Internet of Things (IoT) has become a driving force for sustainable growth and evolution of wireless communication networks. To support various IoT applications, a wireless communication network cannot be solely targeted at link performance such as data rate or latency; it must be equipped with other critical capabilities. First, the network architecture is flexible enough to support diverse networking scenarios of IoT, but its capacity must remain scalable. Second, wireless sensing capability must be built in to enhance networking performance, and more importantly to add sensing services required by IoT applications. Third, edge computing and the underlying machine learning algorithms are indispensable to fulfill networking intelligence and achieve smartness of IoT. However, there remain many challenges to incorporate such capabilities into a wireless network. This talk looks into such challenges, with a goal of delivering scalable and smart IoT. Recent research results that aim at addressing these challenges are also presented.
Dr. Xudong Wang received the PhD degree in electrical and computer engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2003. He is currently the John Wu and Jane Sun Chair Professor with the UM-SJTU Joint Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and is also an affiliate professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Washington. He was a senior research engineer, a senior network architect, and a R&D manager with several companies. He was the editor of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, and China Communications, and was also the guest editor for several international journals. He was the general chair of 2017 IEEE 5G Summit in Shanghai and a TPC co-chair of the 32nd International Conference on Information Networking. He was also the demo co-chair of the ACM International Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (ACM MOBIHOC 2006), a technical program co-chair of Wireless Internet Conference (WICON) 2007, and a general co-chair of WICON 2008. He was a voting member of IEEE 802.11 and 802.15 Standard Committees. In 2017, he was elected to IEEE Fellow. He received best paper awards from IEEE conferences and was recognized as the highly cited Chinese scholar by Elsevier in 2021 and 2022. His current research interests include wireless communication networks, joint communications and sensing, mobile edge computing, and distributed machine learning.
