SUMMARY:IEEE SPAWC 2026
DESCRIPTION:SPAWC 2026 is the 27th edition of the IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing and Artificial Intelligence for Wireless Communications\, held in the centre of Athens below the Acropolis. The workshop gathers researchers working at the meeting point of signal processing\, machine learning and wireless systems\, from physical layer design to AI-native air interfaces. \nFour researchers from 6G Flagship present their work at the workshop. Mengyuan Ma presents two poster papers on multimodal sensing-aided beam management for wireless communications: one develops lightweight beam tracking through knowledge distillation\, the other applies deep reinforcement learning to intelligent sensing and beam prediction. Chathuri Weragama presents a paper on energy-efficient coordinated multipoint transmission\, combining antenna selection\, beamforming and base station sleep modes. Sina Tavakolian presents a graph neural network method for designing millimetre-wave cell-free massive MIMO beamformers from sub-6 GHz channel information\, reducing the need for explicit millimetre-wave channel acquisition. Mohammad Hatami presents a comparison of known-symbol and unknown-symbol processing in bistatic integrated sensing and communication systems\, showing that symbol knowledge brings clear gains in multi-slot coherent processing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster presenter\n \nMengyuan Ma\nPostdoctoral Researcher\,\nCentre for Wireless Communications\nUniversity of Oulu \n\nPoster presentation \nMultimodal sensing-aided beam management for wireless communications \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster presenter\n \nChathuri Weragama\nDoctoral Researcher\,\nCentre for Wireless Communications\nUniversity of Oulu \n\nPoster presentation \nJoint Antenna Selection\, Beamforming\, and Base Station Sleep for Energy-Efficient CoMP \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster presenter\n \nSina Tavakolian\nDoctoral Researcher\,\nCentre for Wireless Communications\nUniversity of Oulu \n\nPoster presentation \nBeamforming Design Via GNN in mmWave Cell-Free Massive MIMO Using Sub-6 GHz CSI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster presenter\n \nMohammad Hatami\nPostdoctoral Researcher\,\nCentre for Wireless Communications\nUniversity of Oulu \n\nPoster presentation \nBeamforming and Filter Design for Bistatic ISAC under Known and Unknown Transmit Symbols \n\n\n\n\nMore information is available on the official IEEE SPAWC 2026 website. \nSee other 6G Flagship appearances on our event calendar.

SUMMARY:17th International Conference on ICT Convergence (ICTC 2026)
DESCRIPTION:The 17th International Conference on ICT Convergence (ICTC 2026) runs from 14 to 16 October 2026 at the Sheraton Jeju on Jeju Island\, South Korea. The conference is held entirely on site. Jeju Island sits off the country’s south coast and hosts several major international conferences each year. \nThe Korean Institute of Communications and Information Sciences (KICS) organises ICTC 2026\, which brings researchers\, academics and industry professionals together to discuss developments in ICT convergence. Its programme covers communications\, networking\, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies\, including 6G\, non-terrestrial networks\, terahertz communications and digital twins. \nProfessor Mehdi Bennis represents 6G Flagship in the conference’s keynote programme. His talk\, The Road to Compositional Intelligence: Semantic Communication\, World Models\, and Compositionality\, looks at how wireless systems might exchange meaning rather than raw data\, building world models that let a network reason about a task instead of transmitting every detail. \n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote\n \nMehdi Bennis\nProfessor\, Head of ICON\, IEEE Fellow\nCentre for Wireless Communications\,\nUniversity of Oulu \n\nKeynote Oct 14th \nThe Road to Compositional Intelligence: Semantic Communication\, World Models\, and Compositionality \n\n\n\nMore information is available on the official ICTC 2026 website. \nSee other 6G Flagship appearances on our event calendar.

SUMMARY:3rd Workshop on Energy-Neutral & Sustainable IoT Devices and Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Batteryless sensing works in the laboratory. Turning it into infrastructure that an operator can depend on means designing the sensor and the radio link together\, so that a node harvests what it needs\, measures when it can\, and transmits when the channel allows. EN-IoT 2026 brings researchers from both sides of that divide into one room to work through what still stands between isolated proofs of concept and scalable\, energy-neutral sensing systems that run without maintenance. \nThe workshop is co-organised by researchers active in European IoT and 6G initiatives that address energy-neutral devices\, low-power networking\, sustainable IoT and future connectivity. Topics span energy-neutral sensors\, ultra-low-power IoT\, wireless power transfer\, ambient IoT\, TinyML and sustainable electronics\, with particular attention to the interface between the sensor and the connectivity that carries its data. \nThe half-day programme runs as three 50-minute sessions. Contributions are invited by 2 October 2026 in the form of short abstracts\, demo proposals or challenge statements\, with no full paper required. Selected submissions are condensed into a 20-minute interactive flash session. Contributions are non-archival and do not appear in the IEEE proceedings. \nMeet 6G Flagship at EN-IoT 2026\n\nOnel L. A. López\nAssociate Professor in sustainable wireless communications engineering\, Centre for Wireless Communications\, University of Oulu \nHe works on sustainable wireless systems\, energy-neutral IoT and machine-type communications\, including cellular-enabled positioning. \n\n\n\nKonstantin Mikhaylov\nAssociate Professor for Convergent IoT Communications\, Centre for Wireless Communications\, University of Oulu \nHe works on IoT wireless connectivity\, systems design and applications\, network architectures and machine-type communications. \n\n\nFull details are on the official EN-IoT 2026 workshop page. \nSee other 6G Flagship appearances on our event calendar.

SUMMARY:IEEE SENSORS@25
DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Sensors Council is holding IEEE Sensors@25 for the 25th anniversary of the IEEE SENSORS Conference\, running a single track over three days with keynotes\, panels and interactive presentations. Under its Journal-Conference Synergy initiative\, the Council invited selected IEEE Sensors Journal authors to present their papers in those interactive sessions. \nTadashi Matsumoto presents on behalf of the Centre for Wireless Communications at the University of Oulu. The paper analyses error exponents and outage probability in distributed hypothesis testing\, where a sensor encodes and transmits quantised observations over a fading channel and a decision centre rules on a hypothesis rather than reconstructing the original data. Designing the link around the decision rather than the bits speaks directly to the goal-oriented and semantic communication questions that shape how 6G networks will carry sensing traffic. Matsumoto delivers the presentation remotely. \n\n\n\n\n\nInvited presenter\n \nTadashi Matsumoto\nProfessor Emeritus\nCentre for Wireless Communications\, University of Oulu \n\nInteractive presentation \nGoal-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networks: Error Exponent and Outage Analyses With Distributed Hypothesis Testing \n\n\n\nMore information is available on the official IEEE Sensors@25 website. \nSee other 6G Flagship appearances on our event calendar.
