%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% *Call for Papers*

The recently adopted IMT-2030 framework by ITU-R envisions 6G and beyond networks to provide intelligent, deep and ubiquitous connectivity integrating communication, sensing, computation, and localization functionalities with native artificial intelligence (AI) to enable extremely immersive user experience, multisensory XR applications, haptics, industry 4.0, and 3D global service coverage. Important technological trends being explored in this context in the 6G Flagship Projects include integrated sensing and communication, terahertz (THz) communication, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), holographic communication, dynamic spectrum sharing, connect-and-compute network infrastructure, and mobile edge computing. Data and information, AI, machine learning (ML), and blockchain have emerged as key enablers to optimize these emerging paradigms and enable mobile connected intelligence.

To realize integrated, intelligent and ubiquitous (IIU) connectivity for reliable, sustainable and resilient communication and networking, the scope of this workshop will include the integration and management of emerging technological trends including integrated AI and communication; integrated sensing, communication, computing and control; smart radio environments enabled by RISs and holographic radios; and integrated non-terrestrial-to-terrestrial connectivity. These solutions can be applied across the radio spectrum, from sub-6 GHz to THz frequencies with massive antenna arrays, and can be intertwined with emerging paradigms such as internet-of-things (IoT), internet-of-everything (IoE), internet-of-intelligent-things (IoIT), internet-of-space-things (IoST) and vehicle to everything (V2X). The challenges that emerge with the integration of multiple functionalities and networks under connected intelligence, such as spectrum management, security and privacy issues, waveform/precoding/receiver design, next generation multiple access, wireless backhaul management and more will also be explored.

The Workshop on IIU Connectivity for 6G will take place at IEEE ICC 2025 in Canada. It will provide a forum for sharing multidisciplinary contributions to the development of 6G networks that integrate multiple functionalities with native AI and ML, and provide seamless ubiquitous connectivity. The workshop will also cover an industry panel to discuss Futurewei, Ericsson and Huawei's 6G standardization activities for IIU connectivity. To this end, we seek to assemble crosscutting and high-quality original research papers on topics including, but not limited to:

* AI, machine/deep learning for intelligent and deep connectivity * Pervasive network intelligence for 6G networks * Integrated sensing, localization and communication in 6G * IIU connectivity at cmWave, mmWave and THz bands * Ultra-massive MIMO, holographic MIMO for IIU 6G connectivity * RISs and stacked intelligent metasurfaces enabled IIU 6G connectivity * Integrated terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks for 6G * IoT, IoE, IoIT, and IoST in 6G * Next-generation multiple access schemes for IIU 6G connectivity * Waveform, precoding, and receiver design for IIU 6G networks * Channel modeling, estimation, and tracking for IIU 6G connectivity * PHY layer algorithms and protocol design for IIU 6G connectivity * Network security and privacy challenges in IIU 6G networks * Resource allocation and wireless backhaul solutions * Mobile edge computing for integrated communication and computing * Over-the-air computing in 6G * Semantic communication for intelligent 6G connectivity
