T4: From 1 to 100: Standardization in the Communication Industry
Organizer: Ruiqi (Richie) Liu, ZTE Corporation, China
Abstract: The motivation of this tutorial is to give the audience a broad overview of standardization. During my experience attending IEEE conferences throughout the years, I notice that many students and professors have strong interests in participating in industrial activities such as standardization, while they lack the basic knowledge. I have also assisted some professors to help convert their work into standards, and it turned out to be quite fruitful. Thus, I believe that the research outcomes from the academia are solid and ready, while what is missing is enough awareness and knowledge on standardization: what matters, how it works and how to make your work impactful.
In this tutorial, I will introduce the ABCs of standardization for communication industry, with rich and most up-to-dated information as well as detailed case studies. After hearing this toturial, it is anticipated that the audience will have a basic understanding for them to understand why standardization is needed in the communication industry, how it works, and how to participate if desired.

Ruiqi (Richie) Liu (S’14-M’20) received the B.S. and M.S. degree (with honors) in electronic engineering from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2016 and 2019 respectively. He is now a master researcher in the wireless research institute of ZTE Corporation, responsible for long-term research as well as standardization. His main research interests include reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, integrated sensing and communication and wireless positioning. He is the author or co-author of several books and book chapters. He has participated in national key research projects as the researcher or research lead. During his 3-year service at 3GPP from 2019 to 2022, he has authored and submitted more than 500 technical documents with over 100 of them approved, and he served as the co-rapporteur of the work item (WI) on NR RRM enhancement and the feature lead of multiple features. He currently serves as the Vice Chair of ISG RIS in the ETSI. He actively participates in organizing committees, technical sessions, workshops, symposia and industry panels in IEEE conferences as the chair, organizer, moderator, panelist or invited speaker. He served as the guest editor for Digital Signal Processing and the lead guest editor for the special issue on 6G in IEEE OJCOMS. He serves as the Editor of ITU Journal of Future and Evolving Technologies (ITU J-FET) and the Associate Editor of IET Quantum Communication. He is the Standardization Officer for IEEE ComSoc ETI on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (ETI-RIS) and the Standards Liaison Officer for IEEE ComSoc Signal Processing and Computing for Communications Technical Committee (SPCC-TC). He received the Outstanding Service Award from the SPCC-TC in 2022.
