Registrations are open for Short-Term Course on Emerging Technologies for 6G Communications at NIT Rourkela on 17-21 July 2023. The last date of registration is 13 July.

About the Course

The evolution of cellular networks from the first generation (1G) through the fifth generation (5G) has witnessed a dramatic change in the types of connected devices and the offered services. 5G has paved the way for connecting the networks not only with the smartphones butal so with the entities like Internet-ofThings (IoT), vehicular networks, etc.

It is envisioned that the sixth generation (6G) networks will serve a wider range of smart terminals connecting everything, be it on ground, in air, and/or over the sea. The 6G is anticipated to have peak data rates at least 10 to 100 times larger and the latency 10 times lesser than the 5G.

The other targets include ubiquitous coverage, larger connectivity, extreme ultra-reliability, energy efficiency, etc. The rear several key enablers for 6G including the Terahertz and visible light spectra, unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV), energy harvesting, and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS).

It is important for students, researchers, and communication engineers to understand the fundamentals of these emerging wireless technologies to be employed in 6G and beyond 6G networks. Aim of the course is to provide an overview of 6G enabling technologies.

This course would cover fundamentals of wireless communications, channel modeling, IRS, Integrated space-aerial-terrestrial networks, underwater communication, advanced computational tools for performance analysis, machine learning for wireless communications, and energy harvesting.
