Workshop 2: Advances in Physical Layer Security for 6G Networks
A workshop examining physical layer security in the context of 6G networks.
Conference Workshops
Workshop programme
ICT 2021 included focused workshops addressing security and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces in advanced mobile network research.
Workshop 3: Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for B5G/6G
A workshop focused on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and their role in B5G/6G research.
The ICT 2021 workshops formed a focused part of the 28th International Conference on Telecommunications, bringing specialist research conversations to the broader programme. Topics included physical layer security for 6G networks and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for B5G/6G, both closely connected to the conference emphasis on wireless communication, signal processing, coding and networking. These sessions offered space for technically detailed discussion while remaining closely tied to the wider themes of emerging network architectures and future directions in telecommunications.
Each workshop was designed around a clearly defined research area, allowing participants to engage with specialised questions in a more concentrated setting than a general conference session. The physical layer security workshop examined how security concepts can be considered within advanced mobile network research, while the reconfigurable intelligent surfaces workshop explored the role of programmable surfaces in B5G and 6G systems. Together, they illustrated the conference’s interest in innovative techniques and emerging technologies shaping connected communications.
The workshop programme complemented the wider ICT 2021 activity, which had originally been planned for London in the United Kingdom. Alongside tutorials, keynotes and technical paper presentations, the workshops created additional opportunities for researchers to exchange perspectives, refine ideas and engage with cutting-edge developments. The result was a coherent set of focused sessions that supported the conference’s commitment to sharing outstanding work and encouraging thoughtful collaboration across the telecommunications community.
