KAUST M.S. Graduate Rudi Coppola, KAUST Research Scientist Dr. Sajid Ahmed, and KAUST Distinguished Professor Dr. Mohamed-Slim Alouini won first prize at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Radar Challenge 2021. Their work titled "Road Users Classification Based on Bi-Frame Micro-Doppler with 24-GHz FMCW Radar," presents a case study for a 24 Gigahertz (GHz) frequency modulated continuous wave radar module.
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has partnered with LEAP, a conference bringing the global technology community under one roof to tackle some of the globe’s biggest technology challenges.
The Marconi Society organized the second 6G Summit on Connected the Unconnected in partnership with KAUST. The summit was a three-day virtual event that brought together experts from technology and policy-making to discuss ideas that can accelerate the process of connecting the unconnected population to the internet.
Through the Connect2Recover initiative, the United Nations International Telecom Union (ITU) has organized the "Connect2Recover Research Competition" to identify promising research proposals that will accelerate digital inclusion during the COVID-19 recovery globally.
The 12th issue of the KAUST Discovery Magazine, focusing on the connectivity theme, has been issued on December 1, 2021.
In the context of sixth-generation (6G) networks, emergency management systems based on wireless communications are gaining interest. In an incoming magazine paper, CTL researchers discussed fundamentals and open problems of post-disaster communications with a special focus on the topological aspects.
Ericsson and King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) enter a research and development (R&D) partnership in Saudi Arabia for three years.
KAUST successfully hosted the 15th General Conference of The World Academy of Science (TWAS). During this conference a panel on "Digital inclusion: Challenges and opportunities for connecting the unconnected in the post-COVID era,” was organized and moderated on Thursday, Nov.4, 2021, by Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Dr.
The deployment of the 5th-generation cellular networks (5G) has triggered health concerns from the electric and magnetic fields (EMF) exposure. Such fear increases for networks that adopt higher frequency bands such as millimeter-waves.
The progressive telecommunications research of KAUST Ph.D. candidate Maurilio Matracia, supervised by postdoctoral fellow Mustafa Kishk and Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Mohamed-Slim Alouini, has been recently awarded the second-place prize at the IEEE SusTech 2021 student poster contest.
The second edition of the KAUST 6G Summit on "Connecting the Unconnected" was recently held online from Tuesday, September 28 to Thursday, September 30, 2021. As part of “The Decade of Digital Inclusion,” a semester-long master class from the Marconi Society, the summit covered the latest research and technological advancements in 6G global connectivity.
Movable airborne antennas receiving cellphone signals could reduce EMF exposure while offering higher data transmission speed and using less power.
This coming decade promises to be yet another revolutionary one in how we communicate. In a world that is only beginning to embrace 5G technology, several scientific institutions, governments, telecom companies, and phone manufacturers worldwide are beginning to research the development possibilities of its successor—6G technology.
