講演概要: In this talk, we will present some recent results on the reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) wireless network empowered by AI, in particular a deep-learning-based hybrid beamforming for RIS-empowered multi-hop teraherz communications, AI-assisted MAC, and intelligent spectrum learning with RIS. Such AI-based solution is particular of important when the network involves multiple users, as the signals impinging upon an RIS can be contaminated by interfering signals which are usually dynamic and unknown. To address this issue, ‘learning’ the properties of the surrounding spectral environment is a promising solution. Motivated by the convergence of artificial intelligence and spectrum sensing, we termed here as spectrum learning, where the RIS controller becomes capable of intelligently ‘think-and-decide’ whether to reflect or not the incident signals.

講演タイトル:
Recent Results in Advanced Wireless
Cooperative Communications
講演概要:
Network Information Theory is an extension
of Shannon’s Information Theory to Networks.
We have thought that the key to the successful development of new mobile
wireless communications system concept should be to utilize the latest results
of Network Information Theory in the most suitable forms, which satisfy network
objectives and requirements in efficient way.
Also, identifying the theoretical performance limit is of most crucial
importance. Under such significant and ambitious goals and objectives, he has
worked for almost 40 years including experiences in the industry (NTT/NTT
DoCoMo), Center for Wireless Communications (University of Oulu, Finland), and
JAIST. Recently, he has been intensively
researching how Lossy Distributed Multi-terminal Source Coding Theory, with the
aim of how the theoretical framework should be modified so that it can be
best-suited to mobile wireless cooperative communications systems having
massive wireless devices. He also has
considered how Network Information Theory should be understood in the design of
wireless mesh networks, relay communications, sensor networks, Internet-of-Things
(IoT) and Vehicle-to-Things (V2X) networks.
His challenge has included theoretical limit analysis, algorithm design,
and verification by simulations.
The reason for the pursuance towards the
goals described above is that in IoT, V2X, and Edge computing, the lossless
recovery of information observed by the sensing devices should not necessarily
be End-to-End Lossless. In other words,
the purpose of IoT network is NOT the full recovery of observations, but to
make correct decisions based on the observations made by massive sensing
devices which are assumed to be distributed around the target, and hence the
corrected information is correlated. By
utilizing the source correlation knowledge at the receiver, Ultra Reliable Low
Latency Communication (URLLC) is possible, even though packet-wise transmission
is lossy.
In the Seminar, also the recent results of
his research group are introduced, which covers performance analysis of
Lossless/Lossy Multi-source transmission over fading Multiple Access Channels,
such as Wyner Ziv systems over fading MAC.
At the final stage, his future view of the
research trends, one of which, he thinks, is towards creation of the
theoretical framework for Distributed Hypothesis Testing, will be briefly
introduced.
