Title: Distributed Quantum Processing in Wireless Access Networks

Date/Time/Venue: 18th Nov 2024 / 11:45 AM – 12:30 PM / Anand Swaroop Auditorium, Block 45

Abstract:This talk explores and suggests possibilities for quantum-inspired processing utilizing distributed shared network states to address dynamic problems involving mobile devices and access nodes in wireless networks. The state of a network can be described by a probabilistic quantum state vector such that quantum processing and distributed shared processing can be applied to such state vectors. Different co-ordination problems across access nodes and mobile devices are explored including support for multi-path or concurrent wireless connectivity. The possibilities for distributed decision-making with direct information forwarding between nodes are explored as well.

Title: SECURITY CHALLENGES IN AI-DRIVEN 6G NETWORKS

Date/Time/Venue: 19th Nov 2024 / 11:00 AM – 11:45 PM / Anand Swaroop Auditorium, Block 45

Abstract: The advent of 6G networks promises unprecedented advancements in connectivity, low latency, and massive machine-type communication, setting the stage for a future where artificial intelligence (AI) will play a pivotal role in network management, automation, and optimization. However, the integration of AI into 6G networks also introduces a wide range of security challenges that need to be addressed to ensure the safe and reliable operation of these next-generation networks. This talk will explore the evolving security landscape of AI-driven 6G networks, focusing on potential threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies. Key topics include the risks of AI-powered attacks, such as adversarial machine learning, data poisoning, and model inference attacks, as well as vulnerabilities in network slicing, edge computing, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are expected to proliferate in 6G environments. The seminar will also discuss the importance of trust, privacy, and security in AI-based decision-making processes.

Title: Non-orthogonal Multiple Acces: The Past and Current Incarnations

Date/Time/Venue: 19th Nov 2024 / 11:45 AM – 12:30 PM / Anand Swaroop Auditorium, Block 45

Abstract: In recent years, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has emerged as a buzz term and has been considered for 5G/6G mobile communcations. From theoretical point of view, derivations of the capacity regions of multi-user communications (e.g., multiple access channel and broadcast channel) never assumed that the user signals must occupy orthogonal resources. In fact, except a few special cases, most of the capacity achieving schemes have overlapping, i.e., non-orthognal, signals. Then what is new or special about NOMA? Is it just a re-invention? In this talk, we will try to address/clarify some of the hypes about NOMA. As it turns out, 5G and 6G are more about application scenarios. Thus NOMA and some other non-orthogonal schemes proposed in recent works can be considered clever applications of the old (or not so old) theories. We will also show that, in some particular application scenarios, the non-orthogonal problems have not been solved previously, but the new applications make the solving space smaller and the optimal solution achievable with low complexity.

Title:Securing 6G

Date/Time/Venue: 20th Nov 2024 / 11:00 AM – 11:45 PM / Anand Swaroop Auditorium, Block 45

Abstract:We are already knocking at the doors of 6G which is expected to penetrate deep in various parts of our life.  It is a known fact that security plays even important role in everything we do and especially so when it comes to a technology that connects everything. In this talk we will look at 6G and security considerations from technology to geopolitical aspects today.
