The first technical meeting of the iSEE-6G research project was successfully held on 27-28 January 2025, at the Information Centre – Library “Stelios Ioannou”, under the auspices of the IRIDA research group of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Cyprus.
The meeting was attended by 20 participants from 12 different academic and industrial organizations, who had the opportunity to learn about the research activities and advanced infrastructure of the University of Cyprus. During these two productive days, the partners strengthened their collaboration and discussed critical research questions related to the implementation of the project. Through presentations and constructive discussions, the progress of the project was highlighted, while priorities and next steps were identified, in line with the objectives of the iSEE-6G research project.
iSEE-6G: Integrated SEnsing, Energy and Communication for 6G Networks
The research project “iSEE-6G: Integrated SEnsing, Energy and Communication for 6G Networks” aims to develop a holistic, multi-layered architecture for future 6G networks that, for the first time, will support the joint operation of communications, computing processes, Joint Communications, Computation, Sensing and Power transfer (JCCSP) using common telecommunication infrastructures as well as new technologies such as smart reconfigurable surfaces/antennas and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). By integrating the above functions and technologies into a single platform, the proposed solution aims at implementing various applications such as precise positioning, natural disaster response and meeting the needs of the Internet-of-Everything (IoT). The innovative ideas developed in iSEE-6G will be verified through laboratory simulations and applied in two large-scale deployments to be carried out in dedicated facilities of two leading industrial partners of the project.
IRIDA research team
The IRIDA research group of the University of Cyprus, under the guidance of Professor Ioannis Krikidis, focuses on the effective integration of wireless energy transfer in future 6th generation wireless systems, the design of new waveforms, and the development of smart beamforming techniques. This research is expected to have important applications in future telecommunication systems, in particular in the Internet of Things and next generation systems, where billions of smart devices, connected to each other via a telecommunication wireless network, require energy to operate.
