Content Foreword

It is the 26th edition of the WSA and the 13th edition of the SCC.

The technical program includes regular sessions on classical topics such as channel and source coding, antennas, precoding, optics, multi-dimensional spaces as well as modern timely topics such as machine learning including federated learning, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and communications and sensing. In addition, the technical program includes a set of special sessions that presents carefully selected highlights from the German 6G research hubs. These sessions touch upon Integrated Sensing and Communications, Smart Radio Environments for 6G, Satellite Communications for 6G, and Explorative Concepts for 6G Air Interface.
