AI-Enabled Communication Networks
With the recent deployment of commercial 5G systems, the technology evolution is moving towards more autonomous, self-configuring, intelligent networks and devices to support the new forthcoming data- and process-hungry applications of the next generation of the communication system. AI is considered a good fit for complicated non-convex optimization problems that are lacking optimal analytical solutions, and computation-intensive problems that are too costly to solve in real-time. Research works have provided promising results in applying AI in different use cases, ranging from physical- to application-layers, from edge- to core network-services and applications. Taking also into consideration the advances in big data computing technology, AI applied to the wireless domain has the potential to reshape the design and deployment of wireless networks and enable the formation of a self-adaptive, more power-aware, smart, and resilient communication ecosystem. In the proposed panel, we will explore and discuss the potentials and challenges of leveraging AI for the next generation of communication networks.

Next-Generation Unlicensed Spectrum Technologies
Wi-Fi and cellular networks carry most of the wireless access traffic together and will continue to do so. So far, the cellular network is mainly for wide-area coverage and mobility, while Wi-Fi is mainly for indoor use thanks to its much lower deployment costs. This divide-and-conquer approach succeeds because the combination of licensed spectrum for cellular networks and unlicensed spectrum for Wi-Fi enables different models of spectrum use, different business models and different wireless infrastructure owners. However, the traditional boundaries that differentiated earlier generations of cellular and Wi-Fi are blurring, with 5G NR-U supporting specific enterprise requirements. This is not just about the number of connections, but also for the range of use cases that will grow and in directions beyond those we can envisage today. What will happen for the Next-Generation Unlicensed Spectrum Technologies? This session will gather experts actively participating in the field of unlicensed spectrum of Wi-Fi and cellular networks. New use cases of unlicensed spectrum technologies will be discussed, from traditional telecoms to emerging vertical applications. Topics in scope of this session will also include new technologies for Wi-Fi 7&8, 5G and beyond, such as innovative access schemes and co-existence schemes, as well as the regulation aspects regarding the introduction of unlicensed spectrum into cellular networks. The session will also explore the possible future deployment and business models of the two technologies, especially in the vertical industry scenarios, as well as the complementary/harmonization between the two technologies. We expect a lively exchange of views, since the relationship between the two unlicensed spectrum technologies is a bit diverse. It is hoped that new research and development activities will be stimulated by such discussions that will help define future technology evolution and business models.

6G Green Communications
With the increasing impact of climate change globally, many nations have announced carbon neutrality goals by mid 21st century. As a leading industrial sector and a key driven force for social and economic progression/transformation, the ICT industry shall be a key contributor for global carbon neutrality and sustainable growth. In 4G and 5G, there have been efforts in making communications system more energy efficient such as minimizing always-on signaling, enable power saving mode, etc. But still, with the exponential growth of data volume, increasing complexity of communication systems, emergence of new services, we see a steady increase in power consumption over generations. As the industry started working on designing the B5G and 6G communications systems, sustainability and energy efficiency need to be considered as one of the foremost goals in system design. This session will gather experts to discuss green communications for B5G/6G. The discussion intents to address two main questions: 1) how to make the communication system itself more energy efficient and sustainable; 2) how can communication system better help the society and other industrials for achieving the global carbon neutrality goal. The session will discuss gaps, challenges and new air interface and network features needed in B5G/6G system to address these two questions. We expect a lively exchange of views as green communication is a very challenging and very important topic. It is hoped that new research and development activities will be stimulated by such discussions.
6G Vision and Enablers
While the mobile industry is now focusing on the realization of what 5G technologies promised, we can see that initial consideration about the next generation of mobile communications, i.e., 6G, is already happening. Considering the general trend of introducing new services with higher requirements over different generations of communication systems, it would be natural to expect that 6G technologies need to be developed to envision more advanced services than 5G. Examples of such new services include truly immersive XR, mobile hologram, and digital replica. Initial investigation already suggests rough estimates of performance requirements for 6G such as 1 Tbps peak rate, 1 Gbps user-experienced data rate, and 0.1 ms air latency. Use of terahertz spectrum would naturally be considered to provide such high data rate. Novel approaches, e.g., reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, further advanced duplex technologies, use of AI/ML, would need to be considered to satisfy the expected performance requirements. In this proposed industry presentation session, industry experts will present their views on 6G vision and enablers.

Unlocking the Theoretical Limits of Communications and Computing
We are arriving at the end of an era that has guided the ICT for the last century. Quite remarkably, many of the remarkable engineering breakthroughs in Communication (the famous “G” era) and Computing (the famous “Moore’s” era) were based on quite old Basics. Indeed, the Nyquist Sampling theorem dates back to 1924, the Shannon’s Law to 1948 and the Von Neumann Architecture to 1946. Today, we are desperately lacking guidance for new engineering solutions as we have approached those limits and there is a need for the whole industry to take its share of responsibility by re-investing massively in the fundamentals to revive a new century of engineering progress. In this talk, we will re-discuss the assumptions made a century ago and provide a research roadmap showcasing the fundamental role of Mathematics and Physics to unlock the theoretical barriers.
