Speech Title: Key Technologies and Prototype Design for Integrated Sensing and Communications
Abstract: In the future, millions of base stations (BSs) and billions of users (UEs) will natively build an integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) system, which can utilize intelligent ubiquitous methods to realize the ultimate goal of sensing, i.e., constructing the global mapping from real physical world to digital twin world, while providing communications services at the same time. For this purpose, we conduct a series of theoretical and technical researches on ISAC, in which we decompose the real physical world into static environment, dynamic targets, and various object materials. The ubiquitous static environment occupies the vast majority of the physical world, for which we design static environment reconstruction (SER) scheme to obtain the layout and point cloud information of static buildings. The dynamic targets floating in static environments create the spatiotemporal transition of the physical world, for which we design comprehensive dynamic target sensing (DTS) scheme to detect, estimate, track, image and recognize the dynamic targets in real-time. The object materials enrich the electromagnetic laws of the physical world, for which we develop object material recognition (OMR) scheme to estimate the electromagnetic coefficient of the objects. Finally, based on these theoretical researches, we build an ISAC hardware prototype platform working in millimeter wave frequency band, realizing high-precision SER, DTS, and basic OMR, which provides preliminary verification for building the digital twin for communications networks.

Speech Title: Beyond 5G towards a Super-connected World
Abstract: Connected smart objects, platforms and environments have been identified as the next big technology development, enabling significant society changes and economic growth. The entire physical world will be connected to the Internet, referred to as Internet of Things (IoT). The intelligent IoT network for automatic interaction and processing between objects and environments will become an inherent part of areas such as electricity, transportation, industrial control, utilities management, healthcare, water resources management and mining. Wireless networks are one of the key enabling technologies of the IoT. They are likely to be universally used for last mile connectivity due to their flexibility, scalability and cost effectiveness. The attributes and traffic models of IoT networks are essentially different from those of conventional communication systems, which are designed to transmit voice, data and multimedia. IoT access networks face many unique challenges that cannot be addressed by existing network protocols; these include support for a truly massive number of devices, the transmission of huge volumes of data burst in large-scale networks over limited bandwidth, and the ability to accommodate diverse traffic patterns and quality of service (QoS) requirements. Some IoT applications have much stringent latency and reliability requirements which cannot be accommodated by existing wireless networks. Addressing these challenges requires the development of new wireless access technologies, underlying network protocols, signal processing techniques and security protocols. In this talk, I will present the IoT network development, architecture, key challenges, requirements, potential solutions and recent research progress in this area, particularly in 5G and beyond 5G.

Speech Title: Multi Agent Edge Computing Assisted Efficient Resource Management in Collaborative Satellite and Terrestrial Systems
Abstract: The space-ground integrated network, empowered by multi-agent collaboration, is an emerging architectural paradigm designed to accommodate diverse services and applications in next-generation networks. This technical report proposes a three-dimensional space-air-ground omnidirectional network architecture targeting comprehensive requirements across marine, aerospace, and terrestrial domains. The envisioned system guarantees continuous global coverage while supporting heterogeneous service demands spanning telecommunications, navigation, IoT, and sensing-control integration. From a multi-agent system perspective, this keynote address presents three pivotal innovations. An intelligent computing framework for optimized resource orchestration in satellite-terrestrial ecosystems. Moreover, a converged 6G network architecture integrating communication, sensing, storage, and computing capabilities within SAGIN (Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks). Furthermore, a novel edge-core collaborative model deploying LEO satellites and mobile terminals as distributed intelligent agents. The proposed methodology advances resource management paradigms for space-ground converged networks through three key enhancements. Dynamic resource virtualization across orbital and terrestrial strata, AI-driven quality-of-experience optimization for multi-service provisioning and distributed decision-making mechanisms balancing central coordination and edge autonomy. This research provides transformative insights for next-generation network infrastructure development, offering implementable solutions that bridge theoretical innovation with practical deployment considerations. The proposed architecture demonstrates significant potential in advancing global connectivity frameworks and accelerating the realization of ubiquitous intelligent networking.

Speech Title: System Prototype and Physical Waveform Enhancement
Abstract: Against the backdrop of the continuous deepening of 5G commercialization and the accelerated advancement of 6G research and development, wireless communication scenarios are becoming increasingly diversified. From dense urban areas to remote mountainous regions, and from ground communication to air-space-ground integrated communication, the channel environment exhibits strong dynamics and complexity, with electromagnetic interference becoming increasingly severe, posing higher requirements for the stability and reliability of communication systems.
The existing single-carrier system, although showing advantages in certain specific scenarios, has limitations in high spectral efficiency and multi-user access; the OFDM system, despite being widely used, has exposed deficiencies in anti-interference and high-frequency band adaptability.
This conference theme report will focus on these challenges, conduct an in-depth analysis of the technical characteristics and application bottlenecks of single-carrier and OFDM systems. On this basis, it will focus on exploring the innovative directions of new physical layer waveform systems and the core methods of transform-domain waveform design and processing. The report is committed to improving the adaptability of communication systems to complex channels through technological innovation, overcoming key technologies such as anti-interference transmission, and combining experimental verification to demonstrate the effectiveness of new systems and methods in practical applications, providing strong support for the development of next-generation communication technologies.
