Abstract

As a key paradigm for 6G and beyond, Space–Air–Ground Integrated Networks (SAGINs) are propelling mobile wireless systems toward global coverage and ubiquitous intelligence. The deep convergence of terrestrial, aerial, and satellite components introduces unprecedented challenges for radio access network (RAN) design, particularly in terms of highly dynamic topology, heterogeneous links, and cross-domain coordination. Traditional RAN architectures and technologies are no longer sufficient to ensure efficient spectrum utilization, seamless connectivity, and unified management across such diverse layers. Therefore, developing Space–Air–Ground Integrated RAN (SAGI-RAN) with intelligent adaptation and cross-layer coordination is of great importance to realize a truly integrated and resilient 6G access infrastructure. This track aims to investigate enabling communication and computation technologies for RAN control and service orchestration under SAGIN dynamics. The goal of this track is to advance intelligent, flexible, and scalable RAN architectures that can fully unleash the potential of SAGIN connectivity and enable ubiquitous service delivery for emerging 6G applications.

Content

The scope of this track encompasses Space-Air-Ground Integrated RAN (SAGI-RAN) technologies, with a main focus on enabling CSI acquisition and prediction, cooperative beamforming, link adaptation, interference mitigation, and mobility control under complex multi-domain network conditions. We invite original, completed, and unpublished research that is not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • SAGIN channel measurement, estimation, and prediction
  • Adaptive link management and cross-domain link adaptation
  • Cooperative beam control for SAGIN
  • Interference mitigation and dynamic spectrum coordination
  • Mobility management across space–air–ground tiers
  • AI-native RAN deployment, orchestration, and self-optimization
  • Multi-agent learning and distributed RAN intelligence
  • Task-aware radio resource allocation and scheduling
  • Edge-intelligent control and computation offloading in SAGIN
  • Experimental platforms and validation for SAGI-RAN
