These scenarios\, as well as e merging applications such as large-scale cyber–physical systems\, digita l twins\, and immersive human-machine interaction and their even more stri ngent requirements\, will remain highly relevant in future 6G networks und er the extreme URLLC (xURLLC) paradigm. The demanding reliability and late ncy targets of (x)URLLC make the design of wireless access challenging at multiple protocol layers. This talk will provide an overview of 5G/6G (x)U RLLC use cases\, their requirements\, and will present novel techniques to enhance link reliability and robustness by exploiting multi-connectivity through complementary mechanisms at the PHY and MAC layers.\n\n[Miguel Lop ez-Benitez]\n\nBiography: Miguel López-Benítez received the B.Sc. and M. Sc. degrees (with distinction) in telecommunication engineering from Migue l Hernández University\, Elche\, Spain\, in 2003 and 2006\, respectively\ , and the Ph.D. degree (summa cum laude) in telecommunication engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia\, Barcelona\, Spain\, in 2011. From 2011 to 2013\, he was a Research Fellow with the Centre for Communica tion Systems Research (now the Institute for Communication Systems)\, Univ ersity of Surrey\, UK. In 2013\, he joined the University of Liverpool\, U K.\, as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics. He is currently a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) with the School of Computer Science and Informatics. His resea rch interests include wireless communications and networking\, cellular mo bile communications\, and the application of artificial intelligence to co mmunication systems.\n\nRoom: Room 105\, Bldg: Bharti School\, Room 105\, Bharti School Committee Room\, IIT Delhi\, Hauz Khas\, New Delhi\, Delhi\, India\, 110016\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/548980 LOCATION:Room: Room 105\, Bldg: Bharti School\, Room 105\, Bharti School Co mmittee Room\, IIT Delhi\, Hauz Khas\, New Delhi\, Delhi\, India\, 110016\ , Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/548980 ORGANIZER:tgokulnath@iitd.ac.in SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:Talk by Prof. Miguel López-Benítez on "Achieving Extreme Link Rel iability for (x)URLLC Services in 5G/6G Networks" URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/548980 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Talk Title</strong>: "Achieving Ex treme Link Reliability for (x)URLLC Services in 5G/6G Networks"</p>\n<p><s trong>Abstract</strong>: The 5th Generation of cellular mobile communicati on systems introduced the concept of Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communicat ion<br>(URLLC) to support innovative applications such as Industry 4.0\, i ntelligent transportation systems\, tactile Internet\, remote healthcare\, and mission-critical services.
