Emergency communication is crucial for supporting comprehensive disaster response strategies, offering a high level of reliability within intricate rescue scenarios. This involves the integration of ground-air-space networks, encompassing satellites, aerial platforms, and terrestrial networks, to create a three-dimensional (3D) communication framework. The growing complexity of 3D network applications is driving an unprecedented need for advanced network automation within agile infrastructures. As the emergency communication networking environments evolve, recent initiatives have been developed aiming at establishing emergency communication network automation platforms, highlighting a shift towards more autonomous and intelligent network management systems while ensuring a variety of on-demand Quality of Service (QoS) standards. By incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, more efficient and reliable network management operations can be achieved.
This workshop on next generation intelligent emergency communications aims at providing a forum for authors to present research results on advanced network design and optimizations specifically for AI/ML applications. Topics of interest include (but not limited to) the following list:
- Satellite/aerial-assisted architecture for AI-based emergency communications;
- Development of integrated 3D communication and learning algorithms for realizing an intelligent mobile edge in emergency communications networks;
- Resource allocation and service adaptation for intelligent emergency network optimization and protocol design;
- Network planning/scheduling for intelligent emergency communications;
- Neural networks for wireless emergency communications;
- Semantic communications for wireless emergency communications;
- Sensing and localization for wireless emergency communications;
- QoS provisioning for ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)/massive Machine Type of Communication (mMTC) assisted emergency communications;
- Theoretical limits for fundamental performance analyses;
- Testing platform for intelligent emergency communications.
