Time 11:00 – 11:35 (JST)

Hiroyuki Morikawa
Professor, University of Tokyo

Title: How to Face “Digital” in Post COVID-19 Era



Abstract: “Digital” can be a catalyst for transforming industrial, business, and even social structures. The impact of “digital” on our society is like that of washing machines. The washing machine not only reduced domestic work, but also changed the idea of hygiene. People started to change their clothes every day, and the clothing market increased. The important thing is that almost all people did not understand the market expansion when washing machine appeared. Similar to washing machines, no one knows at this point how “digital” will change our society. In addition, a major change in social / worldview with COVID-19 will also accelerate digital social change. As the black death disease was said to lead to the invention of the Gutenberg printing press and the rise of English, COVID-19 will change our business structures with time. Companies in any industrial domain must position and face digital in their management strategies that create new value. Towards facing post COVID-19, perspectives such as "evolving technology", "getting to the ground", "diversity that leads to awareness", "spreading pies instead of competing for pies" are described to be important.

Abbas Jamalipour
PhD Fellow IEEE Fellow IEICE Fellow IEA
Professor of Ubiquitous Mobile Networking, The University of Sydney
President, IEEE Vehicular Technology Society

Title: Edge Computing and Aerial Connectivity for 6G Wireless Networks

Abstract: Research on the Sixth Generation Cellular Networks (6G) has already been started while the deployment of the new Fifth Generation Cellular Networks (5G) has only got started around the world. It would take some time before we get the full picture of credibility of 5G, but researchers already know that it would suffer from a range of shortcomings with the introduction of new applications and thus; the need for work on its successor 6G. What we know and expect at this time is that we still need to make users closer to the network edges, thus the inclusion of edge computing; and that we need more autonomous and intelligent techniques in the form of advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence. At the same time, we know that terrestrial network components will have fundamentally physical limitations in providing coverage and accessibility needed in future networks. That would bring the involvement of more of aerial support including drones and low earth orbit satellites. This talk will provide some visionary concepts of the future mobile networks that contemplate edge computing and aerial support using results from some existing intelligent techniques.

Shinya Tachimoto
Head of NTT Information Network Laboratory Group, NTT

Title: IOWN as a new network infrastructure



Abstract: As a result of lifestyle changes to remote-style and the development of AI, data traffic is increasing exponentially. As more people and different kinds of things get connected, the network need to be more flexible, tougher, and smarter. NTT has proposed IOWN (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) concept as a new communication infrastructure, and its future research and development vision. IOWN consists of the following three major technical fields, All Photonics Network, Digital Twin Computing, and Cognitive Foundation. Especially All Photonics Network, we aim to realize a network with low power consumption, high quality, large capacity and low latency by introducing photonics-based technologies. This talk will introduce IOWN concept and overview its network.

He joined NTT in 1990 working initially on the development of switching systems. He had a key role in next-generation network (NGN) system development in the 2000s. In the 2010s, he was responsible for developing mobile network service applications at NTT docomo for five years. He then returned to NTT Network Service Systems Laboratories and he was a head of R&D for network service systems such as NFV/SDN systems, operation and transport systems, and the public switched telephone network (PSTN) systems. He is currently a head of NTT Information Network Laboratory Group for network architecture, network service, optical & wireless technologies and energy technologies.

Title: KDDI's activities for 5G evolution and toward B5G/6G

Abstract: KDDI successfully launched 5G on 26th March, 2020 and has been trying to spread 5G to both consumers and enterprise customers. However, 5G has not been widely used in Japan due to COVID-19. This talk explains the latest situation on 5G and KDDI’s efforts to expand 5G. While much effort is made for the 5G evolution, we have to start studies on Beyond 5G or 6G toward year 2030.KDDI published a new company concept envisioning society in 2030 named “KDDI Accelerate 5.0” on 31st Aug. 2020. Outline of KDDI Accelerate 5.0 is also introduced in this talk. Finally, key technologies and activities in KDDI Research are presented toward 2030 aligned with KDDI Accelerate 5.0.

Abstract: The marriage of ever-more sophisticated signal processing and wireless communications has led to compelling ’tele-presence’ solutions - at the touch of a dialling key...
However, the ’quantum’ leaps both in digital signal processing theory and in its nano-scale based implementation is set to depart from classical physics obeying the well-understood laws revealed by science. We embark on a journey into the weird & wonderful world of quantum-physics, where the traveller has to obey the sometimes strange new rules of the quantum-world.
Hence we ask the judicious question: can the marriage of applied signal processing and communications extended beyond the classical world into the quantum world?

Biography: FREng, FIEEE, FIET, RS Wolfson Fellow, received his 5-year Master degree in electronics from the Technical University of Budapest in 1976, his doctorate in 1983 and his Doctor of Sciences (DSc) degree in 2004. During his career in telecommunications he has held various research and academic posts in Hungary, Germany and the UK. Since 1986 he has been with the School of ECS, University of Southampton, UK, where he holds the Chair in Telecommunications. His current research interests are featured at (http://www-mobile.ecs.soton.ac.uk).

Special Tutorial Session on Deep Learning in Wireless Communications

Abstract: It has been demonstrated recently that deep learning (DL) has great potentials to break the bottleneck of the conventional communication systems. In this talk, we present our recent work in DL in wireless communications, including physical layer processing and resource allocation. DL can improve the performance of each individual (traditional) block in a conventional communication system or jointly optimize the whole transmitter or receiver. Therefore, we can categorize the applications of DL in physical layer communications into with and without block processing structures. For DL based communication systems with block structures, we present joint channel estimation and signal detection based on a fully connected deep neural network, model-drive DL for signal detection. For those without block structures, we provide our recent endeavors in developing end-to-end learning communication systems with the help of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and generative adversarial net (GAN).
Judicious resource (spectrum, power, etc.) allocation can significantly improve efficiency of wireless networks. The traditional wisdom is to explicitly formulate resource allocation as an optimization problem and then exploit mathematical programming to solve it to a certain level of optimality. Deep learning represents a promising alternative due to its remarkable power to leverage data for problem solving and can help solve optimization problems for resource allocation or can be directly used for resource allocation. We will first present our research results in using deep learning to reduce the complexity of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP). We will then discuss how to use deep reinforcement learning directly for wireless resource allocation with application in vehicular networks.
