Reshaping 6G: From Channel to Content
- RISTA CUTTING EDGE FORUM Season 5 Session 16
- Time：8pm - 9pm, October 9th, 2026

The evolution toward 6G marks a paradigm shift in the field of communications, where the core focus has moved beyond the mere transmission of bits toward a deep convergence of communication, sensing, computing, and intelligence. To realize this vision, a full-stack reinvention is needed: channel models must accurately characterize specific propagation environments, air interface transmission must be intelligently adaptive, and content delivery must emphasize semantics rather than raw data alone. In this talk, we will present our research progress towards reshaping 6G from channel to content. First, we will introduce an AI-enabled channel modeling method GeNeRT and the low-altitude multimodal wireless dataset LAMBDA, which together establish a digital twin foundation for channel modeling. Second, we will present AirFM-DDA, a wireless-native foundation model operating in the delay-Doppler-angle domain. Finally, focusing on the new paradigm of content delivery that goes beyond bits, we will discuss digital semantic coding and generative semantic communication.
Meixia Tao is a Professor with the School of Information Science and Electronic Engineering and an Associate Dean with the Research Institute of Low-Altitude Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. Her research interests include wireless edge learning, semantic communications, integrated communication-computing-sensing, AI-based channel modeling and beamforming. She has published over 300 peer-reviewed research papers in these areas. Prof. Tao has received several awards and recognitions, including the First Prize in Natural Science from the Shanghai Municipality, the IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award, and the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Award for Best Communications Letters. Prof. Tao is currently a Vice-Chair of the Information Theory Society of the Chinese Institute of Electronics and a member of the IEEE ComSoc GITC committee. Previously she served as a member of the Steering Committee of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. She also served as the TPC Co-Chair of IEEE ICC 2023 and IEEE WCNC 2026. She is a Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow of China Institute of Communications (CIC).
