【讲座信息】

  互联网和通信技术(ICT)给当今人类生活的方方面面带来的变革已无需多言。众所周知，信息的迅速传播时刻改变着人类生活中诸如经济、教育、卫生等各个领域。在此背景下，第五代(5G)无线通信系统(WCSs)的标准化工作目前已经完成，而5G网络也已处于早期部署阶段，同时第六代(6G)无线通信系统的研究愿景与规划正在紧锣密鼓的启动当中。6G预计将成为无线通信和网络的下一个研究重点，旨在提供新的高级通信服务，以满足未来21世纪30年代的超连接需求。此外，城市化人口是前几代无线通信系统演进过程中的主要受益者，并且在最近通过的有望于2030年实现的联合国可持续发展目标的推动下，6G网络预计将给更多大众群体带来更好的ICT体验。实际上，世界上仍有近40亿人仍未体验到这些优势，这些人仍然处于“未连接或连接不足”的状态，他们正在经历着这样的“数字化代沟”，而这里创造“数字化代沟”这一术语正是为强调世界上的许多地方仍缺乏ICT基础设施的事实。在这种背景下，本次演讲旨在：1）绘制一个6G宏伟蓝图；2）为超5G时代研究提供指南；3）回顾近期提出的一些解决方案，以便能在覆盖区域提供高速连接，为遥远地区的发展提供服务并做出贡献。

The role of Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) in bringing about a revolution in almost all aspects of human life needs no introduction. It is indeed a well-known fact that the transmission of the information at a rapid pace has transformed all spheres of human life such as economy, education, and health to name a few. In this context, and as the standardization of the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication systems (WCSs) has been completed, and 5G networks are in their early stage of deployment, the research visioning and planning of the sixth generation (6G) of WCSs are being initiated. 6G is expected to be the next focus in wireless communication and networking and aim to provide new superior communication services to meet the future hyper-connectivity demands in the 2030s. In addition, keeping in mind that urbanized populations have been the major beneficiary of the advances offered by the previous generations of WCSs and motivated by the recently adopted united nations sustainability development goals intended to be achieved by the year 2030, 6G networks are anticipated to democratize the benefits of ICT. Indeed these advantages are still not experienced by almost 4 billion people in the world who are still “unconnected or under-connected” and who suffer as such from the “digital divide”, a term coined in order to emphasize the lack of ICT infrastructure in many parts of the world. Given this background, this talk aims to (i) provide an envisioned picture of 6G, (ii) serve as a research guideline in the beyond 5G era, and (iii) go over the recently proposed solutions to provide high-speed connectivity in under-covered areas to serve and contribute to the development of far-flung regions.
