Universal Acceptance Steering Group - UASG’s Post

What is Universal Acceptance (UA), and how does it contribute to true internationalization of the Internet? This overview from EURid explains what UA is and how it has come to be the cornerstone of a truly multilingual #Internet4All. https://lnkd.in/eN_2Xixu

In this work, the authors present a wireless #localization method that operates on #self-#supervised and #unlabeled channel estimates. Their self-supervising method learns general-purpose channel features robust to fading and system impairments. Learned representations are easily transferable to new environments and ready to use for other wireless downstream tasks. To the best of their knowledge, the proposed method is the first joint-embedding self-supervised approach to forsake the dependency on contrastive channel estimates. Their approach outperforms fully-supervised techniques in small data regimes under fine-tuning and, in some cases, linear evaluation. The authors assess the performance in centralized and distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems for multiple datasets. Moreover, their method works indoors and outdoors without additional assumptions or design changes. ---- Artan Salihu, Markus Rupp, Stefan Schwarz More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/eKUprs-8

Last week, we presented our second paper at the Twenty-Third International Conference on Networks (ICN) in Barcelona, Spain. In this paper, we evaluate our approach by comparing 5G and 6G mobile networks under similar scenarios, with frequency and bandwidth being the only variables. The results obtained demonstrate that 6G mobile networks significantly outperform 5G mobile networks in terms of localization accuracy. This improvement is attributed to finer channel estimation facilitated by THz frequencies, which leads to enhanced positioning accuracy. Today, I am pleased to announce that our second paper has been published on ThinkMind, and you can access it here 👉 : https://lnkd.in/eXPMPBPS #6G, #Localization, #Accuracy

See you in Lisbon? I'm excited to be continuing the discussion on digital public goods that we started at the ICT4D Conference in Ghana - and while I don't believe in silver bullets, I do think #DPGs and digital public infrastructure in particular have a big role to play in helping us reach the #SDGs. #digitaldev #ICT4D #ImpactFirst2024

📚 New research! When most crisis-affected people don’t speak a powerful language, how can they be heard and get the vital information they need? This report published by GSMA – Mobile for Development and CLEAR Global highlights the language limitations of most digital humanitarian services, leaving millions of crisis-affected individuals excluded. The research explores what digital language exclusion looks like, the risks it carries, how mobile technology can bridge these gaps, and what humanitarian organisations can do about it. 👉 https://bit.ly/49ZMumT #UKAid

"The ONOS scheme is a groundbreaking step toward democratising knowledge and making it accessible to all. It promises to level the field by providing equal access and opportunities, but true empowerment lies in making knowledge accessible regardless of language differences, institutional resources, and abilities of students and researchers" – Abhishek Goel (He/Him), Cactus Communications
