Wireless backhaul/fronthaul links are proposed as an alternative for massive deployment of small cells because they are more flexible, easy to deploy, and cost effective as compared to the traditional optical fiber links. High frequency millimetre wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) links meet the capacity requirements of next generation communication networks. However, mmWave/THz links suffer from susceptibility to weather conditions and require a line-of-sight (LoS) connection, which is the main hurdle in urban regions. The utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a wireless fronthaul hub point between small cells and the core network is the promising solution. These UAV-hubs acting as networked flying platforms (NFPs) provide a possibility of wireless LoS fronthaul link and thus, enable the implementation of mmWave/THz in commercial systems at a fast pace, and is expected to boom in the next years. In this talk we will start with a literature review on the chronological order for mmWave/THz communications, Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), UAVs and multihop technology with the objective to introduce the different technologies that will merge to solve the challenges faced by Terahertz communications. Along the whole talk, we will highlight the different technologies that enable the tackled scenario, together with the comparison to the different proposals from the literature/industry to deal with such scenario.

In a relatively short period of time, the digital camera has become ubiquitous in our daily lives. The pace at which innovations are being made in this area is remarkable. The exciting aspect is that there is much more to come. In this talk, we review the evolution of digital cameras from camera obscura to film to digital to mobile. Along the way, we identify events that precipitated the change to a digital photography ecosystem. We briefly discuss practices and assumptions that are prevalent in the scientific community and look at a few signal processing solutions that we have developed over the years for problems in digital photography. Using these examples we demonstrate the multidisciplinary nature of digital camera image processing. We present recent results to show the progress that has been achieved in computational photography on mobile cameras and conclude with challenges and opportunities.

IEEE PES ESPAÑA | | Why are climate policies more necessary than ever? Economic development, environment and security of supply Estimados Miembros del Capítulo IEEE PES ESPAÑA y de la comunidad de sistemas eléctricos de potencia, Dear IEEE PES Spain Members and Colleagues from power and energy community, Continuing with the webinar series on the topic THE ENERGY TRANSITION | Towards a DECARBONIZED ECONOMY, we invite you to attend the following seminar organized within the framework of Comillas' Máster Universitario en Sector Eléctrico. In this seminar, Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera (Iberdrola) will talk about the need for climate policies. Title: Why are climate policies more necessary than ever? Economic development, environment and security of supply Content: Having just arrived from the Azerbaijan Climate Summit (COP 29) organized by the United Nations, Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera will show that the energy transition is not only about the environment (climate change, biodiversity, air quality...) but also about economics (since most of the clean solutions are more competitive...) and security of supply, of enormous value as we could see with the Ukraine crisis. How behind climate policies there are industrial policies to attract investments, how Spain is well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities, and how governments need to approve public policies that move the economy in this direction and the collaboration between everyone (companies, universities, governments, NGOs...) in alliances. Speaker: Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera (Iberdrola) Date: December 3, 2024 Time: 19:00 - 21:00 (CET) Language: Spanish or English To participate, please use the following link for more details and to register for the event: https://eventos.comillas.edu/125002/detail/why-are-climate-policies-more-necessary-than-ever-economic-development-environment-and-security-of-.html For further information: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/445920 Looking forward to seeing you.
