Special Issues

Special Issue on Information Processing and Intelligent Systems in 6G Networks Submission Date: 2026-09-15 The sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks are expected to provide ubiquitous, intelligent, and ultra-reliable connectivity for seamless human–machine–thing interactions. Achieving the ambitious goals of extreme data rates, sub-millisecond latency, enhanced energy efficiency, and native integration of sensing and computing will require artificial intelligence (AI) to serve as a foundational enabler of 6G. 6G communication is an information-centric system, for which information science constitutes the theoretical foundation, technological enabler, and paradigm-shaping framework, supporting the evolution of 6G toward intelligent, integrated, and efficient operation. Currently, the integration of AI and 6G has entered a critical phase where theoretical exploration, prototype validation, and early standardization efforts advance in parallel. Data-driven approaches have demonstrated promising potential through early prototypes and trials, yet fundamental challenges remain, including the lack of theoretical or methodological innovations in intelligent systems, principled signal processing and system frameworks, insufficient theoretical modeling of AI-native 6G, and unresolved issues in interpretability, robustness, and trustworthiness of learning-driven communication systems. Guest editors: Dr. Luping Xiang, Nanjing University, ChinaProf. Kezhi Wang, Brunel University of London, UK Dr. Mingzhe Chen, University of Miami, USA Prof. M´erouane Debbah, Khalifa University, UAE Prof. Bo Lei, China Telecom Research Institute, China Special issue information: This Special Issue seeks to gather state-of-the-art research on AI-empowered 6G networks, examining how AI, ranging from machine learning and deep learning to large foundation models and generative AI, can drive innovation in intelligent information processing methods, theoretical or methodological advances in intelligent systems, promote learning-based explainable decision-making, enable native intelligence in 6G, establish intelligence as an intrinsic network attribute, realize intelligent network automation, and unify sensing, communication, and computing. Topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Information-Theoretic Foundations of AI-Native Communication: Modeling semantic, goal-oriented, and learning-driven communication from an information-theoretic perspective. 2. Fundamental Limits and Trade-offs: Investigating the theoretical limits of integrated sensing, communication, and computation, and the trade-offs among reliability, latency, and information content in AI-driven networks. 3. Architecture of AI Agentic 6G: Autonomous AI agent frameworks , information interaction mechanisms between AI agents, agent-based zero-touch network management. 4. Statistical Learning Foundations for AI-Native Systems: Uncertainty-aware learning and decision-making, confidence calibration, out-of-distribution detection, and robust inference under limited or noisy information. 5. 6G for AI Enablement: Communication-Efficient Federated and Distributed Learning, Edge AI, Multi-Agent Collaboration and Network-Aware AI, Privacy-Preserving and Secure AI Techniques. 6. AI-Native Physical Layer: AI-generated waveforms, end-to-end learned transceivers, reinforcement learning for modulation/beamforming, semantic and goal-oriented communication. 7. AI-Enabled Network Intelligence: Radio resource management, mobility optimization, network slicing orchestration, large-model-assisted RAN control. 8. Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC): AI-based joint waveform design, radar-communication coexistence, real-time inference optimization. 9. AI for Security and Trustworthiness: Federated learning, privacy-preserving AI, adversarial robustness, explainable AI (XAI) for 6G. 10. Optimization and Control under Information Constraints: Distributed optimization frameworks for limited-information, latency-critical networks, Constrained decision-making, feedback control, and learning with partial observability. 11. Digital Twin and Automation: Predictive resource allocation, zero-touch management, autonomous fault detection. 12. Experimental Prototypes and Testbeds: Hardware-in-the-loop demonstrations, OTA trials, open-source platforms, benchmarking datasets.
