Key themes in research on Wireless Communication at IEEE VTC Oslo, Jean-Paul Linnartz meets Erik Larsson (Linköping) and Petar Popovski (Aalborg)

101 editions of the IEEE VTC conferences, and still innovation in wireless communication is hot. I had a chance to ask keynote speakers and panelists Erik Larsson (Linköping) and Petar Popovski (Aalborg) about the new directions that will influence 6G. The highlights in less than two minutes: What does more intelligence mean for the network? Will Reconfigurable but passive Intelligent Surfaces, RIS, boost performance, or would we rather go for a swarm of amplifying analog repeaters? These can collectively improve the propagation environment. Jean-Paul Linnartz
