Immersive Communications Powered by ISAC and RIS Technologies
Tuesday, 3 June 2025, 9:00 – 12:30, room 1.E
Organisers:
- Pang-An Ting (ITRI, TW)
Motivation and Background
The rapid evolution of wireless communication technologies has ushered in the era of 6G, promising immersive communication experiences that will redefine how users interact with the world. Building upon the foundation of successful 5G collaborations between the EU and Taiwan in 2016, Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs facilitated a key collaboration between TAICS and 6G-IA to boost global 6G research in 2023, which paved the way for ITRI to achieve full membership in the 6G-IA, enabling increased participation in EU SNS JU projects and kicking off the collaboration with EU SNS JU 6G-SANDBOX and 6G-SENSES projects. The collaborative journey underscores the importance of international cooperation in advancing Immersive Communications.
The workshop will delve into the EU-Taiwan collaboration, especially focusing on the critical technologies such as Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS). These technologies are poised to revolutionize wireless communication, enabling enhanced connectivity, improved performance, and a wide range of innovative applications, which are essential to build an immersive communication environment.
The workshop aims to serve as a platform for sharing insights, discussing challenges, and identifying opportunities for advancing 6G technologies from concept to experimentation. By bringing together experts from academia, industry, and research institutions, the event provides a comprehensive understanding of Taiwan’s 6G research landscape, highlights key innovations, and explores the practical steps needed for deploying 6G trial networks.
