Overview
The RAIN4C 2025 workshop, part of the IEEE MASS series, invites researchers to submit papers addressing the challenges of reliable aerial and satellite networks. Scheduled for October 6–8, 2025, in Chicago, USA, this workshop aims to explore innovative solutions for ensuring connectivity in critical scenarios such as post-disaster areas and remote regions.
Background & Relevance
As wireless communication technology evolves, the integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) is becoming increasingly vital. Traditional terrestrial networks often struggle to provide reliable service in challenging environments. The shift towards 6G networks emphasizes the need for a three-dimensional architecture that seamlessly incorporates aerial, satellite, and terrestrial segments. This workshop will delve into strategies for joint communication, computation, and caching, particularly focusing on UAV-assisted networking and satellite-enabled services.
