Abstract: "Be formless… shapeless, like water!" These iconic words from Bruce Lee encapsulate the core philosophy of Jeet Kune Do, the martial arts system he founded in 1967. But what if this philosophy were applied to the design of wireless communication systems? This talk introduces a groundbreaking reconfigurable antenna technology known as the Fluid Antenna System (FAS). By enabling unprecedented flexibility in shape and position, FAS revolutionizes the physical layer of wireless communications, unlocking new degrees of freedom never seen before. The presentation begins with a formal definition of FAS and explores how it synergizes seamlessly with existing mobile communication technologies. We will then delve into its transformative potential to address critical challenges in future-generation wireless systems. Finally, the talk concludes with insights into the implementation of FAS, complemented by early experimental results showcasing its promising performance.

 

Biography: (Kit) Kai-Kit Wong was born in Hong Kong and received the BEng, the MPhil, and the PhD degrees, all in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, in 1996, 1998, and 2001, respectively. He is Chair Professor of Wireless Communications at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University College London after taking appointments at University of Hong Kong and University of Hull and visiting positions at Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs and Stanford University. His current research centers around 6G and beyond mobile communications. He is one of the early researchers who proposed multiuser MIMO. His first paper on multiuser MIMO was published in WCNC 2000 which appeared to be the first ever research paper on this topic. He is Fellow of CIC, IEEE and IET. He served as the Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Wireless Communications Letters between 2020 and 2023.

Welcome!

Best regards,
Tommy Svensson, IEEE VT/COM/IT Sweden Chapter
