When
October 07-09, 2025
Introduction
Considering feedback from the inaugural 3GPP meeting in Korea in March, the 3GPP Plenary in June and decisions made on the 6G Study scope of R20. Sharing viewpoints and perspectives on the challenges and opportunites ahead. Exploring how the emerging view of 6G use cases and innovation will drive network requirements and necessary technologies. Considering some of the envisioned use cases for integrated sensing from basestations, evolutionary and revolutionary movements, including cloudification, sustainability, sub-THz IoT sensing and more. CPE/FWA Optimization for FR1/FR3 in evolution to 6G, positioning technologies integrated with communications, 6G FR3 regional regulatory requirment updates, spectrum timing and emmissions specifications. Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS); Integrated Sensing And Communications (ISAC): What can we realistically expect and in which time frame? What are the constraints in terms of frequency band and bandwidth to deliver these use cases, and thus, their feasibility domain? What is the expected impact on network capacity? How can sensing be used to improve network performance/efficiency?
Workshop Goals
- Assessing progress, status and next steps for 6G: What can we realistically expect and in which time frame?
- Understanding constraints, frequency band and bandwidth demands to deliver identified use cases, and thus their feasibility.
- Exploring potential for increased network capacity, performance and efficiency.

For ALL IWPC members:
All IWPC members are invited to submit materials to be included in the online workshop folder in the IWPC Research Library. This should NOT BE SALES MATERIALS. Rather, we suggest it contain technical information about your technology as it relates to the workshop topics.
For all companies who will be making a presentation at the Workshop:
You are invited to submit an advance copy of your presentation, complete with graphics and illustrations. Please use PowerPoint 16:9 format and embed .mp4 videos if you have them. Please do not use .wmv, .avi or other video format, .mp4 only. No proprietary markings please. Do not include any pages or images that require going online or have security requirements. Everything needs to be embedded in the file and unprotected. The laptop that will display the presentations during the workshop is not connected to the internet so external links to YouTube or anywhere else will not work. All content must run locally in PowerPoint.
These materials will be included on the IWPC website Research Library for member access in PDF format.
