A mathematical model shows specialized reflective panels could be deployed on a large scale to enhance communication networks in urban areas.
The inaugural 6G Summit on "Connecting the Unconnected" took place on Tuesday, October 27, and featured a host of international researchers and experts in the areas of Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) and Wireless Communications System (WCS).
Humanity finds itself on the cusp of yet another evolution in mobile telecommunications: sixth-generation wireless (6G). This progression in connectivity offers us a platform for smarter, faster, and more efficient communications.
Sahar Ammar will join KAUST this fall as a M.S./Ph.D. candidate and member of the Networking Research Lab and Communication Theory Lab under the co-supervision of Professor Basem Shihada and Professor Mohamed-Slim Alouini. The multidisciplinary engineering graduate will join the University from Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS).
KAUST welcomed new master’s degree and Ph.D. students to the start of the academic year at the 10th academic Convocation ceremony on September 1, 2020.
Yingquan Li, 21, is an electrical engineering graduate who will join KAUST in the fall of 2020. He will join KAUST as a M.S./Ph.D. candidate in the KAUST Communication Theory Lab under the supervision of Professor Mohamed-Slim Alouini.
An initial reference from a supervisor spurred his interest in joining KAUST, which resulted in a visiting student opportunity at KAUST. During his internship, Li was amazed by the facilities and research standard found on campus. It was this combination of impressive factors that inspired him to continue his academic career at the University.
By the end of 2018, there were nearly 4 billion people without Internet connectivity in the world. Almost 75% of this unconnected population is located in 20 countries and is concentrated in rural, low-income, and low-literacy areas.
Wire-connected drones may complement or replace the fixed base stations of cellular communications networks.
We are happy to announce the launch of the new Journal Frontiers in Communications and Networks!
The journal is led by Prof. Mohamed-Slim Alouini and aims to cover all the critical branches of contemporary telecommunications. This ranges from the physical layer to the cross-layer and networking design, performance evaluation, and validation.
An old branch of mathematics finds a fertile new field of application.
Scuba divers could send sea life shots in real time using an aquatic internet service.
While 5G companies and opponents are competing over the deployment of the first 5G platforms, the next generation of wireless telecommunication technology is being concocted right now in laboratories all around the world.
Light can simultaneously transfer energy and data to underwater devices, but there’s a long way to go before these systems can be deployed.
