2026 The 8th International Conference on Video, Signal and Image Processing (VSIP)

Special Session 7: Research on Key Technologies for 6G: Towards Near-Field, High-Mobility, and Maritime Communications

Brief Description


As wireless communications evolve toward 6G, millimeter-wave technologies and extremely large-scale antenna arrays dramatically expand the near-field region, making the conventional far-field plane-wave assumption invalid. In this context, intelligent reflecting surfaces(IRS) have become a key technology for manipulating near-field electromagnetic environments. Meanwhile, high-mobility and maritime scenarios constitute extreme high-dynamic communication environments, posing fundamental challenges to link reliability. This special session focuses on near-field effects, IRS, and extreme communication scenarios, including high-dynamic and maritime environments, with the aim of advancing 6G communications under complex propagation conditions.
