Many of the envisioned 5G use-cases require challeng ing target values for one or more of the key QoS elements\, such as high r ate\, high reliability\, low latency\, and high energy efficiency\; we ref er to the presence of such demanding links as the super-connectivity.\n\nH owever\, the very fundamental principles of digital and wireless communica tions reveal that the provision of ubiquitous super-connectivity in the gl obal scale – i.e.\, beyond indoors\, dense downtown or campus-type areas – is infeasible with the legacy terrestrial network architecture as thi s would require prohibitively expensive gross over-provisioning. The probl em will only exacerbate with even more demanding 6G use-cases such as UAVs requiring connectivity (ex: delivery drones)\, thus the need for 3D super -connectivity.\n\nIn this talk\, we will present a 5-layer vertical archit ecture composed of fully integrated terrestrial and aerial layers for 6G n etworks of 2030s:\n\n- Terrestrial HetNets with macro-\, micro-\, and pico -BSs\n- Flying-BSs (aerial-/UAV-/drone-BSs)\; altitude: up to several 100 m\n- High Altitude Platforms (HAPs) (floating-BSs)\; altitude: ~20 km\n- V ery Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellites\; altitude: 200-1\,000 km\n- Geostat ionary Orbit (GEO) satellites\; altitude: 35\,786 km\n\nIn the absence of a clear technology roadmap for the 2030s\, the talk has\, to a certain ext ent\, an exploratory view point to stimulate further thinking and creativi ty. We are certainly at the dawn of a new era in wireless research and inn ovation\; the next twenty years will be very interesting.\n\nShort Biograp hy:\n\nHalim Yanikomeroglu is a Professor at Carleton University. His rese arch covers many aspects of communications technologies with emphasis on w ireless networks. He supervised 20 PhD students (all completed with theses ). He coauthored 360+ peer-reviewed research papers including 120+ in the IEEE journals\; these publications have received 11\,000+ citations. He is a Fellow of IEEE\, a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Communications S ociety\, and a Distinguished Speaker for the IEEE Vehicular Technology Soc iety. He has been one of the most frequent tutorial presenters in the lead ing international IEEE conferences (29 times). He has had extensive collab oration with industry which resulted in 25 granted patents (plus more than a dozen applied). During 2012-2016\, he led one of the largest academic-i ndustrial collaborative research projects on pre-standards 5G wireless\, s ponsored by the Ontario Government and the industry. He served as the Gene ral Chair and Technical Program Chair of several major international IEEE conferences.\n\nSpeaker(s): rRof.
