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.

In a recent collaborative study between Prof. Yaacoub and Prof. Alouini, the internet of things (IoT) connectivity in rural areas was investigated. Both fronthaul and backhaul issues were considered. Techniques based on free space optics with solar powered networked flying platforms were found to be a suitable networking solution for such kind of environments. More details about this work from this collaborative project can be found in the video and in the following publication: E. Yaacoub and M. -S. Alouini, " Efficient fronthaul and backhaul connectivity for IoT traffic in rural areas", IEEE
