HAPSs Connect the Unconnected 6g wireless systems

Connectivity is a cornerstone of today’s world – but roughly one-third of the planet’s population isn’t linked up. Bridging that gap has proven challenging, because telecoms are hesitant to invest in the infrastructure to reach remote, sparsely populated areas. One solution is to lighten the load by moving communications infrastructure into the sky, where a network of flying platforms can link remote sites to satellites or terrestrial networks. But these high altitude platform stations (HAPS) technologies have applications and implications far beyond simply connecting rural communities. A HAPS

6g wireless systems connectivity NTN Communication Non-Terrestrial Networks IoT

KAUST Ph.D. candidate Omar Khalifa earned an impressive second place in the global Competition on Non-Terrestrial Networks for 6G (NTNYS'24). The IEEE Future Networks Initiative organized the competition as part of the "Connecting the World from the Skies Global Forum," which took place last November in Riyadh. Second place, and a prize of $10,000, was awarded to Khalifa based on his work titled "Supplying Data for Digital Twins in Green Smart Cities: A Non-Invasive NTN-IoT Approach." The international forum, which focused on the theme “Shaping the Future of Converged Connectivity,” was hosted
