Emerging applications such as cooperative autonomous driving\, Ve hicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications\, digital twins\, AI-native netwo rking\, integrated sensing and communications (ISAC)\, edge intelligence\, and non-terrestrial networks demand communication infrastructures that de liver ultra-low latency\, high reliability\, massive scalability\, and per vasive intelligence.\n\nThis Distinguished Lecture provides a comprehensiv e overview of the architecture\, enabling technologies\, and key innovatio ns driving the evolution from 5G to 6G networks. Particular emphasis is pl aced on how these technologies support next-generation vehicular communica tions\, including cooperative perception\, autonomous mobility\, smart inf rastructure\, and intelligent transportation ecosystems.\n\nThe lecture al so presents practical methodologies for testing and validating 5G-Advanced and 6G networks using cloud-native\, Open RAN\, and federated testbed pla tforms. Topics include end-to-end network experimentation\, network slicin g\, AI-assisted network management\, edge computing\, performance evaluati on\, interoperability testing\, and standards-driven validation methodolog ies. Real-world demonstrations and deployment experiences illustrate how a dvanced testbeds accelerate innovation while bridging the gap between rese arch\, standardization\, and commercial deployment.\n\nAttendees will gain practical insights into designing\, deploying\, and validating future mob ile networks capable of supporting reliable\, scalable\, and secure connec ted mobility services for the next generation of intelligent transportatio n systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): Al-Dulaimi \, \n\nBldg: SEB 3109\, London\, Onta rio\, Canada LOCATION:Bldg: SEB 3109\, London\, Ontario\, Canada ORGANIZER:Abdallah.Shami@uwo.ca SEQUENCE:11 SUMMARY:From 5G to 6G: Testbeds\, Validation\, and Intelligent Vehicular Ne tworking URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/567409 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast -font-family: 'Times New Roman'\;">The evolution from 5G to 5G-Advanced an d\, ultimately\, 6G is redefining the future of intelligent transportation systems and connected mobility.
