Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a Special Issue dedicated to advancing research and exploring innovative developments in 6G technology. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in 6G and foster the integration of diverse research contributions that can shape the future of this field. We invite researchers to submit original papers that advance theoretical foundations and practical applications in various aspects of 6G, contributing to a deeper understanding of this transformative technology.
This Special Issue welcomes full-length original papers addressing new advancements, insights, and applications in 6G. We encourage submissions that explore novel theoretical models, cutting-edge methodologies, and practical implementations that push the boundaries of 6G research.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:
- Integration of air, space, and sea of 6G networks and integration technology;
- New air interface and network architecture of endogenous intelligence;
- Massive MIMO technology;
- Theory and technology of wireless transmission in new physical dimensions;
- Terahertz and visible light communication technology;
- Integration of communication and perception;
- 6G and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology;
- 6G security architecture and security strategy;
- 6G and Edge Computing;
- 6G and Internet of Senses (IoS).
