DAIICT Lecture Series (DLS) Talk by Dr. Nishith Tripathi (Virginia Tech): Friday, 26th August, 2022 at 4:00 pm.

Title:

5G and 6G: Features and Research Opportunities

Abstract:

5G is a transformational technology. This seminar summarizes key features of 5G Release 15 including the New Radio (NR) air interface, NG-RAN, and 5G Core. Major features of Release 16 and 17 such as Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), sidelink communications, NR-Unlicensed, NR Positioning, and Non- Terrestrial Network (NTN) are introduced. Vision of 6G is also provided. The seminar gives examples of research areas during the discussions of various 5G and 6G features.

Title:

Multi-armed Bandits for Wireless Networks: Introduction, State-of-the-art Works and Potential Research Directions

Abstract:

Multi-armed bandits (MAB) are popular online machine learning algorithms widely used for real-time decision-making without the need for prior training. They have been widely used for online advertisement selection to increase the number of clicks, clinical trials to identify best drugs, news personalization, decision making in financial markets and resource selection in wireless networks, internet of things (IoT) and robotics. In this talk, we will focus on introduction to MAB algorithms and their applications in wireless networks. We will also discuss current state-of-the-art works from algorithms as well as architecture perspectives followed by potential research directions.

DAIICT Lecture Series (DLS) Talk by Prof. Vivek Bohra (IIIT-Delhi) on 22nd April, 2022 @ 5:30 pm.

Title:

Exploring Light Based Communication for Next Generation Vehicular, Indoor and Underwater Networks

Abstract:

Light based communication systems is a new communication paradigm which has been proposed recently to meet the capacity and safety requirements for next generation communication networks. In this talk, I will discuss the application of this paradigm in vehicular, indoor as well as underwater wireless scenarios. Specifically I will deliberate the pros and cons of applying light based communication architecture for V2X communication vis-à-vis conventional RF based DSRC framework. I will also share some of the preliminary analytical, simulation and measurement results obtained by our research group in this direction.
