6G and its enabling technologies

Abstract: Future wireless networks are expected to be more than allowing people, mobile devices, and objects to communicate with each other. The sixth generation (6G) of mobile networks are envisioned to include high data rateย  applications and ultra-massive, connected things. This also includes bioย and nano-internet of things (IoT) tele-operated driving, unmanned mobility,ย  haptic communications, unmanned aerial vehicles, and many more. Givenย the size of nano-sensors, THz frequency is proposed to do various sensingย activities at this scale. However, it will be ideal to use the same radioย frequency for communications as well. Furthermore, THz is also proposedย as an enabler of extremely high data rate applications in 6Gย communications. The talk will be focused on Terahertz antenna designย and new technology, which is referred to as Reconfigurable Intelligentย Surfaces (RISs) which will be enabler for future 6G communication.
