IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer: Towards Zero-Touch 6G Networks — RIS, AI-Native Intelligence, and Proactive Wireless Decision Making
IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecture
Join us for an insightful IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Lecture delivered by Dr. Lina Mohjazi, Associate Professor at the James Watt School of Engineering and IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer (2026–2027).
This seminar is co-organized by the IEEE ComSoc France Chapter and the IEEE France Life Members Affinity Group.
Lecture Abstract
The vision of 6G extends well beyond enhanced connectivity. It aims to establish fully autonomous, intelligent, and adaptive wireless ecosystems capable of supporting mission-critical services, immersive applications, and massive machine-type communications. Realizing this vision calls for a fundamental shift from conventional reactive network management towards zero-touch networks—intelligent systems capable of sensing, learning, reasoning, and making decisions with minimal human intervention.
This lecture explores the convergence of sensing, communication, and artificial intelligence as key enablers of future zero-touch 6G networks. It examines how distributed intelligence, AI-native architectures, and real-time environmental awareness can transform wireless infrastructures into proactive, autonomous, and self-optimizing systems.
Key Topics
-
Proactive Network Management: Emerging approaches to proactive mobility management, intelligent handover strategies, and adaptive IoT data collection.
-
Distributed and Scalable AI: Federated learning frameworks for enabling collaborative, privacy-preserving intelligence across distributed network environments.
-
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS): Exploiting programmable wireless environments to dynamically control signal propagation, enhance coverage and reliability, and improve energy efficiency.
-
Practical and Sustainable Deployment: Addressing key challenges related to scalability, sustainability, trustworthiness, and real-world implementation of next-generation wireless systems.
By bringing together advances in AI, sensing, and wireless communications, this lecture offers a comprehensive perspective on the transition towards autonomous and intelligent 6G ecosystems. It will also highlight emerging research opportunities and the key technological challenges that will shape the future of intelligent connectivity.
