2024 IEEE 100th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2024-Fall) - Workshop on Channel Modeling and Propagation for Highly Mobile Communications

The global rollout of the fifth-generation (5G) of mobile cellular communications is currently underway, with the promise of revolutionizing the communications landscape by improving user experience with interactive and haptic communications, and enabling machine-oriented services that are fundamental for industry automation, intelligent transportation, e-health, and others. While the future of 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networks looks bright, the design of such networks continues to be a challenging task due to the stringent performance requirements that these networks should meet to deliver ultra-reliable and low-latency services with enhanced mobility. In particular, the optimization of the radio access network of 5G, as well as its redesign toward the transition to sixth-generation (6G) networks, call for the development of accurate channel models that capture the rapidly time-varying characteristics of mobile radio reception in highly dynamic indoor and outdoor environments.

The 2024-Fall Workshop on Channel Modeling and Propagation for Highly Mobile Communications is organized by the Technical Committee on Propagation of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society with the aim of providing a global perspective on open problems, current research trends, new results and ideas that contribute to advance the state of the art on propagation and channel modeling for wireless communications among highly mobile users in terrestrial, aerial, overwater and underwater environments.
