KTH-Aachen Wireless Networking Workshop

SweWIN, in collaboration with Digital Futures, organized the first Wireless Networking Workshop between KTH Royal Institute of Technology and RWTH Aachen University. The event, that happened on August 20, 2025, took place in the Digital Futures hub at the KTH campus and saw the participation of 43 people. It brought together researchers for a day of discussion on the future of wireless networking. The talks covered critical and emerging topics in 6G and beyond.

The workshop opened with Gabor Fodor (Ericsson & KTH), who presented on the design aspects of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)  systems. Following him, Ljiljana Simić from RWTH discussed the move toward environment-aware Radio Resource Management (RRM)  for 6G, emphasizing the central role of data in this new paradigm. The final talk was given by the SWEWIN center director, Emil Björnson, who posed a thought-provoking question about the security implications of reconfigurable surfaces , specifically whether we should be concerned about their malicious or uncontrolled use. The discussions highlighted key technological and security challenges for the next generation of wireless networks.
