We are pleased to invite your submissions for the 4th edition of the International Conference on 6G Networking (6GNet 2025), which will be held in Paris, France, from December 17 to 19, 2025!

Discussions on 6th Generation (6G) networks have already started in standardisation at the 3rd Generation partnership project (3GPP), envisaging first 6G specifications by 2030. In parallel, research on 6G is accelerating with multiple initiatives worldwide producing more proof-of-concepts and trial. Simultaneously, the future of network traffic is becoming unusually uncertain and network traffic forecasts are disrupted by two recent phenomena : the tremendous development of novel services everyday driven by AI, Generative AI and Agentic AI, and at the same time, the recent efforts of large traffic generators such as video content providers to optimise video codecs and reduce traffic whilst protecting the end-to-end Quality of Experience (QoE). As a consequence, business-as-usual exponential traffic growths are challenged. Additionally, there is a growing concern to take into account the lessons learnt from 5G, which is still struggling to be monetized in may territories. A development of 6G networks that is sustainable economically, societally and environmentally, including minimum hardware refresh is desirable. Last but not least, network features can now be considered as APIs by Application software developpers to build services.

In such highly dynamic context, 6G networking is a tremendous opportunity to investigate and foster research in areas like network Ai-driven traffic modelling, network for AI, network APIs for future services, the need for massive digital inclusion and stronger robustness against attacks of any kind, among other challenging topics like global network automation (AI for network), delivery and operation. 6G networking may also be seen as a true convergence point where the distinction between fixed and mobile infrastructures would not make sense anymore. The research effort in this area of convergence has ignited for quite some time but dramatically progressed with 5G techniques, possibly combined with others like advanced forwarding schemes (multi-path communication designs) or AI/ML-fueled network automation. This third 6G conference therefore aims at assessing the progress of the various research efforts in areas that will forge 6G networks.

The 6GNet conference will bring together top-notch experts from academia and industry, including network operators, to stimulate discussions, introduce new ideas and thereby contribute to the progress of 6G networking research.

We invite authors to submit original contributions in all areas of 6G networks and networks for 2030 and beyond.

Submission guidelines

6G Network 2025 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals. All Papers submitted to 6G Networking 2025 will be assessed based on originality, technical soundness, clarity and interest to a wide audience.

Technical papers can be of two types: full papers and short papers.

Full papers will not exceed 9 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures and references.
Short papers should not exceed 5 pages (11-point font) including tables, figures and references.
All Submissions must be written in English, and must use standard IEEE two-column conference template, available for download from the IEEE website:
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all submissions must be done electronically through EDAS using the following link: https://edas.info/N33914

Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a thorough single-blind review process.

Authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version in Annals of Telecommunications, a Springer Journal.
