Dear All,

You are cordially invited to the 142nd seminar of Long Feng Science Forum Seminar Series. It will be delivered by Prof. Kaibin HUANG (The University of Hong Kong) at 4:00 pm on August 29 (Thursday). This seminar will discuss "The New Paradigm of Integrated Communication and Computing in the 6G Era".

Seminar Information

Time & Date: 4:00 - 5:00 PM on August 29 (Thursday), Beijing Time

Venue: Room 202, Teaching Complex D

Speaker: Prof. Kaibin HUANG, The University of Hong Kong

Host: Prof. Jie XU, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen & Dr. Guangxu ZHU, Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data

Abstract: 

6G will feature edge intelligence referring to ubiquitous deployment of AI algorithms at the network edge. To attain unprecedented end-to-end (E2E) performance, researchers embrace the new design approach of integrated communication-and-computing (iCC). While 5G allows coarse message exchange (e.g., performance requirements) between application and physical layers, the iCC approach in 6G features joint design and control of AI and communication algorithms under E2E objectives. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the iCC approach for 6G edge intelligence. The resultant computing-communication tradeoffs and system optimization will be discussed for several specific usage scenarios including federated learning, over-the-air computing, distributed sensing, edge inference, and AI model downloading.
