Keynote Title

All YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT Channel Measurements and Modeling

Abstract

Several fundamental and critical propagation challenges must be considered so that 6G may address the "AI super cycle" that is expected to create an unprecedented surge in network traffic demand, with 100 times more connected devices and up to 10 Tbps data rates enabling new services such as  integrated communications and sensing, non terrestrial networks, direct satellite to device,  high-resolution AR/VR, digital twins, real-time data from autonomous vehicle-to-X systems, drones, and robots as well as touch-based data requiring ultra-low latency. To address all these challenges new  and old spectrum opportunities must be leveraged efficiently and several propagation impairments  must be overcome as part of a cost effective solution. We will cover the most critical and fundamental propagation aspects with a special emphasis and novel integrated communications and sensing applications.
