Overview
Abstract
In a quest for anything, anytime, anywhere connectivity, next-generation wireless networks are envisioned to break the boundaries of the current ground-focused paradigm and fully embrace aerial and spaceborne communications. In this talk, we will discuss the key opportunities and challenges arising from such a 3D (r)evolution by presenting some of its disruptive use-cases, reviewing recent results, and pointing to open research problems.
