On July 7-8, 2017, Prof. Xinyu Zhang from Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison gave a talk about "Designing the Wireless Internet of Things with Ambient Awareness". The talk mainly introduced two critical underpinnings for IoT: (i) wireless network architectures that can scale to billions of devices with wire-speed connectivity; (ii) ubiquitous sensing mechanisms that enable the devices to be aware of ambient locations and micro-activities. In addition, Prof. Zhang shared the experience of doing research on fields of Network MIMO, IoT, Smart Sensing, MIMO, System Design and so on.
