Charlas Prof. Johann Marquez (IMEC/U. Antwerp)

La próxima semana tenemos como prof. invitado en el departamento (programas Erasmus+) a Johann Marquez Barja, profesor catedrático de la Universidad de Amberes, Bélgica, e investigador del prestigioso centro de investigación IMEC.

Durante su visita, el Profesor Marquez dará dos charlas a la que estamos todos invitados:

Understanding the impact of software-defined technologies in 6G networks: Next Generation Zero Touch Management

Ponente: Prof. Johann Marquez (IMEC/U. Antwerp)

Fecha: Martes 9 de abril a las 11:00

Lugar: Seminario 3

Resumen:

The next generation of mobile communications, 6G, is being defined. There are still uncertainties regarding the adoption and development of some technologies that will be part of 6G, for instance radio technologies, debating  on the use of THz or Sub-THz, of for instance the network architecture considering multi-technology access, the so-called network-of-networks. However, there are some certainties agreed among the 6G community such as the use of AI in natively manner in the communication chain and the use use of softwarization techniques to be able to provide programmability and flexibility to the 6G generation.  In this talk we will review current trends and future trends of Software-Defined Technologies as enablers for advanced orchestration and management of 6G networks.

Making Vessel and Vehicle Teleoperation a  Reality in Cross-border scenarios: Lessons learnt of the 5G Blueprint project

Ponente: Prof. Johann Marquez (IMEC/U. Antwerp)

Fecha: Miércoles 10 de abril a las 11:00

Lugar: Seminario 3

Resumen: 

The 5G blueprint project is a strategic initiative aimed at developing and implementing a comprehensive plan for the deployment and adoption of 5G technology. The initiative  involves collaboration between government agencies, telecommunications companies, technology vendors, and other stakeholders to create a roadmap for 5G infrastructure deployment, spectrum allocation, regulatory frameworks, and use case development. 

Key components of the 5G blueprint cover in the talk:

  • Infrastructure Deployment: Planning and implementing the necessary infrastructure, including small cells, towers, and fiber optic networks, to support 5G connectivity.
  • Spectrum Allocation: Allocating and managing radio frequency spectrum for 5G networks, ensuring efficient use and minimizing interference.
  • Use Case Development: Identifying and promoting various use cases for 5G technology across different sectors, such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and smart cities.

Overall, the 5G blueprint project has contributed to accelerating the deployment of 5G networks, drive innovation, and unlock economic growth and societal benefits enabled by high-speed, low-latency connectivity.
