CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE WoWMoM Workshop 2022

NTN-6G: Non-Terrestrial Networks in 6G Wireless

http://ntn-6g.unirc.it/ http://ntn-6g.unirc.it/ ******************************************************************************************************************

Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) is growing in importance owing to its capability to deliver the novel unmanned and

autonomous applications of next-to-come sixth-generation (6G) networks anywhere and anytime and also provide

coverage in areas that are unreachable by any conventional Terrestrial Network (TN). Spaceborne (i.e., GEO, MEO, and

LEO satellites) or airborne (i.e., Unmanned Aircraft Systems or UASs and High Altitude Platforms or HAPs) vehicles

constituting the NTN may act either as a relay node or as a base station and can be leveraged to complement TNs.

Compared to terrestrial wireless networks, NTNs have many distinctive features, such as specific channel models, highly

dynamic network topologies, and weakly connected communication links. As a consequence, solutions tailored to

terrestrial networks cannot be directly applied to NTNs. Hence, new techniques suitable for NTNs need to be developed.

Furthermore, various satellite systems on different orbits remain isolated ‘islands’, and they are also disconnected from

the ground networks. Therefore, integrating all existing networks in air, space, and on ground into a unified system will

be essential for 6G.

The purpose of the NTN-6G Workshop is to provide a platform for the discussion of the major research challenges, latest

developments and recent advances in Non-Terrestrial Networks in 6G Wireless Networks.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Smart Radio Resource Management Techniques for Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Broadcast/Multicast services over Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- SDN and NFV solutions for Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Device and network virtualization in Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Edge, Fog, and Cloud computing architectures for Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Security, privacy, and trust management in Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning-based approaches in Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Above 6 GHz: millimeter-wave, Terahertz-band, optical wireless communication for Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Interference issues in Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Channel models for Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Multi-antennas technologies for Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Network Management & Control Issues for Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Standardization and evolution of Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Novel IoT application and use-cases enabled by Non-Terrestrial Networks;

- Experimental testbeds and measurements of Non-Terrestrial Networks.
