Connecting Spaces, Empowering Society


As social activities are reorganized around data and networks, wireless networks are becoming key social infrastructure that connects people, objects, and environments, and integrates the physical world with cyberspace. Looking toward the Beyond 5G/6G era, our laboratory advances technologies that make intelligent use of limited radio resources and deliver the right information to the right place at the right time, as well as IoT systems built on these technologies. Our research includes control of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) for effective use of high-frequency bands; emergency communication networks that expand coverage by integrating satellite communications with drones; semantic communications and deep reinforcement learning for bandwidth allocation and autonomous drone flight control; and distributed edge computing that supports AI close to where data are generated. We pursue applied research across communications, IoT, and AI, including medical-engineering collaboration for diagnostic support and preventive healthcare. Through these efforts, we aim to create spaces that sense, learn, and respond, contributing to a safe, secure, resilient, and intelligent society.
