Webinar: Machine Learning in Communications and Sensing in Wireless Networks
In this webinar, it will be discussed how Machine learning strategies will be extensively adopted in next-generation wireless networks for integrating communication and sensing services. The new wireless systems will be required to provide ultra-fast and reliable connectivity to support emerging applications such as the Metaverse, autonomous driving, and telemedicine. This challenges the way networks are managed now, and the way forwards is to use context-aware data-driven approaches. Therefore, next-generation wireless networks are supposed to rely on wireless sensing strategies combined with advanced machine learning approaches to implement algorithms that adapt to the actual network deployment, users’ requirements, and propagation channel. In addition to the connectivity service, the intrinsic capability of wireless networks to sense the propagation environment is expected to be leveraged in next-generation systems to provide the users with environment monitoring applications. In this context, machine learning will be paramount to address the complexity of wireless sensing tasks and process the high amount of data required for their effective implementation. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the most recent research we carried out in this area, regarding both communication-assisted sensing and sensing-assisted communication strategies, mentioning the open research challenges we have identified.

Dr. Francesca Meneghello
Biography:
Francesca Meneghello received her Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2022. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Information Engineering at the same university. In 2023, she was a visiting researcher at the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things at Northeastern University (USA) on a Fulbright-Schuman fellowship. Dr. Meneghello was a recipient of the Best Student Presentation Award at the IEEE Italy Section SSIE 2019 and received an honorary mention in the 2019 IEEE ComSoc Student Competition. She received the 2022 GTTI Ph.D. award for Ph.D. Theses in the field of Communication Technologies and the Fall 2022 IEEE DataPort Dataset Upload Contest award in the Machine Learning category. Her research interests include sensing-assisted algorithms for context- and energy-aware wireless networks, and communication-assisted approaches for remote radio frequency sensing through deep-learning architectures.
