报告主题：Deep Learning Empowered Fundamental Design for Intelligent Reflecting Surface-Assisted Wireless Communications（刘畅）
报告时间：2021年12月4日（周六）下午14:00—14:30
报告摘要：Recently, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have been proposed as a promising technology for the upcoming sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. Channel estimation (CE) is one of the main tasks in realizing IRS-assisted systems. However, the unique cascaded channel characteristics and large numbers of reflecting elements of IRSs bring problems of limited CE accuracy and large CE overhead, which makes the implementation of IRSs more challenging. In this talk, we will exploit a deep learning (DL) approach to rethink the fundamental design of IRSs, developing two novel DL-based frameworks, i.e., deep residual learning (DReL)-based channel estimation and location-aware predictive beamforming, to improve the practicability of IRSs. In the first framework, we model the CE as a denoising problem and adopt a DReL approach to further improve the CE accuracy. To reduce the CE overhead, we adopt a DL approach to implicitly learn the historical channel features and directly predict the IRS phase shifts for the next time slot to maximize the average achievable sum-rate of the IRS-assisted wireless system. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the performance gains brought by the developed learning-based methods and draw useful insights.

报告主题：SWIPT-based IoT Networks: Opportunities and Challenges（唐杰）
报告时间：2021年12月4日（周六）下午14:35—15:05
报告摘要：Establishing a sustainable Internet of Things (IoT) framework is of critical importance for emergency communication systems. However, sensor nodes, being the core of the IoT, are facing severe energy endurance challenge. Due to the high density and wide coverage of sensor nodes, the traditional energy supply methods may cause huge manpower and material resources. It is known that the radio frequency (RF) signals are the carriers of both information and energy, which makes it possible to combine wireless power transfer (WPT) and wireless information transmission (WIT) in wireless communication systems. Motivated by this, an advanced technology named simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has emerged recently, aiming to prolong the battery-life of devices by achieving the parallel transmission of information and energy. Considering the inherent characteristics and requirements of IoT-enabled emergency communication systems, this talk introduces SWIPT strategies from two levels, the algorithm and the system, in order to solve the theoretical problems of the energy efficiency restriction caused by the interference energy waste under power constraints conditions.

报告主题：Mobile Crowd Sensing Based on V2X Networks（王朝炜）
报告时间：2021年12月4日（周六）下午15:10—15:40
报告摘要：With the development of smart city, the primary goal is to solve problems that are closely related to people's life, such as traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Substantial urban environmental information is needed to provide data support for intelligent solutions. Therefore, collecting urban environmental information has become the basis of building a "smart city". To manage and control the development of city effectively, Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS) technology can help a lot. MCS based on V2X has the advantages of high mobility, flexible deployment, low operating cost and a wide range of applications. MCS can effectively collect, upload and process sensing data. However, how to make good use of urban vehicles to realize the effective coverage of smart cities is an urgent problem to be solved. In this talk, the presenter is going to introduce the key techniques such as coverage enhancement, task scheduling, energy efficiency promotion of MCS.

报告主题：Goal-Oriented Semantic Communications（杨照辉）
报告时间：2021年12月4日（周六）下午15:45—16:15
报告摘要：Future wireless communication requires high data rate and massive connection for emerging applications such as Internet of things (IoT). In particular, in human-computer interaction scenarios, humans may simultaneously control multiple IoT devices using speech command, thus making audio communication pervasive in a small-range wireless network. However, a spectrum resource-constrained network may not be able to support the broad and prolonged wireless audio communication. This, in turn, motivates the development of semantic communication technique that allows devices to only transmit small amounts of semantic information. Semantic communication aims at minimizing the difference between the meanings of the transmitted messages and that of the recovered messages, rather than the recovered symbols. Using semantic communication technique, one can reduce the communication overheads. In this talk, I will talk about the research about goal-oriented semantic communication, including audio semantic communication, semantic communication with distributed implementation, and a compute-then-transmit framework for semantic communication.
