Abstract
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.
The proposed workshop on integrated ground-air-space wireless networks is both timely and critical as the demand for seamless, ubiquitous connectivity continues to grow in various sectors, from consumer applications to critical infrastructure. As the boundaries between terrestrial, aerial, and space-based communication systems blur, the need for innovative solutions to integrate these domains becomes increasingly urgent. This workshop will likely attract high-quality submissions due to the relevance of its topics to ongoing research in wireless communications, as well as its alignment with the emerging trends in 6G networks and beyond. Moreover, the workshop's focus on cutting-edge issues such as network architecture, enabling technologies, and standardization will draw a broad audience, including not only researchers and practitioners but also industry professionals and policymakers eager to explore the future of global connectivity. Unlike other events that might only touch on aspects of this integration, this workshop uniquely emphasizes a comprehensive approach, covering the full spectrum from ground to space, thus filling a critical gap in current academic and industry forums.
