in conjunction with
MobiCom 2023We are delighted to invite you to the 7th ACM Workshop on Millimeter-Wave Networks and Sensing Systems (mmNets) 2023. The workshop will be held in Madrid, Spain, on 6th Oct. 2023. mmNets 2023 is co-located with Mobicom 2023
The mmNets workshop is focused on the design and implementation of new algorithms, protocols and systems for communication, networking and systems in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) bands. The scope of the workshop ranges from new ultra-broadband networks, which can enable multi-Gbps and even Tbps throughput, ultra-low latency, and reliable wireless connectivity for beyond 5G and 6G cellular systems and wireless LANs, to new sensing systems with unprecedented resolution and innovative features enabled by the electromagnetic properties of radiation above 100 GHz. The workshop will bring together researchers from devices, communications and signal processing, wireless networking, and mobile and sensing applications to set the future research agenda of mmWave and THz systems, and present innovative ideas that will help realize the vision of extremely high data rate, ultra-low latency, and reliable mmWave networks and novel advanced sensing applications.

We solicit papers with original unpublished ideas in mmWave and THz networks and sensing systems. Also, we solicit submissions with novel results in experimental platforms, system measurements, and prototypes. Submissions will be judged by their technical merit through a peer-review process by the Technical Program Committee.

Prof Chong Han, University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University (UM-SJTU) Joint Institute, China Abstract: The THz band holds enormous potential for supporting unprecedented data rates and millimeter-level accurate sensing thanks to its ultra-broad bandwidth. Terahertz integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is viewed as a game-changing technology to realize connected intelligence in 6G and beyond systems. This talk will motivate THz ISAC and present state-of-the-art channel and communication solutions. Short-Bio: Chong Han received Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, USA in 2016. He is currently a John Wu & Jane Sun Endowed Associate Professor with University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University (UM-SJTU) Joint Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and director of the Terahertz Wireless Communications (TWC) Laboratory. Since 2021, he is also affiliated with Department of Electronic Engineering and and Cooperative Medianet Innovation Center (CMIC), Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He is a co-founder and vice-chair of IEEE ComSoc Special Interest Group (SIG) on Terahertz Communications, since 2021. He is the recipient of 2023 IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award, among other numerous awards. He is a (guest) editor with IEEE JSAC, IEEE JSTSP, IEEE Trans. Nanotechnology, IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology and etc. He is a TPC chair to organize multiple IEEE and ACM conferences and workshops, including GC’2023 SAC THz communications. His research interests include Terahertz and millimeter-wave communications. He is a senior member of IEEE. |

Dr Frank Schaich, Nokia Bell Labs, Germany Abstract: Both Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) and sub-THz for radio access are promising candidate technologies for 6G systems. While the former already has gained some momentum within 3GPP the latter still needs to prove its grounds. Both technologies promise to move 6G w.r.t. its capabilities far beyond 5G. In this talk I will give an overview for both technologies regarding those promises and where both academia and industry still needs to invest time and resources for driving them towards being efficient and practical. For both ISAC and sub-THz for access I will present our contributions to this both on concept level and related to proof-of-concepts. Short-Bio: FRANK SCHAICH received his Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Stuttgart. 2007 he joined Alcatel-Lucent’s wireless access physical layer group. Dr. Schaich served as work package leader for various European Union’s FP7 projects (PHYDYAS, ACCORDANCE). He has been active on developing solutions for the next generation of wireless cellular communication systems in the framework of 5GNOW and METIS. Dr. Schaich has coordinated FANTASTIC-5G and ONE5G in the EU framework of horizon 2020 targeting the definition of the air interface for 5G. Currently, he is leading the department Hardware Platforms and Research Testbeds in Stuttgart being a part of the Access & Devices Lab within Nokia Bell Labs. He is author of numerous publications and patent filings. |

Prof Guillermo Carpintero, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. Abstract: The higher losses and lower emitted power in the millimeter and Terahertz wave ranges make phase arrays a key development to access these bands for future mobile networks, unlocking beamforming and beam-steering functionalities. Even when the smaller wavelength at these frequencies reduces the size of the antennas and enables the integration of the phase array, the higher index of semiconductor material, the higher losses of transmission lines at these frequencies and the number of antennas required in the array for the needed boost in gain make it extremely challenging. In this talk we will analyze recent efforts to develop phase arrays in the millimeter-wave range, from both electronic and RF photonics approaches, aiming towards two-dimensional arrays. Short-Bio: Guillermo Carpintero is Professor of the Department of Electronic Technology at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and IEEE Senior Member. Received Telecom Engineering degree in 1993 and the Doctor degree in 1999. His research field is integrated microwave photonics, focusing on broadband wireless communications, pioneering the field with European FP7 iPHOS project. He currently coordinates the EC HORIZON TERA6G project, co-funded by the 6G SNS Joint Undertaking. He is currently revolutionizing high frequency interconnects through dielectric waveguide transitions, developed within the European EIC Pathfinder H2020 TERAmeasure project he coordinates. He currently coordinates the RF Photonics chapter of the international roadmap Integrated Photonic Systems (IPRS) and is an elected member of the Board of Stakeholders of the European technology platform Photonics21 (elections 2016 and 2020 ). |
