IoT Thrust Seminar | Fluid Antenna Systems Toward 6G Systems: Principles, Applications, and Research Directions
Fluid antenna systems (FAS) represent a groundbreaking and transformative technology poised to enhance the performance and flexibility of wireless communication systems. These systems are composed of software-controlled fluidic, conductive, or dielectric structures capable of dynamically modifying their shape and position to optimize gain, radiation patterns, operating frequencies, and other key characteristics. This presentation will address four fundamental questions: (1) The need for FAS in wireless communication, (2) The concept and operational principles of FAS, (3) The various applications of FAS, and (4) The challenges and potential future research directions associated with FAS. To thoroughly explore these topics, the presentation will present several promising research directions that highlight the significant potential of FAS in advancing next-generation wireless networks.
