Topics of Interest
In order to meet the immensely higher data rate, reliability, and traffic demands in the future 5G-Advanced communications, novel communication frameworks are rapidly emerging to fully utilize the electromagnetic waves, including holographic MIMO, extremely large antenna arrays, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, etc. The ultimate limitation of the channel capacity and the ways to achieve this capacity are two fundamental questions in the system design. However, current design and performance analysis methods are usually based on the scalar-quantity, far-field, planar-wavefront, monochromatic and other nonphysically-consistent assumptions, which may cause mismatch between the system design and the realistic propagation environment.
To solve this problem, the emerging electromagnetic information theory (EIT) is proposed and has attracted increasing interests from both academia and industry. By integrating the statistical information theory with the deterministic electromagnetic theory, it is able to build a more physically consistent communication model and establish more fundamental limitations on the communication systems. It is expected that EIT will bring brand new theoretical analysis and system design paradigms to the future wireless communications.
While research into EIT for the future wireless communications are still in the early stage, this workshop calls for contributions on the following topics of interest, including but not limited to:
EIT based Theoretical Analysis
Channel capacity analysis
Degree of freedom of the time, frequency, and spatial domain
