Associate Professor Bo WEI of Hiroshima University, Japan

With the development of 5G and 6G technologies, video transmission and integrated sensing and communication technologies can ensure high-quality data delivery while achieving efficient resource utilization. This talk introduces several technologies for network quality prediction, adaptive bitrate control for video transmission, and integrated sensing and communication. First, for network quality prediction, we propose HOAH, a hybrid model based on autoregression and support vector machines, as well as TRUST, an LSTM-based prediction model, both of which enable highly accurate prediction of network quality. Next, we propose adaptive video bitrate control technologies based on reinforcement learning and quantum computing, achieving smooth video transmission in complex network environments. Finally, ISAC technologies such as WiFi-based integrated sensing and communication applications for measuring the dielectric properties of materials, which may be applied in the future to fields such as material identification and food safety.
