Wireless Research for Smart City:
Needs, Challenges, and Design Tools
Abstract:-
Smart City has been a hot topic in recent years at different levels of the Information &
Communications Technology (ICT) ecosystem. For example, the IEEE Communications
Magazine (academia) is coming up with a special issue of Smart Cities next year. CSST from
China (industry) has established another new branch dedicated to Smart City technologies. Cisco
is helping South Korea (government) develop a Smart+Connected community. What do these
mean to the wireless research community? How can we capitalize on this Smart City evolution?
In this talk, we will discuss needs and challenges the Smart City movement brings to the wireless
research community. Three frameworks identified by CTTC-HK will be covered: (i) Smart Cells;
(ii) City I/O; (iii) Safe Wireless. Smart Cells covers evolving cellular networks while City I/O is
built upon machine-to-machine communications. Safe Wireless aims at emerging wireless
technologies that are health-friendly and secure. Research insights on selected topics will be
discussed.
Speaker’s Biography:-
Dr. Ernest S. Lo
Ernest S. Lo is the Founding Director and Chief Representative of CTTC-HK Limited, the Hong
Kong Branch of CTTC in Barcelona. He was a Croucher Postdoc Fellow at Stanford University,
and received his Ph.D., M.Phil., and B.Eng. (1st Hons) degrees from the Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology. He has contributed to the standardization of the IEEE 802.22 system
and holds a few pending and granted US and China patents. Some of them were transferred to
other companies.
Dr. Lo was a recipient of three Best Paper Awards at: IEEE ICC 2007, Glasgow, IEEE Globecom
2011, Houston, and IEEE WCNC 2012, Paris. His research interests include channel coding,
resource allocation, and wireless system and architectural design, all with a goal of finding new
resources and inventing new technologies for realizing a flexible, spectrally efficient, and
energy-efficient wireless multiuser network.
