Dr. Trung Q. Duong delivered a speech titled "6G Space and Ground Integrated Network" at the 6G Communications and Sensing Research Center on July 26, 2023.

Future wireless networks beyond the fifth generation (5G) have been envisioned to increase many folds, in terms of key performance metrics such as latency, data rate, reliability, mobility, and user’s quality of experience. However, one of the biggest differences between the sixth generation (6G) and its predecessor is the ability to support high speed connectivity of mobile services for global coverage, especially focusing on under-connected areas (e.g., forests, oceans, deserts, and mountains). Integrated space-terrestrial networks (ISTNs) provide the best solution to unravel the unconnected issues of isolated areas not only on the ground but also in the air and on the sea. Despite this premise, the research in ISTNs is still in its infancy with many open problems, associated with long delay communications, large coverage for the massive number of devices, and highly demanding real-time services.

To alleviate these problems, this talk introduces optimal multi-beam design empowered by machine learning techniques for 6G ISTNs, with respect to the real-time constraints of mission-critical services. Potential research directions incorporating digital twin and quantum-inspired optimisation are presented to further support optimal multibeam design in 6G ISTNs.

This speech brought a lot of research inspiration to the audience, and it is hoped that the research center can establish a long-term research collaboration with Dr. Duong's research team in the future.
