Scope

The boundaries between the physical and digital worlds are rapidly blurring, leading to complex systems that integrate smart components. This drive towards innovative futuristic applications across many sectors, aiming to improve societal quality of life. Examples include Smart Cities, precision agriculture, and mitigation of white rural areas, among many others.

At the heart of these Smart Systems lies the Internet of Things (IoT), which enables the collection of real-world data through sensing devices. IoT relies on wireless communications to self-organize and interface with core networks, serving as a bridge between the physical and digital domains. As we look towards the future, these wireless technologies must evolve to meet the demands of increasingly complex Smart Systems. This evolution is crucial to pave the way for tomorrow's interconnected world.

For these reasons, our workshop aims to discover and promote innovative solutions for both long-range and short-range IoT applications, with a focus on next-generation networks. These technologies include the next generation of the Internet (6G), Non-terrestrial Networks (NTN), Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN), Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN), Vehicular Communications, and more.

  • Satellite communication using LoRa
  • Space-terrestrial integrated IoT
  • Security in LPWAN
  • Firmware update Over The Air (OTA)
