Join us for the seventh session of the exciting webinar series on "New Frontiers in Signal Processing in 6G Wireless Networks", a collaboration between IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications Society chapters in Ottawa, and IEEE ComSoC Young Professionals. Register now and stay tuned for updates on upcoming speakers and topics! Speaker(s): Prof. Burak Kantarci Agenda: The move from 5G to 6G will transform wireless systems into intelligent and resilient communication networks. This presentation will highlight how machine learning and artificial intelligence can enhance the reliability, adaptability, and security of 6G communications. Recent advances in RF-level security, deep ensemble learning, and jamming detection will be discussed, showing how AI models can detect hidden patterns in the spectrum and protect mission-critical applications such as connected vehicles, smart cities, and industrial IoT. The talk will also cover emerging directions including generative models, federated learning, and multi-agent reinforcement learning, which support robust and distributed communication systems. By embedding intelligence at the network edge, 6G can evolve into context-aware, low-latency, and self-optimizing systems that are capable of learning, reasoning, and defending against threats in real time.
