Particularly\, system level modeling has become an important task for network planning\, network design\, and network optimization of wireless c ellular systems. System level simulations allow to evaluate the performanc e of an entire network containing many Evolved Node B (eNodeB) sectors ser ving a lot of user equipment (UEs) in urban\, suburban\, and rural environ ments. Design and performance of new technology features require to be acc urately verified and improved before deployment into commercial systems. T herefore\, real-world system performance modeling and predictions should b e very reliable and should be based on repeatable measurements of how the model behaves in the actual environment. Both the wireless industry and ac ademia have made a significant effort developing and defining new and upda ted channel models such as the 3GPP 3D channel model and the extended 3GPP extended channel model for milli-meter wave. New 3D geodata models with h igh-resolution and artificial intelligent (AI) algorithms are greatly enha ncing the RF propagation modeling in line of sight (LOS) and non-line of s ight (NLOS) beamformed signals and FD-MIMO antenna applications of 5G wire less network systems. In this talk\, we will review some of the key 5G wid eband wireless channel modeling including the 3rd Generation Partnership P roject (3GPP)\, NYU SIM\, and others. We will discuss some of the general practical use cases of 5G network system modeling scenarios. Additionally\ , we will describe some of the practical challenges of channel and system modeling in 5G wireless systems.\n\nSpeaker’s Bio\n\nKafi Hassan is work s in the Advanced and Emerging Technology team at T-Mobile USA in Reston\, Virginia. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at George Mason University in Fairfax\, Virginia wh ere he has been teaching graduate and undergraduate level courses since 20 07. From 1995 to 2006\, Hassan worked as a Member of Technical Staff at Be ll Laboratories in Whippany\, New Jersey\, performing research and develop ment in network wireless communication systems. He has been a recipient of many professional honors and recognitions\, including the Bell Labs Presi dent’s Gold Award\, the Bell Labs President’s Silver Award\, and Sprin t Network Development and Engineering Leadership award. His education back ground includes a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York\, New York City\, and BS and MS degrees majoring in electrical engineering from University of North Carol ina at Charlotte\, North Carolina.\n\nCo-sponsored by: ComSoc\n\nSpeaker(s ): Kafi Hassan\, Ph.D.\, \n\nRoom: : Ciena-Optophotonics Lab (Room T129)\, Bldg: T-Building\, 1385 Woodroffe Avenue\, Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada\, K2 G 1V8 LOCATION:Room: : Ciena-Optophotonics Lab (Room T129)\, Bldg: T-Building\, 1 385 Woodroffe Avenue\, Ottawa\, Ontario\, Canada\, K2G 1V8 ORGANIZER:almuhtadi@ieee.org SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Practical 5G channel and system modeling techniques URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/326133 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The <strong>IEEE Ottawa Joint Chapter of C ommunications Society\, Consumer Electronics Society\, and Broadcast Techn ology Society</strong> (<strong>ComSoc/CESoc/BTS</strong>)\, <strong>IEEE Toronto Chapter (ComSoc/BTS)\, IEEE Communications Society Montreal Chapte r (ComSoc)\, IEEE Communications Society Quebec Chapter\, and IEEE Communi cations Society Kingston Section Chapter\, IEEE Ottawa Educational Activit ies (EA)\, IEEE Ottawa Women In Engineering (WIE)\, IEEE Ottawa Young Prof essionals (YP)\, and Algonquin College Student Branch (ACSB) </strong><str ong>in conjunction with School of Advanced Technology\, Algonquin College< /strong> are inviting all interested IEEE members and other engineers\, te chnologists\, and students to ComSoc Distinguished Lecture (webinar) on</p >\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 18pt\;"><st rong>Practical 5G channel and system modeling techniques</strong></span></ p>\n<p><strong>By ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer: Kafi Hassan\, Ph.D. </str ong></p>\n<p><strong>George Mason University\, ECE Department\, USA</stron g></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><span style="background-color: #f1c40f\;"><stro ng>IN-PERSON:</strong></span></p>\n<p><strong>DATE</strong>: <strong>Tuesd ay October 18\, 2022</strong></p>\n<p><strong>TIME:</strong> Refreshments\ , Registration and Networking: 06:00 p.m.\; Seminar: 06:30 p.m. &ndash\; 0 7:30 p.m.</p>\n<p><strong>PLACE: </strong><a href="http://www.algonquincol lege.com/sat/program/bit-photonics-and-laser-technology/optophotonics-lab/ "><strong>Ciena-Optophotonics Lab</strong></a><strong> (Room T129)\, </str ong>T-Building\, School of Advanced Technology\,</p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;&n bsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\ ;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; </strong>Algonquin College\, <a href="http://maps.google.c om/maps?q=1385+Woodroffe+Ave.%2C+ottawa&amp\;sourceid=navclient-ff&amp\;ie =UTF-8&amp\;rlz=1B2GGFB_enCA213CA214">1385 Woodroffe Ave.</a>\, Ottawa\, O N Canada&nbsp\; K2G 1V8</p>\n<p><strong>Admission: </strong>Free Registrat ion.
