Workshop on 6G Roadmap: Shaping the Future of Intelligent Connectivity
The APTYPS-2026 workshop on “6G Roadmap: Shaping the Future of Intelligent Connectivity” focused on the evolution of next-generation wireless communication beyond 5G. The event brought together telecom experts, policymakers, professionals, and engineering students to discuss the global and national roadmap for 6G and the IMT-2030 framework.
The major objectives were to understand the 6G/IMT-2030 architecture, explore global standardization and spectrum policies, learn about India's strategic 6G initiatives, and promote collaboration among academia, industry, and government.
Key Technical Areas Discussed
The technical sessions covered several emerging technologies and concepts, including:
• Terahertz (THz) communication for ultra-high-speed data transmission.
• Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS).
• Digital Twins for network simulation, optimization, and performance improvement.
• Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) for wider and seamless connectivity.
• AI/ML-enabled 6G networks for intelligent, adaptive, and automated network operations.
• Spectrum sharing and management in accordance with the ITU-R IMT-2030 framework.
Major Highlights and Learning
The workshop provided an opportunity to interact with leading telecom experts and gain practical exposure to advanced telecommunications infrastructure. The field experience at NCA-T, including interaction with academy mentors and observation of satellite communication infrastructure, helped connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications.
The workshop enhanced understanding of AI-driven 6G networks, advanced wireless technologies, spectrum policies, and India's 6G vision. It provided valuable insights into the future of intelligent connectivity, innovation, and emerging opportunities in the telecommunications sector.
The APTYPS-2026 workshop was a valuable learning experience that strengthened participants' knowledge of 6G technologies, IMT-2030 standards, AI-enabled networks, THz communication, Digital Twins, NTN, and spectrum management. The event effectively connected academic learning with current developments and future directions in telecommunications.
