Open Lecture 8 – Next Generation MIMO

Name: Open Lecture 8 – Next Generation MIMO
Start: 2024-06-20
End: 2024-06-20
Location: Virtual event

Following the success of the previous lectures, the Association is happy to confirm that Open Lecture 8 will take place on June 20, 2024, at 14h00 CEST, covering the subject of Next Generation MIMO.

In the development of mobile radio systems, there is a trend moving away from traditional cellular architectures towards distributed massive MIMO networks, also known as cell-free massive MIMO. By eliminating handover and cell-edge interference, cell-free massive MIMO enables network densification far beyond today’s capabilities. In addition, such distributed systems operate in the radiating near-field which provides better spatial diversity and enables beam focusing of the transmitted power to a specific point in space (“beam focusing”). This is complemented by reconfigurable and adaptive structures, e.g., Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), which offer unprecedented flexibility to adapt to changing environmental conditions and user requirements. With all these advantages, next-generation MIMO systems can deliver superior capacity and quality of service.

The one6G Open Lecture 8 will feature three top-class speakers who will present and discuss important results, new possibilities, and open questions regarding the standardization and commercialization of this new technology.

Join us on June 20, 2024 at 2 p.m. CEST to learn more!
