CARBONDALE, Ill. (KFVS) – An associate professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering at Southern Illinois University Carbondale is leading an international team of researchers on a project to integrate AI with sixth-generation (6G) wireless.
According to SIU, Gayan Alma Baduge is working on a three-year project with researchers from SIU, Villanova University in the US and Aalto University in Finland.
According to SIU, Baju’s work focuses on developing the theoretical foundations of the technology and designing radio systems capable of integrating mobile communications with environmental imaging and sensing in future wireless systems.
“6G wireless systems, which integrate sensing and communication capabilities, can be useful for environmental monitoring, vehicle networks and remote sensing,” Baduge said in a statement. “It will also facilitate the construction of smart cities while improving industry, manufacturing and agriculture.”
Baduge wants to design a structure where 6G and AI systems run on a single hardware platform using a unified waveform. This type of system can process signals from a variety of sensors while also handling general cellular and data transmissions.
The project is being funded by a $1.13 million grant, with SIU’s share of the grant, $336,500, coming from the National Science Foundation.
