Past Events

This year we focus on “AI/ML in the 6G Era.”  The event will probe the many ways that 6G systems will be different from all previous cellular systems, particularly in their extensive use of deep learning mechanisms. 

The Student Research Showcase is a chance for WNCG & 6G@UT Industrial Affiliate Program members to meet with WNCG faculty and students to discuss research findings, sponsored project results, and internship and job opportunities. The central event of the Showcase is a poster session featuring late-breaking research presented by WNCG's talented graduate students. Affiliate contacts should refer to their email for more details.

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Multiple access communication has been studied extensively in information theory and wireless communications for several decades. Simultaneously, sparse recovery problems including compressed sensing, group testing, neighbor discovery in wireless networks, and datastream computing have also been studied in depth within their respective research communities. Although connections between multiple access and sparse recovery were pointed out as early as the 1980s, these fields have emerged mostly independently.

12:00 noon to 1 PM    Sixth-generation (6G) cellular communication systems demand new and innovative means to ensure communications are dynamic, effective, and efficient.  Namely, broadband communication needs to be seamless as users migrate across multiple venues—vehicle, home, office, or wilderness, demanding high bandwidth offering for various communication scenarios. 

1:00PM - 2:00PM

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

6G@UT is delighted to announce that the first annual 6G@UT Forum will be held on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, at UT Austin. Hosted by 6G@UT and the Wireless Networking and Communications Group, this thought-provoking event will provide a unique and technical perspective on the approaching 6G era. Leading speakers and panelists will be announced soon on topics including: The Disruptive Role of Machine Learning in 6G Immersive 6G Applications Global 6G Coverage and the Sat-Com Renaissance Emerging Bottlenecks in ML for 6G Pervasive Sensing and Intelligence

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for the NextG Standard: Enabling and Experimentally Validating Secure and High-Bandwidth Links

One of the benefits for affiliate members of WNCG is early recruiting access to our 150+ graduate students. In a typical year, affiliate contacts are invited to the WNCG Open house, an in-person recruiting event here on campus in Austin. This year, due to travel restriction uncertainty during the tail of the pandemic, our WNCG Open House takes a different form. Affiliate contacts should check their email for a message from incoming WNCG director Todd Humphreys for instructions on accessing this year's recruiting material electronically.

It has been demonstrated recently that deep learning (DL) has great potentials to break the bottleneck of the conventional communication systems. In this talk, we present our recent work in DL in wireless communications, including physical layer processing and resource allocation.
