ETIT-OVE High-Profile Lecture Series: The Future of Wireless

This edition of the High-Profile Lecture Series on June 11, 2025 deals with the topic "The Future of Wireless"

Wireless communications has become engrained into our daily lives mainly through the smartphone and all the various applications running on it. Consequently, most of the focus in research has been on increasing speed, and capacity of wireless connections optimized for video streaming and browsing-type interaction. Several research avenues, including novel cellular architectures, holographic surfaces, etc., will help in improving spectral efficiency over the state of the art. But this will not be the only change brought by future wireless systems:  over the past years we have also seen a accelerating trend of wireless being embedded in many other aspects of life, from smart homes to autonomous cars, to health monitoring; these pose new requirements on latency, reliability, etc.

Furthermore, wireless sensing will become an integral part of the wireless ecosystem. Yet another important trend is the convergence of communication, computing, and caching (including mobile edge computing and edge caching), which requires novel ways of cross-layer design. Finally, the incorporation of AI to optimize wireless systems, and the design of distributed AI that can operate within the limitations of wireless links, will constitute major research avenues. A discussion of potential stumbling stones on the road to these next-generation systems and how to counteract them will round off this talk.
