New Perspectives for the Integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks for 6G Systems
Hosted by the Future Networks Satellite Working Group
Date/Time: Wednesday, December 18th, 2024 @ 17:00 UTC
Join us for two amazing presentations
Topic:
Management and Control Techniques for Energy Saving in Integrated Non-Terrestrial/Terrestrial Networks
by Franco Davoli (CNIT-University of Genoa, Italy), Hesham Elbakoury (Consultant, USA)
Abstract:
In the evolutionary path beyond 5G toward 6G, network energy efficiency is being recognized as a fundamental indicator, along with those regarding system performance. The impact of this aspect extends to both wired and wireless networks and, among the latter, to Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) as well, and implies a reconsideration of management and control techniques to include the trade-off between energy and performance KPIs. This talk will touch upon some topics relevant to NTN/TN integration in this respect: conveying energy consumption information and adjustment capabilities; energy/performance tradeoff over multiple time scales; role of virtualization; multiple orchestration levels; exploiting O-RAN functional splitting in NTN edge extension; role of AI/ML.
Speakers:
 |
Franco Davoli is Professor Emeritus at the University of Genoa, Department of Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering, and Naval Architecture (DITEN). (see full bio in SPEAKER details) |
 |
Hesham is an industry veteran with extensive background and expertise in IT/OT, and the architecture and design of access, carrier, and enterprise Networks. (see full bio in SPEAKER details) |

Franco Davoli (CNIT-University of Genoa, Italy)
Biography:
Franco Davoli is Professor Emeritus at the University of Genoa, Department of Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering, and Naval Architecture (DITEN). His current research interests are in dynamic resource allocation in multiservice networks and in the Future Internet, mobile wireless (5G/6G) and satellite networks, multimedia communications and services, and in flexible, programmable and energy-efficient networking. He has co-authored over 400 scientific publications in international journals, book chapters and conference proceedings. In 2004 and 2011 he was Visiting Erskine Fellow at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. He has been the Principal Investigator in a large number of projects and has served in several positions in the Italian National Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT), an independent organization currently joining 42 universities all over Italy. He was Vice-President of the CNIT Management Board for the term 2005-2007, co-founder and Head of the CNIT National Multimedia Communications Laboratory in Naples for the term 2003-2004, founder and Head of the CNIT National Laboratory of Smart and Secure Networks (S2N), based in Genoa, Italy, and member of the CNIT Scientific Board, for the term 2016-2022. He is a Life Senior Member of the IEEE.
