    Speaker: Petar Popovski , Wireless Connectivity Beyond 5G: A Take on Spectrum, Time, Space, and Blockchains

    Talk Title: Wireless Connectivity Beyond 5G: A Take on Spectrum, Time, Space, and Blockchains

    Series: Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and Internet of Things

    Abstract: Perhaps the main innovation in 5G wireless systems has been the platform approach to connectivity: using a single system that can flexibly support connections with very diverse requirements, such as massive Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity, enhanced broadband and connections with high reliability and low latency. This talk will provide a perspective on the evolution of the connectivity space, with an emphasis on the IoT. Specific aspects that will be covered are interaction among different traffic types and spectrum usage. The talk will also discuss the evolution of timing requirements as well as the emergence of new technologies for spatial processing of wireless signals. Finally, the talk will provide perspective on the long-term traffic changes in IoT connectivity, as the systems move towards autonomous distributed transactions among humans and machines.
