Research Impact



6G KU-TII Chair

The KU-TII 6G Chair official Kick-Off meeting took place on April 23, 2024, in the presence of Sir John O鈥橰eilly, the President of Khalifa University of Science and Technology, and Dr. Ray Johnson, the chief Executive Officer of the Technology Innovation Institute (TII).

6G Chair General Objectives

In 2023,聽Khalifa University聽and the聽Technology Innovation Institute (TII)聽decided to strengthen their partnership by establishing a dedicated program, the 6G KU鈥擳II Chair.聽

The general objectives of the 6G chair are:

  • Catalyze some research areas aligned with the 6G center objectives.聽
  • Stimulate the development of wireless technologies and provide support to activities in wireless communications both nationally and internationally.聽
  • Collaborate by offering complementary expertise with the local telecommunications industry and international entities including agencies, industry, research, and academic institutions.
  • Engage in training activities in connection with the undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering offered at KU.

Native Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Our researchers are working on the following goals:

  • Utilize AI to enhance the efficiency and automation of networks
  • Re-design networks to support the proliferation of AI applications
  • Re-design networks to provide connected intelligence rather than connected
    networks
  • Integrate AI to enable predictive analytics and adaptive network
    maintenance.
  • Construct networks with built-in AI that supports advanced security
    measures and threat detection.
  • Implement AI to improve energy efficiency and optimize resource allocation
    within networks.

Broadband Connectivity

Our researchers are working on the following goals:

  • Develop a unified framework for 6G networks to support massive
    connectivity.
  • Enable massive multiple access schemes to accommodate the exponential
    increase in connected devices.
  • Prioritize energy efficiency in network design to minimize environmental
    impact and operational costs.
  • Enhance system throughput to ensure high-speed data transfer and
    reduce latency for a better user experience.
  • Innovate to support higher data volume transmission without compromising
    network stability or speed.

Localization and Sensing

Our researchers are working on the following goals:

  • Develop technologies that both leverage and enhance the capabilities of
    localization and sensing within network frameworks.
  • Innovate in the field of precise positioning and environmental mapping to
    support the deployment of autonomous systems.
  • Introduce technologies that improve the accuracy and reliability of real-time
    location-based services.
  • Advance sensor fusion techniques to enable more nuanced and context-
    aware network responses.
  • Pursue research in ultra-responsive networks that can dynamically adapt
    based on sensory input and localization data.
