Abstract:

Extremely large-scale antenna deployment has emerged as a promising paradigm for next-generation wireless networks, offering new opportunities to enhance signal coverage, spectral efficiency, and energy performance beyond conventional massive MIMO systems. In this talk, we will explore how deploying antennas across extremely large-scale areas can enable more adaptive and coverage-centric wireless communication. We focus on three key aspects: “what to deploy” (passive vs. active antennas), “where to deploy” (fixed vs. movable positions), and “how to deploy”. Meanwhile, we will also discuss enabling technologies that support large-scale deployment and highlight future directions toward 6G networks.
