Workshop Scope

In recent years, the research and application of global Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGIN) have entered a new phase of rapid development. The 6G network will break through terrestrial limitations and expand to multi-dimensional domains, including space, air, ground, and sea. Currently, the air interface transmission for SAGIN primarily relies on radio frequency (RF) communication technologies—such as microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz—or free-space optical (FSO) communication technologies. RF and FSO exhibit complementary transmission characteristics; to overcome the limitations of relying solely on either single communication technology, the integration of these two technologies through multi-modal collaboration has become a critical technical pathway to achieve high-speed and highly reliable transmission in SAGIN. This workshop aims to bring together global experts and scholars, focusing on the field of RF/FSO multi-modal integrated communication for SAGIN. It will facilitate joint discussions on the latest research progress and explore key breakthroughs in areas including theory, devices, algorithms, system architecture, and experimental verification.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• RF/FSO devices, frontend and antenna (electrical, photonic) for SAGIN

• RF/FSO channel measurements and modeling for SAGIN

• RF/FSO joint channel estimation, tracking, and prediction in SAGIN

• RF/FSO waveform and frame structure design for SAGIN

• RF/FSO beamforming, beam tracking, and beam management for SAGIN

• RF/FSO unified performance metrics, assessment, and theoretical limits in SAGIN

• RF/FSO resource allocation, optimization and co-design for SAGIN

• RF/FSO system and algorithm design for SAGIN

• RF/FSO joint architecture design for SAGIN

• RF/FSO experiments, testbeds, prototype and applications for SAGIN
