Title: Symbiotic Radio: Achieving Mutualism Spectrum Sharing using Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

Presenter: Professor Ying-Chang Liang, IEEE Fellow and Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Trans Cognitive Communications and Networking, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), China

Abstract: The heterogeneous wireless services and exponentially growing traffic call for novel spectrum- and energy efficient wireless communication technologies. In this talk, a new technique, called symbiotic radio (SR), is proposed to exploit the benefits of cognitive radio (CR) and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), leading to mutualism spectrum sharing and highly reliable backscattering communications. We provide a systematic view for SR which integrates passive radios with active communications, and address its applications in low-power IoT communications in 6G and beyond.

Biography: Ying-Chang Liang is a Professor at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), China, where he leads the Center for Intelligent Networking and Communications (CINC). He was a Professor in University of Sydney, Australia, and a Principal Scientist and Technical Advisor in the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Singapore. His research interest lies in the general area of cognitive radio, dynamic spectrum access, Internet-of-Things, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
Dr Liang was elected a Fellow of the IEEE for contributions to cognitive radio communications, and was also recognized by Thomson Reuters (Now Clarivate Analytics) as a Highly Cited Researcher since 2014. He received the Institute of Engineers Singapore (IES)’s Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award in 2007, and the IEEE Standards Association’s Outstanding Contribution Appreciation Award in 2011. He has also received numerous paper awards, with the recent ones including IEEE ICC Best Paper Awards in 2017 and 2019, IEEE ComSoc’s TAOS Best Paper Award in 2016, and IEEE Jack Neubauer Memorial Award in 2014.
Dr Liang is Founding Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications-Cognitive Radio Series, and Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking. He was the Chair of IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Cognitive Networks, and served as Guest/Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, and IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Network. He was also an Associate Editor-in-Chief of the World Scientific Journal on Random Matrices: Theory and Applications. Dr Liang was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society and the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, and served as TPC Chair and Executive Co-Chair of IEEE Globecom’17. He will serve as the general chair of IEEE 2018 International Conference on Communication Systems.
