B19 L3 H1

The role of Internet and Communication Technology (ICT) in bringing about a revolution in almost all aspects of human life needs no introduction. As the standardization of the fifth generation (5G) of wireless communication systems (WCSs) has been completed, 6G is expected to be the next focus in wireless communication and networking and aim to provide new superior communication services to meet the future hyper-connectivity demands in the 2030s. With this background, this Summit aims to go over the recently proposed solutions not only to connect the unconnected/under-connected but also to super-connect the connected.

Humanity finds itself on the cusp of yet another evolution in mobile telecommunications: sixth-generation wireless (6G). This progression in connectivity offers us a platform for smarter, faster, and more efficient communications. It also provides us with the implementation of a set of disparate technologies once considered pure science fiction. A collection of technology with the potential to transform the transmission of information and all spheres of human life such as economy, education and health to name a few. Contrary to widespread belief, many believe the next G-jump will not bea

6G vlc

Visible light communication (VLC) is a promising technology for 6th-generation (6G) networks because of its attractive feature such as a wide unlicensed spectrum. However, the modulation bandwidth of lens of commercially available light-emitting diode (LEDs), which are used in optical wireless data links, is limited. Therefore, in order to improve spectral-efficiency of VLC systems, a novel adaptive coded spatial modulation (SM) scheme with probabilistic shaping (PS) has been proposed. The authors also designed an algorithm to compute the capacity-achieving distribution of the proposed scheme
