IEEE VTS DISTINGUISHED TALK: Towards 6G-enabled Vehicle-to-Everything: Extreme Connectivity and Intelligence

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) has developed rapidly over the past decades. In the imminent era of 6G communications, unprecedented advancements will reshape our technological landscape and redefine the boundaries of the digital experience. While the specific details of 6G-enabled V2X networks are still under exploration, there is a consensus that it will enable two main features: ubiquitous communications via satellite-terrestrial integrated networks and intelligent connections tailored for emerging applications, notably autonomous vehicles. In this talk, we will first discuss extended use cases and potential network architectures in 6G. We will then focus on one case study, AI-enabled connected autonomous driving to support one of the representative 6G use cases. The case study focuses on enhancing resource scheduling for timely and reliable edge computing in autonomous driving. We will highlight the indispensable role of AI in network management, aiming to provide seamless connectivity and meet diverse service demands in the 6G era.

Towards 6G-enabled Vehicle-to-Everything: Extreme Connectivity and Intelligence

In the imminent era of 6G communications, unprecedented advancements will reshape our technological landscape and redefine the boundaries of the digital experience. 6G will enable two main features: ubiquitous communications via satellite-terrestrial integrated networks and intelligent connections. It is expected that 6G will significantly amplify network capabilities through advanced communication techniques such as AI methods and low-cost satellite communications, but this also ushers in new challenges to network management in 6G. In this talk, we will first discuss extended use cases and potential network architectures in 6G. We will then focus on two case studies for network management to support two representative 6G use cases: connected autonomous driving and satellite-terrestrial integrated networks, respectively. The first case study centers on enhancing resource scheduling for timely and reliable edge computing in autonomous driving, while the second delves into developing agile and scalable service provision for ultra-remote real-time services with long transmission distances and stringent delay requirements in satellite-terrestrial integrated networks. In both case studies, we will highlight the indispensable role of AI in network management, aiming to provide seamless connectivity and meet diverse service demands in the 6G era.
