This work relies on high quality mea surement data for all frequency bands\, radio services and environments. T his presentation will describe the activities of Study Group 3\, the need for more measurement data\, particularly in millimetre bands and above\, a nd how these data are used in developing ITU-R Recommendations on propagat ion. The importance of reliable measurements will be addressed in the cont ext of international treaty-level allocations for new radiocommunication s ystems. The presentation will conclude with advice on how to submit measur ement data to ITU-R Study Group 3.\n\nCarol Wilson studied Electrical Engi neering at Virginia Tech\, specialising in radio propagation and attaining a Masters of Science degree. Since 1990 she has worked at CSIRO\, Austral ia’s leading research organisation\, on various radio system projects. I n 2007\, Carol joined the group developing the Australian component of the Square Kilometre Array radiotelescope\, providing technical expertise on prediction and management of interference.\n\nCarol is Chairman of Study G roup 3 on radiowave propagation within the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector. Carol has represented Australia at ITU W orld Radiocommunication Conferences which develop international agreements on the use of spectrum and is also active in ITU-R Study Group 7 on radio astronomy.\n\nSystem-Level Challenges in Building a 5G mmWave Channel Soun der\n\nKira Theuer\, National Instruments\n\nWhile individual components i n a mmWave channel sounding system are complex in their own rights - there is a whole additional set of challenges introduced when combining these d iscrete components into a larger system. This talk will address these syst em-level challenges: from the massive amount of data generated to the RF s ystem calibration and everything in between.\n\nKira Theuer currently mana ges external partnerships for NI’s R&D Long Term Innovation program. She is responsible for the company’s academic and corporate research partne rship strategy and for driving NI’s strategy for long term growth and te chnology innovation. Prior to joining NI’s R&D team\, Kira was a senior business development manager focusing on advanced wireless research. She w as responsible for pairing the wireless research community with a variety of tools and solutions in NI’s portfolio. Her work inspired adoption of NI’s 5G platform across the US and Canada and led to significant revenue growth within NI’s wireless product groupings.\n\nOn Communication Meas urements and Modeling for NextG\n\nNada Golmie\, NIST\n\n2021 marks signif icant milestones in next generation (NextG) communication standardization development\, infrastructure deployment and service use. In this talk we d iscuss key challenges in measurement science and modeling approaches for a dvanced communications going forward. We will review the main building blo cks for advanced wireless communications in terms of efficient spectrum us e\, higher frequency bands and the use machine learning. The spectrum scar city in today’s hyperconnected world is fueling further innovation in ho w to manage spectrum resources more dynamically and perhaps more efficient ly. The millimeter-wave and terahertz bands hold the promise of significan t bandwidth and speed due to large swaths of untapped spectrum. In additio n\, as massive data volumes are being collected\, analyzed\, and delivered \, communications systems have become too complex to develop\, manage\, an d operate. The insights that are “mined” from the data using Machine L earning (ML) techniques have become standard practice. In this talk\, we d iscuss state-of-the art and key challenges in NextG measurement and modeli ng techniques to expedite the development and pave the way for the next “G”.\nNada Golmie received her Ph.D. in computer science from the Univ ersity of Maryland at College Park. Since 1993\, she has been a research e ngineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. She is a NI ST Fellow and is currently the chief of the wireless networks division in the Communications Technology Laboratory. Her research in media access con trol and protocols for wireless networks led to over 100 technical papers presented at professional conferences\, journals\, and contributed to inte rnational standard organizations and industry led consortia. She is the au thor of “Coexistence in Wireless Networks: Challenges and System-level S olutions in the Unlicensed Bands\," published by Cambridge University Pres s (2006). She leads several projects related to the modeling and evaluatio n of future generation wireless systems and protocols and serves as a co-c hair for the Next5G Channel Model Alliance.\n\nVancouver\, British Columbi a\, Canada\, V6T 1Z4\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285082 LOCATION:Vancouver\, British Columbia\, Canada\, V6T 1Z4\, Virtual: https:/ /events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285082 ORGANIZER:dmichelson@ieee.org SEQUENCE:11 SUMMARY:NextG Millimeter-Wave Channel Measurements\, Models\, and Systems URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/285082 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This webinar will focus on the challenges that millimetre-wave channel measurements\, models\, and systems pose for& nbsp\;Regulators and Standards Organizations\, Equipment Vendors\, and Res earch Labs\, and the role that IEEE SA P2982 - <em>Recommended Practices f or Verification of Millimetre-Wave Channel Sounder</em>s - will play in ad dressing them.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>For more information\, please contact the IE EE SA P2982 Chair\, Prof. Dave Michelson\, at <a href="mailto:dmichelson@i eee.org">dmichelson@ieee.org</a>.</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>07:00 - Welcome and Introduction</p>\n<p>07:10 -&nbsp\;<strong>ITU-R Study Group 3 Interest in Channel Modelling &nbsp\;&nbsp\;<br /></strong>&nbsp\; &nbsp\ ; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; Carol Wilson\, ITU-R Study Group 3&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>07:25 - Discussion</p>\n<p>07:35 - <strong>System-Level Challenges in Building a 5G mmWave Channel Sounder<br /></strong><strong>& nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;</strong>Kir a Theuer\, National Instruments<strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p>07:50 - Di scussion</p>\n<p>08:00 - <strong>On Communication Measurements and Modelin g for NextG</strong><br />&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;Nada Golmie\, NIST</p>\n<p>08:15 - Discussion</p>\n<p>08:25 - Closing Remarks</p>\n<p>08:30 - End</p>\n<p>- - - -</p>\n<p><strong>ITU -R Study Group 3 Interest in Channel Modelling&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><em >Carol Wilson\, CSIRO</em></p>\n<p>Study Group 3 of the International Tele communication Union Radio Sector (ITU-R) develops radiowave propagation pr ediction methods to support international agreements on spectrum usage.
