2023 IEEE Future Networks World Forum
13 November 2023 // 15 November 2023
From 13 to 15 November, Baltimore (USA) will host the 2023 IEEE Future Networks World Forum (IEEE FNWF’23). This new edition will continue the path set in 2018 by the IEEE 5G World Forum in bringing together experts from industry, academia, and research to exchange their vision as well as their achieved advances in the continuing evolution of network technology, including 5G, 6G, and other innovative cross-domain breakthroughs.
The IEEE FNWF’23 seeks contributions on how to nurture and cultivate future network technologies and applications for the benefit of society. These systems should unveil a novel network architecture that not only improves physical data rate but also creates a new ecosystem, allowing new services and applications deployment. A key target is to build a novel network architecture that should support not only classical mobile broadband applications and services but also vertical industry (e.g., Intelligent Transport, Industrial IoT, and eHealth) and other future networks-based services.
On November 15, Jesus Alonso-Zarate, director of R&D at the i2CAT Foundation, will intervene in the Symposium on Future Networks For Connected and Automated Mobility as one of the opening keynote speakers with a talk entitled “The European 5G Strategic Deployment Agenda for CCAM: an Overview”. In this talk, he will describe the current status of the 5G SDA for CAM development in Europe. This is a highly strategic document which aims at building consensus among CCAM stakeholders in Europe to define the best policies, cooperation models, and approaches to ensure a successful deployment of 5G technologies across Europe to attain uninterrupted 5G coverage which can boost advanced CCAM services. Also, Francisco Vázquez, leader of the V2X research line at i2CAT, will present the paper Cross-border 5G Seamless Connectivity for Connected and Automated Mobility: Challenges, Network Implementation, and Lessons Learnt (F. Vázquez-Gallego, Estela Carmona Cejud, Jad Nasreddine and Yuri Murillo Mange), developed within the 5GMED research project. The paper presents an overview of the 5GMED use cases, technical challenges, and ongoing research and development efforts. It also provides implementation details and lessons learnt from the project’s small-scale and large-scale trials that revolve around four use cases: remote driving, road infrastructure digitization, future railway mobile communications, and follow-me infotainment.
