Workshop on Fluid Antenna System (FAS) for 6G
April, 2026 Nanjing, Jiangsu, ChinaWorkshop Scope
As a next-generation reconfigurable antenna technology, the fluid antenna system (FAS) has attracted wide attention in recent years. Unlike traditional antenna techniques where multiple antennas are discretely deployed with fixed configurations, FAS can rapidly reconfigure its shape, size, position, orientation, and other radiation characteristics, thereby providing additional spatial degrees of freedom to achieve spatial diversity and interference suppression. By receiving useful signals at locations where interference experiences deep fading, FAS enables a new multiuser interference suppression approach, leading to the formation of a novel multiple access mechanism (FAMA).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Physics- and electromagnetic-compliant modeling of FAS
- Electromagnetic- or information-theoretic performance limits for FAS
- Advanced optimization theories and algorithms for FAS
- Efficient channel estimation/extrapolation/reconstruction techniques in FAS
- New coding and modulation schemes based on FAS
- FAS-assisted multiple access schemes for achieving extremely massive connectivity
- AI-assisted algorithms, management, and protocols for FAS
- Enhancements in physical layer security and privacy through FAS
- Joint communication, sensing, and/or computing designs in FAS
- New reconfiguration capabilities for FAS
- Interrelation between FAS, other NGRA systems, and holographic MIMO systems
- Industrial trials, applications, and testbed results of FAS for 6G
