EAI 6G-xCOM 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference (with an on-site possibility).
If the local situation allows it, the event will take place on-site in its original location with an option for all authors to present remotely.
In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.

Scope

6G-xCOM solicits research papers with innovative ideas or preliminary contributions to the field of 6G telecommunications. Its mission is to bring together researchers from both academic and industry to exchange early ideas and facilitate in-depth discussions for future 6G standards currently under development. This 6G-xCOM 2021 conference, is the first attempt of an annual series as one of the premier 6G forums for looking beyond 5G. The conference encourages submissions on all technical aspects of beyond 5G technologies, including but not limited to extreme communications, ubiquitous communications with always-on connectivity, intelligent networking management technologies, 6G applications.
