Wireless Communications has been an exciting area for research with an explosive growth in capability required for every new network generation.

Over the past decades wireless capacity has grown exponentially and in a 10-year timespan we typically need to provide 100x more capacity within roughly the same physical resources and for the same cost, which is a challenging problem.

In the past, a transition to small cells for capacity that complement macrocells for coverage, and self-configuration/optimization to deploy and operate these networks cost effectively, has been the most promising approach. However, with the emergence of new real-time applications, and as machines are becoming the main users of wireless networks, future networks will have to be designed differently.

This presentation will provide an overview of the evolution of wireless networks and explore future directions towards 6G and beyond to enable the next leap in performance. In addition, a selection of ongoing projects at Tyndall’s Wireless Communications Laboratory will be presented that address some of the fundamental open challenges in Wireless Communications and showcase a diverse set of applications.

We are delighted to have Prof. Holger Claussen present to us on “The Future of Wireless Communication”

Prof. Holger Claussen,

Head of the Wireless Communications Laboratory at Tyndall National Institute and Professor of Wireless Communications at UCC & TCD.

At Tyndall, Prof. Claussen is building up research teams in the area of RF, Access, Protocols, AI, and Quantum Systems to invent the future of Wireless Communication Networks. Previously he led the Wireless Communications Research Department of Nokia Bell Labs located in Ireland and the US until 2020.

He received the 2014 World Technology Award in the individual category Communications Technologies for innovative work of “the greatest likely long-term significance” for his contribution to Small Cells.

Holger received his Ph.D. degree in signal processing for digital communications from the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom in 2004.

He is author of the book “Small Cell Networks”, more than 140 journal and conference publications, 87 granted patent families, and 39 filed patent applications pending. He is Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the World Technology Network, and member of the IET.
