2. Non-coherent approaches for ultra-massive MIMO (HIRED)

3. Very low complexity implementations of ultra-massive MIMO (HIRED)

4. Channel estimation and tracking aided by positioning (HIRED)

5. mm-Wave positioning and sensing for aerial-user applications (HIRED)

6. Clutter characterization and cancellation in MIMO sensing via backscattered signals (HIRED)

7. AI-native procedures and protocols for Ultra Massive MIMO (HIRED)

8. Joint positioning and spatial resource allocation for cell free systems (HIRED)

9. Machine Learning methods for Cell-free systems in 6G networks (HIRED)

10. Positioning and tracking of non-connected objects for vehicular safety with mmW frequencies (HIRED)

11. Extrapolating channel models for ultra-massive MIMO using sparse measurement data (HIRED)

12. Sensing bounds and algorithms for perceptive cell-free networks with hybrid intelligent surfaces

13. Mid-band channel characterization for joint communication and sensing

14. Machine learning based environment awareness for enhanced communication and sensing

15. UE aspects of ultra-massive MIMO (HIRED)
