Global Radio Spectrum Usage For 6G

We are honored to host a special seminar featuring Dr. Theodore (Ted) Rappaport, a distinguished scholar formerly on the faculty at Virginia Tech and world-renowned for his pioneering contributions to wireless communications systems design.

Rappaport is the founding director of NYU WIRELESS, the world's first academic research center to combine engineering, computer science, and medicine. Earlier, he founded two of the world's largest academic wireless research centers: The Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG), now known as 6G@UT at the University of Texas at Austin in 2002, and the Mobile and Portable Radio Research Group (MPRG), now known as Wireless@ at Virginia Tech, in 1990.

Abstract
This presentation is based on three recent invited papers submitted to the flagship Nature Partner Journal (NPJ) of “Wireless Technology,”  authored by the presenter and other faculty and students at four universities. The results of these 3 landmark papers are summarized in this cutting edge talk, and reveal promising new frequency bands and use cases for 6G, as well as new results and examples of how to use the promising metric “Waste Figure” for energy efficiency in any source-to-sink communication system, and also provides new approaches to modeling and predicting wireless coverage using ray-tracing and digital twins for the coming 6G wireless era. The contents of this talk will have appeared or will soon appear in the NPJ Wireless Technology journal.
