UAVs are becoming an emerging technology with several civil applications, including remote delivery of goods, environmental monitoring, and support to emergency scenarios, among others. This lecture will address the different options for integration of UAVs with "beyond 5G" mobile networks, outlining potential 6G use cases in the integration of such agile mobile platforms within the architecture of future mobile networks. The first part of the presentation will offer an overview of ongoing activities and relevant efforts in the field, while the second one will provide a look into the future of UAVs in 6G.  

Internet just turned 50: five decades that shaped the world we live in. Indeed, Internet itself evolved astonishingly since the beginning, from a network prototype consisting of a few static nodes in the early days to a leviathan interconnecting with billions of devices half of the world’s population. But what comes next, the so-called Quantum Internet, will be even more revolutionary, likely in ways we cannot image yet. The aim of this talk is to highlight the challenges and the opportunities connected to the design and deployment of the Quantum Internet, which requires a major network-paradigm shift and a multidisciplinary effort to harness the counter-intuitive marvels of quantum mechanics.
