CommunSense
The Fusion of Communication and Radar Sensing Towards Next-Generation Wireless Systems
CommunSense is a virtual event organized by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Peradeniya (EEES). The event aims to discuss the latest developments in wireless systems and higher education opportunities. The event will feature Dr. Rajitha Senanayake, a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne, Australia, as the keynote speaker.
The event was split into two sessions, both of which were highly informative and engaging. The first session was led by Dr. Rajitha Senanayake, a Senior 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 based on the classical stepped frequency radar waveform and discussed the performance of this waveform from both a communications and radar sensing perspective. This session was precious for those interested in extending the functionality of communication systems and keen to learn more about the latest developments in this field.
The second session of the event focused on higher studies opportunities at the University of Melbourne. Dr. Senanayake provided insights into the process of obtaining international research scholarships, which was highly beneficial for those who are looking to pursue their higher studies career in a foreign university. This session was ideal for students and researchers keen to learn more about the opportunities available at the University of Melbourne and interested in exploring the possibility of studying in Australia.
The event was well-organized and highly professional, with a clear structure and a comprehensive agenda. Although it was not specified whether the event was virtual or physical, it is safe to assume that it was most likely virtual due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. No information was provided about registration, payment, or attendance, but it is likely that the event was free to attend and open to anyone who was interested in learning more about the topics that were covered.
Overall, CommunSense was an excellent event that offered 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 with the world around us, and this event provided a fascinating glimpse into the possibilities that lie ahead. Anyone interested in this field should check out the resources provided by the University of Melbourne and explore the available opportunities.
