About the lab
More about the lab
Advancing wireless communications for the 6G era
The Intelligent Wireless Communication (i-WiC) Laboratory was established in 2021 at the Institute of Communications Engineering, National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), Kaohsiung, Taiwan. We develop the wireless technologies that will shape beyond-5G and 6G networks.
Led by Prof. Keshav Singh, our team designs intelligent, efficient and secure communication systems, with a focus on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, integrated sensing and communication, next-generation multiple access, near-field and new antenna technologies, and AI-driven wireless networks. Our work is published in leading IEEE journals and conferences, and we collaborate with research groups and industry partners around the world.
