There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
Millimeter-Wave (mm-Wave) links will serve as the enabling technology for a plethora of commercial and defense applications for next-generation (5G/6G beyond) networks. To support future mm-Wave wireless systems, the next-generation system necessitates extreme mobile broadband data throughput, energy-efficient massive machine-type communication, and ultra-reliable low-latency network. This defense focuses on innovative system architectures that combine mathematical, physical and IC engineering approaches to overcome many inherent challenges for future communications and achieve state-of-the-art performance for emerging wideband and low-latency applications. They can potentially revolutionize next-generation mm-Wave communication, sensing, and optical-fiber wireless network for 5G, as well as future 6G beyond. The autonomous beamforming and low-latency aspects of this defense will be also an enabling technology for the ‘Tactile Internet’ that can remotely access, perceive, manipulate, or control real or virtual objects in real time. In this defense summary, several system solutions are proposed to address multiple major challenges in the next-generation communication.
