Integrated ground-air-space wireless networks, that connect ground nodes, aerial platforms, and satellites, have been envisioned as a key component of future wireless networks to provide seamless connectivity for devices from various environment and applications. Despite the immense potential, several new challenges must be addressed to realize the truly integration between non-terrestrial and terrestrial networks, including network architecture, enabling technologies, typical use cases and standardization. Specifically, a hierarchical network architecture that integrates non-terrestrial and terrestrial networks shall be established, by taking into account the various communication, sensing, and computing capabilities of the ground nodes, aerial platforms, and satellites. Moreover, enabling technologies, including channel modelling, signal processing, interference mitigation, mobility and resource management need to be adequately devised to achieve adaptive and on-demand service provision within a unified integrated ground-air-space network architecture. Finally, typical use cases and standards that verify the usefulness of the network architectures and key technologies need to be designed. To that end, the present workshop aims to foster discussion, discovery, and dissemination of novel ideas and approaches in realizing integrated ground-air-space wireless networks.
