CFP: ICC 2020 International Workshop on Ultra-high speed, Low latency and Massive Communication for futuristic 6G Networks

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to submit your research papers to ICC 2020 International Workshop on Ultra-high speed, Low latency and Massive Communication for futuristic 6G Networks. This workshops aims at presenting the most relevant scenarios, prominent research outcomes and state-of-the-art advances of 5G related to ultra-reliable low latency communication.

Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not currently under review by a conference or a journal will be considered. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Integrated Aerial/Terrestrial Networks

• 6G wireless networks

• Connected and Autonomous Aerial Networks

• AI & Data Analytics in Intelligent, Adaptive, and Efficient Networks of 2030s

• Ubiquitous 3D Super-Connectivity for networks of 2030s

• Predictive Resource Allocation and Scheduling for 6G

• Novel and Innovative NOMA solutions for 6G

• MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTING for Future Networking

• Connected, autonomous, networked vehicles and UAVs

• Radio access network (RAN) architecture

• Energy and spectral efficient low latency communications

• Novel hybrid and flexible waveforms for low latency communications

• Cross-Layer design and performance analysis for low latency applications

• Protocol stack restructure and procedures for low latency communication

• Coverage improvement techniques for low latency communication

• Spectrum aspects of URLLC – carrier frequency and spectrum requirements

• Network slicing and network functions virtualization – with focus on low latency

• Novel approaches towards session management and protocol stack,

• Network infrastructure and core network concepts,

• Cloud-RAN concepts in the context of latency- or reliability-critical applications,

• Architectural enablers for distributed or edge computing,

• Technical solutions to allow for a co-existence of traffic with stringent latency/reliability

requirements and other traffic (e.g. with ultra-high throughput requirements).

• Enabling technologies: e.g., SDN, NFV, CRAN, D2D, cloud/fog computing and

networking

• Emerging cellular architectures for distributed and flexible network functions in 5G/B5G

• Network/Resource slicing and network functions virtualization with focus on low latency

• Advanced radio resource management techniques for URLLC

• Low latency industrial control systems

• Information theoretic results for low latency communications

• Joint Control and Communication management for 5G use cases such as V2V, V2X and

V2I

• Risk-Aware Resource Allocation for URLLC

• Dynamic resource allocation for optimized latency and reliability in vehicular networks

• Marriage between NOMA, URLLC and Mobile Edge Computing
