Abstract:
his talk starts with a brief overview of our recent work at the Open6G center https://www.open6g.us/ in designing open, programmable, and AI-powered next-generation cellular networks. We then showcase how the programmable testbeds in Open6G and the open-source 3GPP software stack, such as OpenAirInterface (OAI), can drive the experimental and standard-driven research in 6G systems. Special emphasis will be given to prototype development in use cases of spectrum sharing, sensing, clock distribution and positioning.

Bio:
Rajeev Gangula is a Research Assistant Professor at the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things, Northeastern University, Boston. He obtained his M.Tech degree from Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, and Ph.D. degrees from Télécom ParisTech (Eurecom), France. After his Ph.D., he held research engineer positions at Sequans Communications, Paris, and Eurecom, Biot, France. While working as a research engineer at Eurecom, he was leading the prototyping activity in autonomous flying UAV radio access networks. His current research interests include positioning and sensing in beyond 5G systems, connected robotics, spectrum sharing, and prototyping with software-defined radios.
