Next Generation Wireless Edge Networks

Wireless access networks are no longer only about capacity and bigger pipes to the Internet. They have to cater for a wide range of applications that are not just more of the same but come with new demands and QoS/QoE requirements. And with resilience and energy efficiency gaining relevance, this even goes beyond traditional network performance metrics.

There is a large interest in mobile app paradigms such as local-first, AR/VR, industrial networks with local processing capabilities, and cyber-physical systems to improve our daily lifes. However, providing the flexibility to enable these use-cases and combinations of them is a great challenge. We believe that this will not be achieved with incremental changes, adding more knobs to the system. The scientific workshop, therefore, focuses on network structures, designs, and concepts for the next generation wireless edge networks.
