We are happy to announce that our project labeled “Ultra-Connectivity for 6G Wireless Communications: UAV and Intelligent Reflective Surface Enabled Heterogeneous Network Design” has won a grant offered by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) in the context of 1001 program! In this project, we propose a reliable, energy-efficient, and effective vertical heterogeneous network scheme (VHetNet) satisfying 6G wireless network requirements. We aim to reveal a high-performance VHetNet with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) considering physical layer security. The project will be carrying out under the supervision of Prof. Lütfiye Durak Ata as a Principal Researcher (ITU), and the researchers from different universities and the industrial partner as Assoc. Prof. Sultan Aldırmaz Çolak (Kocaeli Univ.), Assist. Prof. Mustafa Namdar (Kütahya Dumlupınar Univ.), Assist. Prof. Arif Başgümüş (Kütahya Dumlupınar Univ.), Assist. Prof. Mehmet Akif Yazıcı (ITU), and Dr. Mehmet Başaran (Vodafone Turkey), respectively.
