Description
We have entered the era of AI, brought about by three
converging forces, including the availability of big data, the invention of
deep learning algorithms, and high-performance computing accelerated by GPU.
Meanwhile, 5G mobile communication systems are becoming increasingly complex
due to the adoption of advanced technology features and the need to support
various services with stringent performance requirements. AI has emerged as a
powerful technology that improves system performance and enables new
functions in 5G-Advanced and 6G. As 3GPP is ramping up AI items for the
5G-Advanced evolution, we anticipate that AI adoption in mobile networks will
accelerate beyond proprietary solutions in the coming years. This talk will
provide a state-of-the-art overview of AI use in mobile networks by
describing the basic concepts, reviewing the recent key advances, discussing
details of the 3GPP standardization aspects, and sharing various design
rationales influencing standardization.
About the Speaker
Xingqin Lin is a Senior Standards Engineer at NVIDIA,
leading 3GPP standardization and conducting research at the intersection of
5G/6G and AI. Before joining NVIDIA, he was with Ericsson, leading 5G/6G
research and standardization in focus areas. He was a member of the Ericsson
NextGen Advisory Board, collaborating with Ericsson Executive Team on
strategic projects. He is an expert in wireless communications and technology
strategy and a key contributor to 5G NR, NB-IoT, and LTE standards. His
pioneering work has led to strategic opportunities, products, and real-world
deployments in the telecom industry, enabling major network transitions from
4G to 5G. He is co-author of the book “Wireless Communications and Networking
for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” and the lead editor for the book “5G and
Beyond: Fundamentals and Standards.” He has published 80+ refereed
papers and contributed to 200+ patent applications, including standards
essential inventions. His publications have been cited over 7,000 times.
He has garnered several awards, including the IEEE
Communications Society Fred W. Ellersick Prize (2021), IEEE Vehicular
Technology Society Early Career Award (2021), IEEE WCNC Best Paper Award
(2020), and IEEE Communications Society Best Young Professional Award in Industry
(2020), among others. He was included in the list of AI 2000 Most Influential
Scholars in the field of Internet of Things (2021 & 2022) and the list of
the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2020 & 2021). He serves/served as an
editor of the IEEE Communications Letters (2015-2018), IEEE Communications
Magazine (2022-now), IEEE Network (2021-now), IEEE Internet of Things
Magazine (2021-now), and a guest editor for the IEEE Communications Magazine
Feature Topic on “Aerial Communications,” IEEE Wireless Communications
Special Issue on “AI-Powered Telco Network Automation: 5G Evolution and 6G,”
and IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications special issue on “3GPP
technologies: 5G-Advanced and beyond.” He is an IET Fellow, an IEEE Senior
Member, and an IET Fellow Assessor. He holds a Ph.D. in electrical and
computer engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, USA.

Volunteers Needed: IEEE Spring STEM Event for Girls
“Girls Make STEM with Heart”, the IEEE Buenaventura spring
STEM event for middle-school girls, will be on Saturday, March 4 at Isbell
Middle School in Santa Paula. If you were involved in previous events, you
know what a wonderful experience it is for the students and volunteers. Here
is some background:
∙ Students can choose from a variety
of workshops covering topics such as chemistry, circuits, light, sound, solar
energy, and numbers.
∙ We have at least three mentors per workshop. Each
student was able to get plenty of attention.
∙ At the end of the day, students got to show what
they learned to their parents.
∙ Isbell Middle School graciously lets us use their
classrooms and food service. Each classroom is equipped with a computer
projector, movable tables and chairs, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
∙ Lunch and materials are provided by IEEE.
∙ See the IEEE Foundation Newsletter
for an excellent write-up of a past event, and our YouTube channel for a photo montage.
Planning for the event is already underway. If you are
interested in volunteering, please contact us at
