and prepare systems by focusing on:
- Information representation and transfer.
- Robustness.
- Self-synchronization capabilities.
They’re studying how the Internet of Things is creating a cybernetic structure of awareness in physical processes and also discussing how industries will join Factories of the Future (Industry 5.0). Resolving these issues will include tools from mmWave, AI, and semantic communications.
