WS-15: Workshop on Short Packet Communications for 6G Mission-Critical Applications

ShortPacket-6G intends to leverage technological advancements and techniques to address fundamental, disruptive, as well as regular challenges arising in short packet communications for sixth generation (6G) mission-critical applications. In these regimes, the control commands and the device status updates are vastly transmitted with ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) requirements, which are with short block length that is comparable to the preamble length. It is difficult to appeal to coding methods in line with Shannon theorem to average out the thermal noise and channel propagation interference. We thus need to give some new fundamental theorems and related transmission mechanisms to cater to these trends. Apart from the URLLC requirements, information security/privacy are some other indispensable issues of the 6G mission-critical applications. Higher latency drawbacks due to processing procedures, redundancy bits of the current encryption/decryption mechanisms, and patch-based information security schemes turn out to be some inferior solutions. Besides, they are also invalid to intra-network attacks. Some novel information security/privacy methods that can be coalesced into the URLLC are needed.
