2022 Beyond 5G - Toward 6G Forum
The two-day Forum is held at Qualcomm Institute, Atkinson Hall, UC San Diego.
11/30/2022
The Center for Wireless Communications (CWC) at UC San Diego is holding its 10th annual Beyond 5G – Toward 6G Forum, November 30 and December 1, 2022.
The Forum will discuss innovations and challenges in a variety of areas, including circuits, sensing, communication, and networking, as well as the role big data and AI will play in the next generations of networks and devices. The Forum will also discuss how user experiences and new applications, like connected health, smart transportation, smart manufacturing and immersive multimedia, can inform and benefit from current 5G innovations and lead to future 6G advancements. As in our previous Forums, experts from different industry segments and government agencies, together with experts from academia, will participate as speakers and panelists.
Join us at Atkinson Hall, UC San Diego for the Forum and on Wednesday, 11/30, come see our new space for the Center for Wireless Communications at the new Franklin Antonio Hall for an Open House with dynamic student presentations!
