Prof. Xiaohu Tang gave a keynote speech titled "ZCZ Signal Design: from Theory to Applications," introducing the basic concepts and core design methods of ZCZ signals, and focusing on their practical applications in channel estimation, multiple access communications, integrated sensing and communication, and other fields. Prof. Raymond W. Yeung focused on the strict theoretical characterization of conditional mutual independence for discrete random variables, which belongs to the basic theoretical research of probability theory and information theory. Prof. Yingchang Liang discussed the information-theoretic foundations of symbiotic radios (SR), such as capacity regions and cooperative modulation design, and demonstrated their application potential in scenarios such as ambient IoT. Prof. Meixia Tao focused on the new paradigm of semantic communication beyond the traditional Shannon paradigm, sharing her team's achievements in using model-data collaborative driven semantic coding and transmission schemes to address these challenges, and offering insights into future research directions. Prof. Li Chen re-emphasized the key role of algebraic methods in modern error-correcting code design. The report pointed out that although probability-based soft decoding is extremely successful in long codes, algebraic structure and minimum distance concepts are crucial in medium and short code scenarios requiring high reliability, low latency, and low power consumption.
唐小虎教授以《ZCZ Signal Design: from Theory to Applications》为主题，介绍了ZCZ信号的基本概念、核心设计方法，并重点阐述其在信道估计、多址接入通信、通感一体化等多个领域的实际应用；杨伟豪教授以《Characterization of Conditional Mutual Independence》为主题聚焦于离散随机变量条件互独立性的严格理论刻画，属于概率论与信息论的基础理论研究。梁应敞教授以《Symbiotic Radios for Future Wireless Networks》为主题，重点讨论SR的信息论基础，如容量域和协作调制设计，并展示其在环境物联网等场景中的应用潜力；陶梅霞教授以《Towards Compatible, Explainable, and Adaptable Semantic Communications》为主题关注超越传统香农范式的语义通信新范式，分享团队利用模型与数据协同驱动的语义编码与传输方案来应对这些挑战的成果，并对未来研究方向提出见解；陈立教授以《Algebra Remains a Cradle for Improving Codes》为主题，重新强调代数方法在现代纠错码设计中的关键作用。汇报指出，虽然基于概率的软译码在长码中极其成功，但在要求高可靠、低时延、低功耗的中短码场景下，代数结构与最小距离等经典概念至关重要。
Round Table Forum
To enrich the academic exchange activities of the conference, a round table forum was specially arranged, chaired by Prof. Pingzhi Fan (IEEE / IET / CIE / CIC Fellow) from Southwest Jiaotong University. The forum members included Prof. Xiao Ma from Sun Yat-sen University, Prof. Pingyi Fan from Tsinghua University, Prof. Baoming Bai from Xidian University, Prof. Zhaoyang Zhang from Zhejiang University, and Prof. Wen Chen from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The forum focused on "6G High-Mobility Wireless Communications and Information-Theoretic Fundamental Issues," aiming to promote in-depth discussion and innovative thinking collisions in this field.
为丰富大会的学术交流活动，大会特别设置了圆桌论坛，由西南交通大学范平志教授（IEEE / IET / CIE / CIC Fellow）担任论坛主席。论坛成员包括中山大学马啸教授、清华大学樊平毅教授、西安电子科技大学白宝明教授、浙江大学张朝阳教授以及上海交通大学陈文教授。此次论坛将聚焦于“6G高移动无线通信与信息论基础问题”，旨在推动该领域的深入讨论与创新思维碰撞。
