WS-03: Workshop on Emerging Topics in 6G Communications

WS-03: Workshop on Emerging Topics in 6G Communications

5G networks and devices are now a reality with wide deployment and spread among population, but the demand for advanced data services as well as beyond-communication services is still booming, and will soon need for a new generation for wireless/cellular communication, the 6G. It will be a new standard that not only provides high data rates, extremely low delay, large connection density, but also will enable the integrated sensing and communications as well as AI-native designs. Novel beyond-communication usage scenarios and use cases are envisaged to be supported, and thus more computation and communication resources may be consumed, where their optimization is a must.

 

6G communications will bring new challenges due to their sensitivity to scenario conditions, thereby requiring highly adaptive techniques that will adapt fast, in order to guarantee a satisfactory delay. Spectrum and resources management will be crucial within 6G in order to account for the extremely heterogeneous scenario. The network complexity will also be unprecedented, due to the very diverse applications such as ultra low latency requirements for critical vehicular communications, the growing demand of high positioning accuracy for location-based services, and dense heterogeneous architectures. Several emerging topics are encountered within 6G and this workshop will focus on such emerging topics, and potential solutions will be presented. Researchers and engineers from academia and industry are invited to submit their recent research results and innovations.

 

We seek original work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- AI applications for 6G.
- Novel signal processing techniques for 6G.
- Smart Antenna schemes for 6G.
- 6G communications at the Terahertz band.
- Advanced Full Duplex strategies for 6G.
- Meta-surfaces implementation at 6G.
- New Quality of Service (QoS) metrics for 6G.
- Multiple Access schemes suitable to 6G.
- Dynamic spectrum access/sharing at 6G band.
- New network architectures in 6G.
- Self-organizing 6G-enabled IoT. 
- Interference management at 6G.
- New security concepts within 6G. 
- 6G Testbeds and Applications.
- Spectrum regulatory for 6G bands.
