5G-Digital services represent the essential evolution of the modern Internet-driven economy. In simplest terms, 5G high-speed causeways enable ubiquitous access and connectivity to internet-connected services, sensors, drones, robots, and data as we move. Within the research community, 5G technology also represents transformative internet technology at the intersection of high-performance computing, high-speed networking, and high bandwidth wireless communications.  This “5G-mobile-internet” allows the computing devices that we carry around to analyze vast quantities of information for real-time services in highly mobile scenarios.   This presentation describes the 5G Internet, associated technology, and the 5G applications that will transform society.

Biography:

Dr. Kelley received his BSEE from Cornell University's College of Electrical Engineering in Ithaca NY where he graduated Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu. He received his MSEE and PhDEE from Georgia Tech in 1992 where he was an Office of Naval Research Fellow and a Georgia Tech Presidential Fellow with a research focus on communications, Signal Processing, and high performance computing architectures.  He spent 10+ years in industry with both Motorola and Motorola’s spinoff, Freescale.  While there, he rose to Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff, developing Wi-Fi, HSPA, LTE platforms, radio link simulators, and traveled around the world as a representative to the 3GPP RAN4 (4G-LTE) standards body. Since 2007, Dr. Kelley has been an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). At UTSA, Dr. Kelley is Director of the Wireless Information and Next Generation Systems Laboratory (WINGS) with an emphasis on 5G Communications, Software Defined Radio (SDR), Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN). Dr. Kelley has received over $2.6M in research funding from ONR, AFRL TECHLAV, DoE and consults extensively with cellular communications companies. He has numerous IEEE publications and holds 11 US patents. Dr. Kelley has been an IEEE 4G Technical Workshop Organizer, has served on the Technical Program Committee for IEEE Globecom, currently Chairs the IEEE Chapter of Communications and Signal Processing of San Antonio, is a member of the National Spectrum Consortium, and has been Associate Editor of the IEEE System Journal. From 2015-2016, Dr. Kelley was Sabbatical Employee of the Department of Defense in Washington D.C.; and  in 2015 and 2017, he was a Summer Faculty Fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the Quantum Information System Group. Dr. Kelley is a technical leader in the 5G Steering Group at JBSA and selected as Assistant Associate Dean’s Fellow in 2019.  At UTSA, Dr. Kelley instructs courses on 5G-New Radio Communications, Internet of Things (IoT), Software Defined Radio (SDR), Error Correction Codes, Statistics and Random Signals and Noise.
