For any additional information please contact: Wahab Almuhtadi Abstract Channel link-level and system level modeling played a critical role in proper design and deployment of all generations of wireless network systems. Particularly, system level modeling has become an important task for network planning, network design, and network optimization of wireless cellular systems. System level simulations allow to evaluate the performance of an entire network containing many Evolved Node B (eNodeB) sectors serving a lot of user equipment (UEs) in urban, suburban, and rural environments. Design and performance of new technology features require to be accurately verified and improved before deployment into commercial systems. Therefore, real-world system performance modeling and predictions should be very reliable and should be based on repeatable measurements of how the model behaves in the actual environment. Both the wireless industry and academia have made a significant effort developing and defining new and updated channel models such as the 3GPP 3D channel model and the extended 3GPP extended channel model for milli-meter wave. New 3D geodata models with high-resolution and artificial intelligent (AI) algorithms are greatly enhancing the RF propagation modeling in line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) beamformed signals and FD-MIMO antenna applications of 5G wireless network systems. In this talk, we will review some of the key 5G wideband wireless channel modeling including the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), NYU SIM, and others. We will discuss some of the general practical use cases of 5G network system modeling scenarios. Additionally, we will describe some of the practical challenges of channel and system modeling in 5G wireless systems.

ORGANIZED BY: IEEE Ottawa Joint Chapters of Consumer Technology Society, Communication Society and Broadcast Technology Society (IEEE OTTAWA CTSoc/ComSoc/ BTS) along with IEEE Ottawa Aerospace and Electronic Society Chapter (IEEE OTTAWA AES) and IEEE Ottawa Educational Activity Committee cordially invites you for the following North America Regional webinar sponsored by the IEEE Consumer Technology Society (NAR CTSoc). Abstract In this talk, a novel wireless infrastructure will be presented which includes a new aerial access & computing layer composed of HAPS (high altitude platform station) constellations positioned in stratosphere, 20 km above the ground, in addition to the legacy terrestrial layer and the emerging satellite layer. With its bird’s-eye and almost-line-of-sight view of an entire metropolitan area, a HAPS is more than a base station in the air; it is a new architecture paradigm with access, transport, and core network functionalities for integrated connectivity, computing, sensing, positioning, navigation, and surveillance, towards enabling a variety of use-cases in an agile, smart, and sustainable manner for smart cities and societies of the future. The talk will feature a number of enabling technologies for the envisioned architecture including RIS (reconfigurable intelligent surfaces) and advanced antennas.

Host: IEEE Toronto Joint Chapter of Communications Society, and Broadcast Technology Society (ComSoc/BTS). Co-Host: IEEE Ottawa Joint Chapter of Communications Society, Consumer Technology Society, and Broadcast Technology Society (ComSoc/CTSoc/BTS), IEEE Montreal Joint Chapter of Communications Society, and Information Theory Society (ComSOc/IT), IEEE Communication Society New York Chapter, and Ottawa Section Affinity Group (YP), and Southern Alberta Section Aff Group (YP) Abstract The spectrum above 100 GHz offers plentiful bandwidth for ultra-high-speed communication and high-resolution sensing, thereby providing a promising foundation for realizing unprecedented capabilities in next-generation wireless networks. In this talk, I will begin by presenting emerging transceiver architecture that can enable directional sub-THz steering without traditional multi-antenna arrays. I will discuss how to exploit the key characteristics of sub-THz signals and the proposed architecture for high-resolution localization. Such sensing modalities can then be exploited to enable highly directional, high data rate links that are robust to client and environmental mobility. I will address one of the main concerns with sub-THz networking which is high power consumption by introducing the first ultra-wideband retro-directive backscatter above 100 GHz. Finally, I will discuss new security paradigms in this regime: while the conventional wisdom suggests that physical layer security improves with narrow beams, I will explain new vulnerabilities introduced by the control plane as well as emerging low-cost smart reflecting surfaces. I will conclude the talk by illustrating fundamentally new techniques for wireless authentication and security.

Co-Host: IEEE Ottawa Joint Chapter of Communications Society, Consumer Technology Society, and Broadcast Technology Society (ComSoc/CTSoc/BTS), and other 41 Chapters Abstract With the phenomenal growth of excessive data traffic and the increasing number of connected devices, existing communications solutions are posing unprecedented challenges in terms of capacity, latency, heterogeneity, mobility, coverage, energy efficiency, and reliability. Given the demand for full connectivity, as part of the post 5G era, non-terrestrial and terrestrial networks integration will be a challenging mission that will necessitate redefining a multi-dimensional and fully orchestrated system in terms of sensing, communications, computing, and intelligence. In this talk, I will present non-conventional approaches to address the problems in a non-terrestrial and extreme environment, i.e., underwater. Intelligent and behavior-aware probabilistic solutions will be discussed, with the goal of achieving robust adaptation in terms of required Quality of Service and Quality of Experience to meet the demands in a variety of scenarios..
