Scope & Topics

This workshop will cover the following topics but not limited to

  • Collaborative Processing

With the cooperation of multiple devices, it is possible to effectively utilize transmitted and received signals between them. This optimization process results in a higher level of demodulation accuracy and better receiver error rates.

  • Access Control for Device-Centric Cooperation Technology

Exchanging signals among devices while reducing interference improves the performance of terminal collaborative systems. Access control methods in inter-terminal communications are also discussed.

  • Terminal Grouping for Device-Centric Cooperation Technology

In device-centric cooperation technology, the system throughput generally increases as the number of devices in each group grows. Algorithms for group formation by individual devices are discussed.

  • High-Capacity Data Transmission

Virtualized devices combining terahertz and millimeter waves for relay transmission enable high-capacity data transmission. The virtualized terminal consists of user equipment (UE), equivalent to a smartphone, and relay devices (RDs), corresponding to wearable devices.

  • Wireless Security in Device-Centric Cooperation Technology

Technologies to ensure group security in which information can be exchanged only within a group of legitimate user terminals are discussed. Such technologies prevent eavesdroppers from successfully extracting information from communication signals nor falsify data.

  • Device-Centric Cooperation Technology with Hardware Impairments

OFDM systems suffer from the problem of phase noise (PN). Channel estimation (CE) and equalization are important to mitigate this problem, and the time window averaging CE for complex time frequency interferometry (CTFI) pilot signal is available.

  • Device-Centric Cooperation for ISAC

Integrated sensing and communication introduce new capabilities into 6G systems. Through cooperation among multiple devices, the system can detects the objects and determines their positions. Accuracy depends on the processing and coordination algorithms across the multiple devices.
