Mr. Kyotaro Kunii made a poster presentation entitled “Investigating the Impact of LDPC Codes on LoRa Modulation Communication Performance” at Hokuyukai Alma Mater Networking Event (in Japanese).
Introduction of Media Network Course for Freshmen (Sep. 2023)
On Friday, September 29th, an introductory session for freshmen was held. Students from our research laboratory also participated as representatives of the Media Network Course. We provided an overview of the course, explained the research laboratory through panel presentations, and demonstrated equipment to the freshmen.
IEICE Society Conference, September 12-15, 2023, at Nagoya University
From September 12th to 15th, 2023, Mr. Mochizuki, a Master’s second-year student in our laboratory, presented his research findings at the IEICE Society Conference held at Nagoya University. It’s worth noting that this was the first full in-person event since the Society Conference was last held at Osaka University in 2019. Normally, IEICE conferences feature a general reception desk where attendees can exchange their registration slips for a participant’s kit. However, this time, no such general reception desk was set up. Instead, participants were required to print their own name tags and bring them to the venue. Name tag holders were then distributed in each session room for attendees to use. Additionally, a conference app was introduced, which allowed attendees to access papers and other relevant information.
