Submit a Paper to the Unclassified Technical Program
The unclassified technical program provides a venue for papers and presentations that do not include ITAR-sensitive, CUI, classified, or proprietary information. EDAS will be used for all unclassified paper submissions. IEEE MILCOM 2025 welcomes submissions from researchers, inventors, and technology leaders from government, U.S. and coalition military services, industry, research laboratories, and universities. Papers with a strong emphasis on U.S. military operations should be submitted to the restricted or classified sessions. The following technical five tracks have been established for paper submission:
TRACK 1 – Waveforms and Signal Processing
Antennas & RF, Modulation & Coding, Interference Management, Spectrum Sharing and Coexistence, Cognitive and Software Defined Radio, 5G and beyond systems , Open RAN Concepts and Orchestration, Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)
TRACK 2 – Networking Protocols and Performance
Ad Hoc, Mesh, & Cooperative Networks, Mobile Edge Networks, Software-Defined Networking, Network Slicing and Virtualization, Information-Centric Networking, Network Science, Emerging Concepts, Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC), Mobile Edge Networks, 5G/6G Networks
TRACK 3 – Cybersecurity and Trusted Edge Computing
Cryptography, Key Management, Advanced Persistent Threat Detection & Mitigation, Tactical Cloud Security, Wireless Security, Multi-Level Security, Edge/Fog Computing and Networking, Zero Trust Network Security
TRACK 4 – Integrated Network Architecture and System-of-systems
Airborne Networks, Integrated UAV/Drone Networks, High Altitude Platform Systems, SATCOM and Space Networks, Multi and Cross Domain Operations, Coalition Operations, Emerging Concepts, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), Wireless Digital Twins
TRACK 5 –AI/ML for Communication and Networking
Machine Learning (ML) for Channel Estimation, Decoding and Interference Mitigation, AI/ML for Resource and Network optimization, Agentic AI at the Edge, Distributed and Federated Learning, Adversarial AI/ML, Secure AI/ML over Communication Networks, Generative AI for Synthetic Data Generation, Domain Generalization in ML models, Explainable AI, Large Language Models (LLMs)
