In particular, it covers positioning of reduced capability (RedCap) devices in 5G, timing sensitive applications in Wi-Fi 7, and aspects of ultra-high reliability under Wi-Fi 8. The topics potentially for 6G include some considerations towards software-based, multi-input-multi-output (MIMO), open radio access network (Open-RAN) architectures, several aspects for large-scale MIMO enabled satellite communications, system-level metrics for non-terrestrial networks (NTN) under a stochastic geometry framework, investigation of machine learning for radiomap (radio environmental map) estimation by integrating radio propagation models and artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning based site-specific beam alignment for 6G, analysis of the frequency range of 7–24 GHz potentially for 6G, presentation of an operator's perspective on 6G in terms of services, vision, and spectrum, and integration of sensing and localization in vehicle to everything (V2X) sidelink communications. 收起
