SUMMARY:6G Evolution Summit\, 3&4 December 2024 (Free Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:6G Evolution Summit that will take place on December 3-4\, 2024 as a Free Virtual Event.\nEvent Agenda\nThis conference agenda spans four sessions focusing on the development\, technical challenges\, and sustainability goals associated with 6G technology. \nFull agenda: https://www.fierce-network.com/fiercenetworkcom/6g-evolution-summit-2024 \nSession 1 on December 3\, titled “Defining the 6G Future\,” explores upcoming use cases\, current progress\, and the ecosystem needed for 6G\, focusing on applications like digital sensing and the tactile internet. Keynote speaker Colin Wilcock of 6G IA will open\, followed by a fireside chat with David Soldani from Rakuten and a panel moderated by Stefan Pongratz from Dell’Oro. \nSession 2 addresses “5G Advanced\,” the bridge between 5G and 6G\, emphasizing how 5G Advanced use cases lay the groundwork for 6G development. Preston Marshall of Google will deliver the keynote\, and a panel discussion led by Sylwia Kechiche from OpenSignal will include experts like Professor Monisha Ghosh of SpectrumX. \nSession 3 on December 4\, titled “Navigating the THz Spectrum with AI/ML\,” examines the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in overcoming THz spectrum challenges essential for 6G. Andreas Roessler from Rohde & Schwarz will present a keynote\, and Monica Paolini of Senza Fili will moderate a panel with Scott Patrick from NTIA. \nSession 4 explores “Delivering on Sustainability Objectives with 6G Connectivity\,” where experts will discuss how 6G can support environmentally sustainable networks through AI-driven efficiency and resource management. Matti Latva-aho from the University of Oulu will lead a fireside chat\, with a panel including Venkatesh Ramaswamy from The MITRE Corporation. \nThe event offers a comprehensive look into how 6G technologies could redefine connectivity\, bridging the present with a more sustainable\, high-speed future. \n\n\n\n\nAbout 6G Evolution Summit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen Fierce Network first launched the 6G Evolution Summit back in 2022\, there was a slight sense that it was too soon to be talking about this next generation of connectivity before 5G had even taken off. But two years on and we have seen the increased momentum and excitement around the 6G industry which is currently on track to reach a tremendous value of $46.20 billion by 2033. And with the first specifications of 6G detailed in 3GPP’s Release 19 as early as next year\, it’s time for communication service providers (CSPs) to reflect on what progress has been made so far and what needs to be done to foster in the new connectivity ecosystem. Join Fierce Network’s 6G Evolution Summit where we will invite industry leaders to discuss the latest topics and developments in the 6G discussion.

SUMMARY:6GArch – 4th International Workshop on 6G Architecture
DESCRIPTION:WS-29: Workshop on 6G Architecture (6GArch)\n10th edition combined with 5GArch Workshop Series\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  \nObjectives – Call for Papers – Important Dates – Submit a Paper – Workshop Organisers/Committee – Program – Past Editions \n  \n1.    Objectives of the workshop (more here)\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<h4id=callforpapers>2.    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.
