The novel HAPS vision which will be presented in this VDL\, on the other hand\, is mainly for urban areas towards the smart soc ieties of the future.\n\nBiography\n\nDr. Halim Yanikomeroglu is a Profess or at Carleton University\, Canada. He received his Ph.D. from the Univers ity of Toronto in 1998. He contributed to 4G/5G technologies and standards \; his research focus in recent years has been on 6G and non-terrestrial n etworks (NTN). His extensive collaboration with industry resulted in 38 gr anted patents. He supervised or hosted in his lab around 140 postgraduate researchers. He co-authored IEEE papers with faculty members in 80+ univer sities in 25 countries. He is a Fellow of IEEE\, Engineering Institute of Canada\, and Canadian Academy of Engineering\, and an IEEE Distinguished S peaker for Communications Society (ComSoc) and Vehicular Technology Societ y (VTS). He is currently chairing the IEEE WCNC (Wireless Communications a nd Networking Conference) Steering Committee\; he is also a member of the PIMRC Steering Committee and ComSoc Emerging Technologies Committee. He se rved as the General Chair of two VTCs and Technical Program Chair/Co-Chair of three WCNCs. He chaired ComSoc Technical Committee on Personal Communi cations. He received several awards for his research\, teaching\, and serv ice\, including IEEE ComSoc Fred W. Ellersick Prize (2021)\, IEEE VTS Stua rt Meyer Memorial Award (2020)\, and IEEE ComSoc Wireless Communications T echnical Committee Recognition Award (2018).\n\nAt time of event go to Web ex URL' https://ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieeemeetings/j.php?MTID=m5f1b042048 f5d1e113361fde46554f3a\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280101 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280101 ORGANIZER:pradeep@ieee.org SEQUENCE:12 SUMMARY:Oregon ComSoc: 6G/B6G HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station) Network s: An Evolution with a Revolutionary Impact URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280101 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 14pt\; color: #344 95e\;">In this VDL (Virtual Distinguished Lecture)\, a novel wireless netw ork architecture for the 2030s (6G) and beyond (B6G) will be presented wit h a new access layer composed of HAPS (High Altitude Platform Station) con stellations between the satellite and terrestrial networks.</span></p>\n<p ><span style="font-size: 14pt\; color: #34495e\;">With its bird&rsquo\;s-e ye view of an entire metropolitan area\, a HAPS has the potential of prese nting unprecedented opportunities for integrated communications\, computin g\, sensing\, positioning\, &hellip\;\, in line with the emerging 6G parad igm of integrated everything.</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 14pt\ ; color: #34495e\;">It is worth noting that the earlier HAPS discussions h ave been occurring almost exclusively in the context of remote and rural r egions which can arguably be served more efficiently by satellite networks .
