Speech Title: Millimeter Wave Signal Propagation in Indoor Environment and Underground Mine

Abstract: With a huge spectrum of 5–7 GHz allocated as an unlicensed band worldwide, the 60-GHz millimeter wave frequency range has become attractive for future indoor networking. Very high data rates can be reached (on the order of several Gbps) because of the large available spectrum. With low interference with neighboring networks due to the oxygen resonance around 60 GHz, it becomes feasible to control mining machinery and implement underground communications by using wireless sensors. Modelling 60 GHz millimeter wave signal propagation in indoor environment and underground mine is of vital importance for realizing the above goals. Most of published channel modeling studies in the 60 GHz still make efforts to evaluate the heuristic diffraction coefficients around corners for relaying the signal while denying surrounding deflecting obstacles (DOs) and considering them as noise sources. Few measurements of radio propagation in underground mines have been carried out for the MIMO-mmW systems, including the effect of miners’ activity. In this presentation, the importance of the presence of deflecting obstacles (DOs) for indoor wireless local area network (WLAN) applications in the 60 GHz band is evaluated, the propagation characteristics of a MIMO-mmW system within an underground mine environment is discussed, with the effect of miners’ activity being considered.

Speech Title: Multi-Function Multi-Beam Reflectarray Antenna for Sub-Terahertz Applications

Abstract: A single-layer-substrate dual-band multi-beam reflectarray antenna based on polarization selection technique for sub-terahertz (sub-THz) applications is proposed in this talk. The antenna element consists of two primary ring components (outer and inner) that are orthogonally nested to achieve dual-band characteristics. The outer component is a split ring structure aligned along the y-axis, designed to excite X-polarized radiation through a pair of arc-shaped phase shift lines extending from the sides of the ring. The inner component, located within the outer ring, comprises two small arc-shaped microstrip patches connected vertically by a straight-bar microstrip line, resulting in Y-polarized radiation. Furthermore, the digital coding metasurface together with the single- and multi- focus phase compensation techniques , enables the antenna array to achieve four-beam radiation and dual-beam scanning in the lower and upper frequency bands. Measured results show a very wide elevation angle of up to 104°and a high aperture efficiency of 49.2% at the lower frequency of 135 GHz. At the upper frequency of 170 GHz, a low scanning loss of 1.6 dB and a high aperture efficiency of 29% are realized. Additionally, high peak gains of 19.7 dBi and 26.3 dBi are obtained for the respective bands. Therefore, the proposed sub-THz reflectarray antenna presents itself as a promising candidate for future 6G point-to-multipoint communication systems, offering large capacity, wide coverage, and high-resolution scanning capabilities.

Speech Title: A Half-Bridge IGBT Drive & Protection Circuit for Inverter Power Supply

Abstract: The common IGBT drive and protection circuits are complex and expensive. Moreover, the circuit’s interfaces and the parameters are difficult to change. We designed a half-bridge IGBT drive and protection circuit with discrete components. It was easy to change the frequency, the duty cycle and the driving voltage and current of driving square wave signal which was then isolated into two outputs by using photoelectric coupler. The protection circuit was formed by using Hall sensor for direct detection of main circuit current with a minute amount of elements. Further, we build a high voltage power supply for DBD discharge whose output peak voltage can be changed continuously from 0 to 30 kV and frequency from 8 to 25 kHz with the output maximum power of 150 W.

Speech Title: UAV-assisted Microservice Mobile Edge Computing Architecture: Addressing Post-Disaster Emergency Medical Rescue

Abstract: In post-disaster emergency medical rescue operations, rapidly establishing an adaptive and flexible edge computing (EC) network, balancing data offloading with energy consumption, and ensuring the stable operation of the network have become urgent tasks. To address these challenges, we proposed a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted microservice mobile edge computing (MEC) architecture. The architecture can be rapidly deployed to provide temporary network coverage and EC services to disaster-stricken areas. A transformer-based resource management (TBRM) approach is utilized to optimize data offloading efficiency, and energy consumption, thereby maximizing the service time of the architecture. To ensure security and reliability, four microservices are designed to manage the full lifecycle of UAVs, utilizing dual digital signature certificates for identity authentication. Large-scale simulation experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of the architecture in complex rescue environments, offering robust technical support for post-disaster medical rescue operations.

Speech Title: Wi-Fi Signal Gesture Recognition Based on Multimodality

Abstract: With the development of technology, various gesture recognition devices and technologies have emerged to meet people's various needs. Traditional gesture recognition methods are relatively cumbersome and require wearing data gloves. At the same time, the technology based on computer vision needs to recognize that the target is always within sight. Therefore, we proposes a gesture recognition method based on multimodal Wi-Fi signals, and optimizes the gesture recognition methods from devices and technologies to overcome the problems in traditional recognition methods. Specifically, we first built a Wi-Fi signal data acquisition platform based on the Atheros network card, and the packet loss rate is less than 0.1%. Then, frame extraction is carried out for the video signal, and the T3D network based on DenseNet is used for video recognition. The video recognition rate reaches 95.0%. Finally, the above video data is extended to Wi-Fi signal, gesture recognition is performed jointly with CNN and GRU. The tests show that the gesture recognition rate of proposed scheme is 88.2%.

Speech Title: Energy-Efficient Transmission Techniques for 6G Mobile Communications

Abstract: Energy efficiency (EE) is a crucial KPI of future 6G mobile communications. At this point, this presentation will explore two enablers that are promising to improve the EE, i.e., low-resolution quantization and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). Specifically, in the context of cell-free massive MIMO, a promising technology for 6G, we show how low-resolution quantization and RIS can improve system EE. Moreover, by involving the two enablers, we introduce some challenges to be investigated, such as performance analysis, channel estimation, and RIS’s configuration.

Speech Title: Trustworthy Image Semantic Communication with GenAI: Explainablity, Controllability, and Efficiency

Abstract: Image semantic communication (ISC) has garnered significant attention for its potential to achieve high efficiency in visual content transmission. However, existing ISC systems based on joint source-channel coding face challenges in interpretability, operability, and compatibility. To address these limitations, we propose a novel trustworthy ISC framework. This approach leverages text extraction and segmentation mapping techniques to convert images into explainable semantics, while employing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for multiple downstream inference tasks. We also introduce a multi-rate ISC transmission protocol that dynamically adapts to both the received explainable semantic content and specific task requirements at the receiver. Simulation results based on a real-world demo demonstrate that our framework achieves explainable learning, decoupled training, and compatible transmission in various application scenarios. Finally, some intriguing research directions and application scenarios are identified.
