Special Session 16: Advanced Technologies and Emerging Techniques for Satellite Aerial Terrestrial Integrated Networks

This workshop focuses on advanced satellite technologies and emerging techniques for satellite aerial terrestrial integrated networks (SATINs), which are widely recognized as a key enabler for 6G and beyond wireless communications systems. It aims to bring researchers, engineers, and practitioners to address critical challenges in network architecture, multi-beam satellite transmission, inter-satellite networking, resource allocation, interference management, and security. Topics include advanced multiple access schemes, RIS-assisted communications, UAV trajectory optimization, and anti-jamming techniques tailored for integrated networks. The workshop welcomes original contributions covering theoretical analysis foundations, algorithm development and practical implementations, fostering discussions on the design, optimization, and standardization of next-generation SATIN systems.
