CFP IEEE ICC Workshop
13 June 2024
Denver, CO, USA
Third International Workshop on Industrial Private 5G-and-beyond Wireless Networks
Scope:
The fifth generation (5G)-and-beyond of radio technology delivers multi-Gbps peak data rates, ultra-reliable low latency, and massive connectivity. Thus, it provides a large number of new applications and opens a wide variety of business opportunities. (5G)-and-beyond has the potential to shape the industrial world through the automation of everything. However, public 5G networks, which are owned and operated by mobile network operators, have drawbacks. On their pursuit of revenue, mobile network operators may deploy networks only in densely populated areas with vast number of subscribers. This may result in limited public network coverage, particularly in some enterprise and remote areas, far away from business hubs. Public network coverage may also often be insufficient within some industrial buildings and factories, with harsh radio frequency operating conditions. Industrial private networks have emerged and are attracting a significant interest to address the above-mentioned defects. This workshop aims to bring researchers for technical discussion on fundamental and practically relevant questions to many emerging challenges in industrial private wireless networks.
Topics:
We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/workshop. Topics of interest includes, but not limited to:
New private networking architectures, including OpenRAN
Integration of wireless systems into currently deployed industrial networks
Intelligent network orchestration and radio resource management (including cooperative edge computing, reinforcement learning, spectrum allocation, and spectrum management)
Wireless data traffic characterization and forecasting
Efficient multi-band aggregation, multi-channel operations, multi-node cooperation, distributed MIMO
Further enhanced URLLC for industrial private networks
Flexible spectrum agile multi-link operation and robust hardware design
Integration of time sensitive networking in industrial wireless networks
Private network planning, optimization, and energy efficiency
Distributed learning, including privacy-preserving learning across multiple private networks
RF-controlled intelligent reflecting surface for industrial private networks
Use of unmanned vehicles, e.g., UAVs, in industrial networks
Accurate localization and tracking and its integration with integrated sensing and communications
Paper Submission:
All submissions must be written in English in the standard IEEE two-column conference format and are limited to a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures and references. EDAS is configured to not permit the uploading of review manuscripts that exceed 6 pages. Once accepted, the final manuscript may have a 7th page, but such papers will incur an overlength page charge of US$100.
