Special Session 6. Space-Air-Ground Integrated Communication Networks

Submit via easychair and select Special Session 6

• The Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network (SAGIN) is emerging as a cornerstone of next-generation global connectivity, bridging terrestrial 5G/6G systems with non-terrestrial platforms including LEO/MEO/GEO satellites, high-altitude platforms, and UAV swarms. This special session focuses on the key technologies that enable seamless interoperability, intelligent resource orchestration, and ultra-reliable communications across these heterogeneous domains. Topics of interest span network architecture and protocol design, AI-driven mobility management and handover, integrated sensing and communication, multi-tier edge computing and caching, as well as security and resilience mechanisms for multi-domain environments. We invite original contributions addressing theoretical advances, algorithmic innovations, and system-level solutions that push forward the state of the art in SAGIN. Both foundational research and experimental studies are welcome.
