Title:

Integrated communication and sensing for distributed communication networks

Abstract:

With the advance of radio sensing in recent years, integrated communication and sensing is one of the key drivers of future communication systems. I will provide an overview on recent advances, open challenges and new research opportunities in integrated communication and sensing. The technology may allow a ubiquitous, connected sensing system. Application domains are diverse and range from vehicular domains over industrial and home/ personal to the monitoring of physiological signals for remote health applications. New advances towards Quantum RF sensing have been proposed as well as the integration into medical devices and the perception of sentiment, while holographic sensing techniques promise unprecedented imaging capabilities. But will such system indeed be anticipated, given its privacy, ethical and still also technical challenges?

Prof. Stephan Sigg from Aalto University

Stephan Sigg is a Professor at Aalto University in the Department of Information and Communications Engineering. With a background in the design, analysis and optimisation of algorithms for distributed and ubiquitous systems, he focuses on sensing systems for environmental perception and Usable (perception-based) Security. Especially, his work covers proactive computing, distributed adaptive beamforming, context-based secure key generation and device-free passive activity recognition. Stephan is an editor for the Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (IMWUT). He has served on the organizing and technical committees numerous prestigious conferences including IEEE PerCom, ACM Ubicomp, IEEE ICDCS.
