Workshop Scope

This Workshop focuses on the frontier theories and technologies of 6G near-field communications. With the deployment of ultra-large-scale antenna arrays, wireless systems are transitioning from far-field planar-wave models to near-field spherical-wave propagation, bringing a paradigm shift in communication mechanisms, channel modeling, and system architectures. The Workshop will cover near-field physical mechanisms, channel measurement and modeling, centralized and distributed transmission methods, as well as standardization and industrialization efforts. By exploiting the angle–distance focusing feature of near-field waves, it aims to achieve higher spectral efficiency and spatial resolution, enabling emerging 6G applications such as aerial networks, integrated sensing and communication, and holographic communications. The Workshop strives to promote an indigenous near-field communication framework and foster 6G innovation and standardization.
