Description:
The track on Emerging Topics in Networking will bring together researchers who are working at the cutting edge of wireless communication, particularly those involving non-traditional communication paradigms. Possible topics of interest are intra-body and implanted networks; wireless networks on chip; quantum communication networks; ultra-broadband communications at true terahertz frequencies; and non-terrestrial and space networks. Contributions that leverage the application of AI tools and methods to improve communications are also welcome, as long as they are aligned to one of these application domains. Works on topics that are physically sound but for which the technology might not be ready yet are expected in this session, including early concept papers with high-risk high-reward ideas.
• Emerging ultra-high speed and/or ultra-low power PHY/MAC technologies
• Intra-body/implanted networks
• Molecular communications
• Electromagnetic nanonetworks
• Nano-bio interfaces (e.g., optogenetics, optogenomics, brain-machine interfaces)
• Wireless networks on-chip (e.g., graphene antennas, silicon photonics, hyperthreading protocols)
• Big data analytics and data-driven designs for future networking protocols
• Quantum communications and networking (including on-chip wired and wireless links)
• True Terahertz networks
• Intelligent wireless spectrum management systems
• Intelligent reflecting surfaces (e.g., from metasurfaces to orchestration protocols)
• Non-terrestrial and space networks
• Disruptive concepts for the Future Internet
• AI-driven wireless communications and networking
• Semantic communications
• Optical Networking
