IEEE ComSoc Training has an exciting announcement: a brand new course with an in-person option! On 1-3 October,  ComSoc will launch the new course, “Zak-OTFS and Delay-Doppler Processing for Next-Gen Communications” with instructor Dr. Saif Khan Mohammed whose recent work has focused on pioneering a new modulation waveform Zak-OTFS for next generation communication and radar systems (high mobility/ubiquitous connectivity, integrated sensing and communication and AI enabled networks).

This course has two options for participation: in-person hosted at the University of Essex, Colchester, UK, and online which can be taken from anywhere in the world, The course timing is  as follows:

Wednesday, 1 October, 10:30am - 4:00pm UK time (GMT+1) / 5:30 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
Thursday, 2 October, 10:30am - 4:30pm UK time (GMT+1) / 5:30 AM - 11:30 AM EDT
Friday, 3 October, 10:30am - 4:00pm UK time (GMT+1) / 5:30 AM - 11:00 AM EDT

As 6G networks face increasingly dynamic wireless environments, traditional methods like OFDM struggle with high Doppler and delay spreads, making reliable communication challenging. Zak-OTFS offers a breakthrough by embedding information in the delay-Doppler domain, enabling predictable channel behavior and minimal estimation overhead. This course introduces the foundational concepts of Zak-OTFS, including its applications in sensing, radar, and AI-driven wireless systems, with hands-on MATLAB exercises to deepen understanding.

Read the course description for full details on what’s covered in the course including an extensive outline of topics.

This intermediate-level course will explore different elements of Zak-OTFS and Delay-Doppler Processing, and what this means for the future of the technology.  Total instruction time is 14 hours.  Registration in this course includes a copy of the instructor’s slides, access to the streaming video recording of the course for a month after the live session, a certificate of participation, and optional 1.4 IEEE CEUs (continuing education units).
