Multicarrier Waveforms A Success Story on the way Towards 6G

Presented at IEEE ICC 2024.

This panel commemorates the IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award given to Stephen Weinstein, Len Cimini and Geoffrey Yi Li, for fundamental contributions to frequency domain communications including orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It brings together a diverse set of highly knowledgeable speakers to engage in a discussion with the audience about the lessons learned from the development of OFDM and how to extend them to the design of the 6G. OFDM is one of those unique ideas that we have been building as a community for a very long time and became a practical reality when the mass market applications coincided with the availability of efficient software and electronics, being today fully used in a large amount of communication standards.

Moderated by Ana Garcia Armada, the panel speakers are: Stephen Weinstein, Leonard J. Cimini, Sarah K. Wilson, Hikmet Sari, Jinhong Yuan.

Among the audience, asking (and replying) questions are: John M. Cioffi, Thomas L. Marzetta an Mauro Biagi.

The panel was kindly recorded by Kun Chen Hu.
