Speech Title: Key Technologies and Prototype Design for Integrated Sensing and Communications System

Abstract: In the future, millions of base stations (BSs) and billions of users (UEs) will natively build an integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) system, which can utilize intelligent ubiquitous methods to realize the ultimate goal of sensing, i.e., constructing the global mapping from real physical world to digital twin world, while providing communications services at the same time. For this purpose, we conduct a series of theoretical and technical researches on ISAC, in which we decompose the real physical world into static environment, dynamic targets, and various object materials. The ubiquitous static environment occupies the vast majority of the physical world, for which we design static environment reconstruction (SER) scheme to obtain the layout and point cloud information of static buildings. The dynamic targets floating in static environments create the spatiotemporal transition of the physical world, for which we design comprehensive dynamic target sensing (DTS) scheme to detect, estimate, track, image and recognize the dynamic targets in real-time. The object materials enrich the electromagnetic laws of the physical world, for which we develop object material recognition (OMR) scheme to estimate the electromagnetic coefficient of the objects. Finally, based on these theoretical researches, we build an ISAC hardware prototype platform working in millimeter wave frequency band, realizing high-precision SER, DTS, and basic OMR, which provides preliminary verification for building the digital twin for communications networks.

Speech Title: Machine Learning in Green Transportation – Some Case Studeis

Abstract: The transport decarbonization increases the coupling of the transport and energy systems, demanding a holistic and data-driven approach to manage and operate the systems with increased complexity. This talk presents several case studies in the application of machine learning techniques in holograph based state estimation and management of electric vehicles in complex urban traffic environments.
