Abstract: The next generation of wireless networks will no longer be confined to moving bits — they will sense, communicate, and learn simultaneously. This convergence is anticipated to enable distributed intelligence across devices, unlocking new capabilities for real-time perception and decision-making in dynamic environments. In this talk, two complementary advances in federated signal processing will be presented. First, an over-the-air federated edge learning (OTA-FEEL) framework with integrated radar sensing will be discussed. By leveraging echoes from the environment, rather than treating them solely as interference, robust model aggregation will be maintained while ensuring high-quality sensing and communication performance. A joint scheduling and beamforming design will be presented, supported by low-complexity optimization techniques, to preserve aggregation accuracy under realistic wireless conditions. Second, FedTrack, a novel federated learning–inspired algorithm for distributed target tracking, will be presented. By treating local log-likelihood functions as loss functions in a distributed optimization framework, FedTrack enables devices to collaboratively estimate a moving target’s position and velocity. This communication-efficient method closely approximates centralized maximum likelihood estimation, achieving accuracy near the Cramér–Rao bound while reducing reliance on a central coordinator. Together, these developments illustrate how federated intelligence over the air can transform 6G networks into systems that not only communicate but also sense and learn collaboratively. Implications for autonomous systems, smart cities, and beyond will be discussed, with emphasis on the central role of signal processing innovations in realizing this vision.

Future of communication and sensing network is being transformed with the advancement in next generations of wireless with Beyond-5G, beyond-WiFi-8, ICAS, NTN, VR/XR/Metaverse, Digital-Twin and other emerging applications. Higher quality of experiences for connected future with ubiquitous lowest latency and superhigh data rate connectivity services will require innovative wireless technologies and communication hardware combined with AI/ML. Mobile platform integrated RF systems with antenna front ends are common factor for most of the wireless applications. Emerging usage scenarios will need intelligent mobile platforms with ultra-small form-factor, requiring co-design and heterogeneous integration of dis-similar semiconductor device, circuit and antenna technologies, in order to satisfy the desired application-specific performance criteria for the evolving use cases. This presentation will present the emerging technology trends and will focus on the antenna-integrated RF to mm-wave/THz array integrated frontend opportunities and challenges demanding new technology, design, development and integration. Example architectures to enable multifunction microsystem platform will be discussed.

EXCOM Meeting for IEEE PES Seattle Officers Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/521448

IEEE WIE AG Schenectady is going to organize WIE Distinguished Lecture (virtual webinar) on "Human System Engineering Initiatives: From Human Views to Human Readiness Levels" on 5 June 2026, Friday, 12-1 pm EDT. The speaker is Holly A. H. Handley, PhD, PE, the Interim Dean of the Interdisciplinary Schools and a Professor in the Engineering Management and System Engineering Department of Old Dominion University (ODU). This talk discusses the role of Human System Engineering within the System Engineering discipline. It describes two initiatives that are enabling better integration of humans and systems. The Human Views comprise a system architecture viewpoint that provides a perspective on the human roles, activities, and information flows required by a complex system. The Human Readiness Levels assess the degree to which human-focused requirements are incorporated into design decisions and the readiness of a system to interact with its human operator. Together these two efforts encourage System Engineering for the total system by supporting a comprehensive integration of the human component into the systems engineering effort, which is critical to the design, development, and operation of successful systems. Current standards and applications of both initiatives will be included. Speaker(s): Holly Handley Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/550987
