Workshop on HRLLC in 6G

Motivation of the Workshop

We stand on the cusp of the sixth generation of mobile networks, and the evolution of communication technologies is moving towards a future where connectivity is not just about speed but also about precision, reliability, and ultra-low latency. It is widely known that 5G URLLC address some urgent and basic needs on ultra-reliable and low-latency communications. However, as the informatics in industry develops, industrial, rich media entertainment, etc. services become increasingly reliant on real-time data and immediate responses, the need for a communication infrastructure that can support these demands grows rapidly. HRLLC is poised to be the backbone of critical applications such as autonomous vehicles, remote surgery, industrial automation, and tactile internet, which require not just high-speed data transfer but also absolute reliability and minimal delay. The "HRLLC in 6G" workshop aims to delve into the heart of these advancements, providing a platform for discussing the latest research, innovations, and practical applications in the field.

Call for Papers

This workshop solicits papers in all aspects to enable HRLLC in 6G. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Fundamental trade-offs, performance limits, and theoretical bounds for 6G HRLLC KPIs
Cyber-physical network systems for 6G HRLLC
Deep/reinforcement learning for diverse quality-of-service guarantee in HRLLC
Predictive resource allocation and scheduling techniques for HRLLC
Network slicing for HRLLC services
Joint communication and sensing for HRLLC
Semantics-aware and goal-oriented communications for HRLLC
HRLLC in critical infrastructure networks (e.g., smart grid and vehicular networks)
HRLLC in non-terrestrial networks
Networked autonomous aerial, terrestrial, and underwater systems for HRLLC
Real-world deployments, experiments, prototypes, and testbeds for HRLLC validation

Instructions for Authors

Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera ready format (double column, 10pt font) and must be submitted via EasyChair as PDF file (formatted for 8.5×11 inch paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages including all figures/tables and references. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or been under consideration elsewhere (conference or journal). Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s) with postal and email address(es) and phone number(s). Changes to the paper titles and author names, as well as the other metadata, are only permitted before the paper submission deadline (NO changes are allowed after submission deadline). NO titles and author name changes are allowed in the camera-ready version. The workshop program committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere.

Paper Submission Terms and Conditions

Authors understood that the submission is original and has not been submitted to other venue or under consideration by other venues.
Paper titles and/or author names cannot be changed and/or added to the papers after the submission deadline (including the final camera-ready manuscript).
If the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register/pay at full rate and present it in person at the conference. Accepted/registered/paid paper(s) but not presented onsite by author(s) (for any reason, including visa issues, travel problems, etc.) will be published in the conference proceedings only (not in the IEEE Xplore). We strongly encourage that all authors of accepted papers apply for entry visa to Japan in case one author (registered/paid author) cannot attend the ICCCN 2025.
