Agenda: 6:00pm - 7:00pm Networking & Dinner 7:00pm - 7:10pm Welcome words from Jim Brisimitzis on behalf of 5G Open Inoovation Lab 7:10pm - 8:10pm Technical presentation by Prof. Lin Cai - University of Victoria 8:10pm - 9:00pm Networking & More The fusion of digital and real worlds in all dimensions will be the driving force for future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems. Ubiquitous in-time and on-time communication services between humans, machines, robots, and their virtual counterparts are essential, and they expand from the ground to air, space, underground, and deep sea. 6G systems are not only data pipelines but also large-scale distributed computing systems with integrated sensing, processing, storage, communication and computing capabilities. It is challenging to build ubiquitous and intelligent 6G systems, handling stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, providing a rich set of communication modes, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, in-cast, and group-cast, and supporting user-centric mobile applications. In this talk, we introduce a new protocol architecture, Self-Evolving and Transformative (SET) architecture that can provide a wide range of control functions, and be intelligently configured for different types of 6G applications and networking environments. Its design principles, potentials, and open issues are discussed. We also introduce a use case applying the architecture to develop a mobility-aware multi-path QUIC protocol for seamless handover in satellite networks.

Practical 5G use cases. When 5G was unveiled to the industry & public a few years ago, there were numerous advantages highlighted. Changing our life due to the amount of data that can be collected, processed, and analyzed. On the technical side it was promised to deliver higher data rates, less energy consumption, better latency and unified operation. It turned out some of those enhancements are contradicting with each other. After few years of deploying 5G in Canada, our speaker will share with us a bit on what actually worked and what has to wait a bit longer. This talk is unique and will be delivered by Telus CTO Dr. Ibrahim Gedeon. Thank you, Ibrahim, for your time and effort. Speaker(s): Ibrahim Gedeon Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/388889
