2022 European Future of Wireless
Technology Workshop

The Future of Wireless Workshop is the forum where Huawei and leaders of the international academic research community meet to discuss the wireless network & technology evolution, to find a common understanding on where the industry should be heading, and to explore areas for future collaboration. This year we will arrange a series of two half-day online events targeting different themes.

2022 Themes

1st of June 2022

Future 5.5G/6G Wireless Systems are expected to support massive amount of real-time traffic data at high-speed and to provide global connectivity, even in unreachable by terrestrial networks (NT) areas. Towards this direction, the integration of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), such as GEO/MEO/LEO satellites and HAPS/LAPS, into TN will enhance 5G+ capabilities enabling the ubiquitous and global coverage feature. Standardization bodies have been investigating new solutions to extend 5G NR for the smooth NTNs integration, however more work is required to ensure that NTN systems will be an intrinsic part of the 5G+ ecosystem, providing competitive enhancements.

In this Workshop we would like to discuss potential solutions to the inherent ΝΤΝ and 5G-NTN integration challenges, such as multi-layer system design, signal processing and resource management algorithm development, as well as antenna and RF design challenges. The invited speakers will be presenting their ideas of the future technologies or solutions, Huawei speakers will share our view on present challenges, technologies and industry trends. All participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in the discussions during Q&A sessions.

The power of the Future of Wireless Technology workshop is that it offers an arena where experts of the academia and experts from the industry are able to meet, connect and discuss the technologies of the future. Together we shape the future, together we drive the evolution of the mobile communication industry.

Event #2 – Explainable AI in Wireless Communications

6th of September 2022

As 5G is being implemented and 6G is just in the conceptualization stage, it is clear that AI will be essential to manage the ever-growing complexity of the network. However, AI models will not only be required to deliver high level of performance, but also high level of explainability. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is expected to play a key role in the design phase of next generation cellular networks.

In this Workshop we would like to discuss potential challenges such as, (1) how can we explain the outcome of a complex ML model (e.g. deep NN) and understand its behavior in the different scenarios? (2) how to use XAI in order to achieve trust in AI wireless resource orchestration? (3) how can we adapt ML models using explanations and (4) how explanations and causes can be extracted from complex and often opaque decision-making models?
The invited speakers will be presenting their ideas of the future technologies or solutions, Huawei speakers will share our view on present challenges, technologies and industry trends. All participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in the discussions during Panel session.
