SUMMARY:5th IEEE International Symposium on Joint Communications & Sensing - January 28 - 30\, 2025 - In Finland & Streaming Worldwide
DESCRIPTION:Website: https://jcns-symposium.org/ \nThe integration of communication and radio sensing in the same spectrum is likely to be one of the key features in B5G wireless systems. A joint design of both services will improve the efficiency of spectrum usage\, and will offer the opportunity of providing radar as a service\, just like communications today. Recent advances in mmWave communications\, massive MIMO and machine learning\, among others\, are making this vision possible\, but many technical challenges still remain\, from hardware up to the application layer. Therefore\, Joint Communications and Sensing (JC&S) is the subject of rapidly growing interest in the research community\, and this symposium will focus on the different system and implementation aspects of this promising new approach\, bringing together academic and industrial experts from both the radar and communications research communities. \nWe look forward to welcoming you in Finland in 2025. For those unable to attend\, all sessions will also be streamed online and recordings will be available after the event.

SUMMARY:6GArch – 4th International Workshop on 6G Architecture – Call For Papers
DESCRIPTION:10th edition combined with 5GArch Workshop Series\n\nIn conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2024\, Cape Town\, South Africa\, 8-12 December 2024\, https://globecom2024.ieee-globecom.org/ \nThis workshop is organised by the SNS JU 6G Architecture work group. \n– Objectives – Call for Papers – Important Dates/Submit a Paper – Workshop Organisers/Committee – Tentative Program – Past Editions \n  \n1.    Objectives of the workshop\nSince the early generations\, mobile and wireless communications systems have played a crucial role in establishing essential connectivity. They have facilitated easy access to information anytime and anywhere\, leading to accelerated knowledge build-up and value-added actions across various sectors of society. The significance of wireless communication infrastructure has been further highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic\, as it has supported global stability and faster recovery by maintaining a stable technological environment and seamless societal connections despite quarantine regulations. \nRecognizing the critical role and importance of mobile and wireless communications\, advancements in the telecommunications ecosystem are captured through non-backward compatible features specified in a new generation of mobile and wireless communications systems. Transitioning from one generation to the next requires significant efforts\, and the justification for a new generation must consider technical\, societal\, and economic factors. These factors are interconnected\, meaning that advancements in any of these areas can accelerate the overall process. For example\, the need to explore new business areas also entails supporting a diverse set of requirements. \nIn this context\, 3GPP standardization has progressed rapidly\, and more 5G system enhancements are reaching maturity with the completion of Release 17\, while Release 18 is marking the start of 5G-Advanced. Release 19 is underway to provide a guidance on what future the 6G system needs to be capable of\, and Release 20 is in preparation. At the same time\, the Smart Networks and Services (SNS JU) in Europe\, under the Horizon Europe program for Research and Innovation\, has started to date more than 60 project in Phases 1 and 2\, and more projects are underway. The European SNS JU program is a joint initiative between the private and the public side and focuses on 5G-Advanced and 6G. \nTo address the architectural evolution towards 6G\, the SNS 6G Architecture Working Group (WG) has evolved from the 5G PPP Architecture WG\, which has issued several white papers and an open-access book\, with the latest one specifically focusing on this workshop’s topics. The workshop aims to discuss novel key architectural innovations required for future 6G mobile telecommunications networks. It also provides a platform for projects working on long-term innovations and formulating research items under the 6G theme to share their visions\, requirements\, and architectural considerations for future mobile systems. \nThe thematic topics of the workshop revolve around technology enablers and design recommendations\, facilitating the transition from 5G-Advanced towards a fully-fledged 6G architecture. These topics will encompass areas such as network infrastructure\, spectrum utilization\, connectivity\, scalability\, sustainability\, security\, as well as joint/integrated communication and sensing\, among others. The workshop will source from the very vibrant SNS JU research community that is already working on the topics\, providing reference architectural solutions. \nIn summary\, the rapid progress in mobile telecommunications has demonstrated their crucial role in establishing connectivity and fostering knowledge sharing. The ongoing efforts in 5G standardization\, the SNS JU projects (and previously the 5G PPP projects)\, and the upcoming focus on 5G-Advanced and 6G research indicate the industry’s dedication to advancing mobile telecommunications systems. The workshop aims to explore architectural innovations and provide a collaborative platform to shape the future of mobile telecommunications systems. \n  \n2.    Call for Papers\nAs we witness the continuous strides toward the next generation of mobile network architectures\, there arises a critical need to discuss and consolidate architectural perspectives toward the definition of the 6th Generation of Mobile Network Architecture. \nThis involves encouraging researchers and engineers to contribute and exchange their insights and visions on various topics such as infrastructure\, spectrum utilization\, connectivity\, scalability\, sustainability\, and security\, among other key areas. \nIn the 6GArch workshop\, we delve into the evolving landscape of mobile and wireless communications systems\, calling for contributions on these emerging topics that are paramount to the definition of future mobile communications.

SUMMARY:Join us at MWC Barcelona to meet SNS JU projects including us!
DESCRIPTION:The Smart and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) will host a “6G Horizon” session at Mobile World Congress 2024 to explore the next frontier of wireless communication technology: 6G. In a world that’s constantly evolving\, it is essential to explore the potential of next-generation communications from every conceivable angle\, which is why we have organized this 90-minute session: “Bridging Perspectives for a Sustainable Future.” \nThe OPTI-6G project will also be present and information will be shared at the SNS booth!  \nAs we embark on this journey into the 6G territory\, it’s imperative to recognize that this technological leap will not be just about faster downloads or lower latency. Rather\, it encompasses a multidimensional landscape that spans business\, technical\, and societal domains. In this session\, we will explore the multifaceted case for 6G\, acknowledging that multiple stakeholders bring diverse views to the table. This conference serves as a crucial platform to foster understanding and harmonize these varied perspectives. The dynamic interplay between industry leaders\, innovators\, policymakers\, and researchers will drive us closer to a collective vision of what 6G can and should be. We believe that through such collaborative efforts\, we can unlock the full potential of 6G technology. \nIn this session\, we will also delve into the distinct European perspective on 6G\, highlighting the strong tradition of public-private collaboration that has been instrumental in shaping the continent’s technological landscape. We will also emphasize the vital interfaces between 6G and various vertical industries\, paving the way for transformative applications and services. \nFurthermore\, our discussion will underscore the profound impact of 6G on areas as critical as sustainability and cybersecurity. As we move towards a more connected and data-driven world\, 6G has the potential to revolutionize how we approach future challenges\, offering innovative solutions for resource optimization and data sovereignty. \n  \n \nMore info: https://smart-networks.europa.eu/event/sns-ju-at-mwc-6g-horizon-session/
