The event aims to discuss the latest developments in wireless systems and higher education opportuni ties. The event will feature Dr. Rajitha Senanayake\, a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne\, Australia\, as the keynote speaker.\n\nThe event was split into two sessions\, both of which were highly informative and engaging. The first session was led by Dr. Rajitha Senanayake\, a Seni or Lecturer at the University of Melbourne\, who discussed the importance of combining communication and radar sensing in future wireless networks. Dr. Senanayake presented a new joint radar and communication technique bas ed on the classical stepped frequency radar waveform and discussed the per formance of this waveform from both a communications and radar sensing per spective. This session was precious for those interested in extending the functionality of communication systems and keen to learn more about the la test developments in this field.\n\nThe second session of the event focuse d on higher studies opportunities at the University of Melbourne. Dr. Sena nayake provided insights into the process of obtaining international resea rch scholarships\, which was highly beneficial for those who are looking t o pursue their higher studies career in a foreign university. This session was ideal for students and researchers keen to learn more about the oppor tunities available at the University of Melbourne and interested in explor ing the possibility of studying in Australia.\n\nThe event was well-organi zed and highly professional\, with a clear structure and a comprehensive a genda. Although it was not specified whether the event was virtual or phys ical\, it is safe to assume that it was most likely virtual due to the ong oing COVID-19 pandemic. No information was provided about registration\, p ayment\, or attendance\, but it is likely that the event was free to atten d and open to anyone who was interested in learning more about the topics that were covered.\n\nOverall\, CommunSense was an excellent event that of fered valuable insights into the next generation of wireless systems. The combination of communication and radar sensing is an exciting development that has the potential to transform the way we communicate and interact wi th the world around us\, and this event provided a fascinating glimpse int o the possibilities that lie ahead. Anyone interested in this field should check out the resources provided by the University of Melbourne and explo re the available opportunities.\n\nCo-sponsored by: -\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. R ajitha\n\nAgenda: \n8:30 AM - 8:35 AM: Introduction and Welcome Remarks\n\ n- Welcome speech by the host\n- Introduction of the speaker\, Dr. Rajitha Senanayake\n\n8:35 AM - 9:05 AM: Session 1 - CommunSense: The Fusion of C ommunication and Radar Sensing\n\n- Importance of communication and sensin g in wireless networks\n- Overview of the new joint radar and communicatio n technique based on the classical stepped frequency radar waveform\n- Per formance of the waveform from both communication and radar sensing perspec tives\n- Q&A session\n\n9:05 AM - 9:25 AM: Session 2 - Higher Studies Oppo rtunities at The University of Melbourne\n\n- Overview of higher studies o pportunities available at The University of Melbourne\n- Discussion on the process of obtaining international research scholarships\n- Q&A session\n \n9:25 AM - 9:30 AM: Closing Remarks\n\n- Final remarks by the host\n- Tha nks to the speaker and participants\n- Announcement of upcoming events fro m the IEEE Communications Society and the University of Peradeniya.\n\nVir tual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/360528 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/360528 ORGANIZER:ieeecomsocuop@gmail.com SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:CommunSense URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/360528 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">CommunSen se is a virtual event organized by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc ) and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Unive rsity of Peradeniya (EEES).
