Special Session 10: AI-Empowered Low-Altitude Economy Integrated Sensing, Communications, and Computing
"人工智能赋能低空经济集成传感、通信和计算"  

The low-altitude economy (LAE), driven by UAV-assisted space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGIN), IoT proliferation, and terrestrial infrastructure saturation, is emerging as a cornerstone of next-generation aerial systems. LAE transcends traditional terrestrial networks by orchestrating unmanned and manned aircraft—including UAVs and eVTOLs—to enable transformative applications such as smart logistics, precision agriculture, and emergency response. This ecosystem uniquely integrates aerial platforms as reconfigurable base stations, relays, and charging hubs, demanding ultra-reliable, low-latency integrated sensing, communications, and computing (ISAC) to address dynamic operational challenges. As 6G wireless networks evolve, artificial intelligence (AI) has become pivotal in bridging the gap between LAE’s theoretical potential and practical deployment. AI-driven ISAC frameworks synergize cognitive network optimization, federated learning-enhanced environmental perception, and adaptive edge computing to overcome spectrum scarcity, mobility constraints, and heterogeneous service requirements. For instance, multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms optimize UAV trajectory planning and spectrum allocation, while lightweight AI models deployed at the edge prioritize latency-critical tasks like collision avoidance. This workshop explores foundational principles, cutting-edge innovations, and socio-economic implications of AI-empowered 6G-ISAC for LAE. Attendees will engage with topics spanning AI-enhanced cognitive networks, federated sensing architectures, and human-in-the-loop safety protocols, supported by real-world case studies and digital twin validations. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this initiative aims to catalyze scalable, ethical, and economically viable LAE ecosystems aligned with global smart city agendas.
