2021 - WORKSHOP ON EXTREME URLLC TOWARDS 6G CONNECTIVITY

As it is known, the number of connected devices and data traffic is exponentially increasing as time goes, and future data-intensive applications, (such as holographic communications, autonomous driving, high-precision manufacturing, and ultra-massive machine-type communications, etc.,) would demand high-throughput, extremely ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (Extreme URLLC) with high energy efficiency. Recently, more and more research efforts have been dedicated to Extreme URLLC toward 6G connectivity to provide massive ubiquitous connections for anyone and anything with high-data rate irrespective of time and location. To approach this challenging goal, various technologies are being investigated and experimented. Hence it is important to have a timely workshop that will provide an opportunity to allow industry stakeholder, technical experts, and scientific researchers to share and discuss the different viewpoints through peer-reviewed papers in addition to invited papers. The objective of this workshop is to share the research findings of Extreme URLLC in all aspects and advance the state-of-the-art of future 6G networks. There are many open issues which should be discussed here, e.g.,
What are the extreme URLLC impacts to the 6G connectivity?
What are the enabling techniques required by extreme URLLC?
How to achieve the goal of extreme URLLC with energy efficiency?
