IEEE AP-S TC3 Workshop on Propagation and Channel Modelling for Standardisation (Preliminary Program)
Location: ParkInn Hotel, Ul. Monte Cassino 2, Kraków, 31-337, Poland
15 August 2026
Session Organizers: Thomas Kürner, TU Braunschweig, Germany; Sana Salous, Durham University, UK
For standardisation and regulation, propagation and channel models are key for the development of wireless standards. Organisations where channel modelling activities are carried out are ITU-R Study Group 3, with well recognized recommendations, used by regulators and industry worldwide, while 3GPP develops channel models that are the basis for the system selection in cellular systems. Corresponding activities are carried out at IEEE 802 for the development of WiFi. For the higher frequencies in the sub-THz frequency range both the ITU SG3, ETSI ISG THz and IEEE 802.15 SC THz are working towards channel models. In this workshop speakers, which are involved in these standardisation bodies will speak about these activities and will provide an overview of future requirement.
