The RAIN4C workshop is organized in conjunction with the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Smart Systems (MASS 2025)
Ensuring network services in critical scenarios—such as post-disaster areas, remote rural regions, and maritime environments—is a fundamental challenge in modern wireless communications. Traditional terrestrial networks (TNs) often fail to provide reliable coverage in these settings, making the integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), including UAV swarms, drone-assisted relays, and satellite constellations, essential for next-generation connectivity.
As 6G evolves toward a three-dimensional (3D) network architecture, seamless orchestration of aerial, satellite, and terrestrial segments becomes crucial to overcoming limitations in coverage, latency, and computational capacity. The RAIN4C workshop will explore innovative strategies for joint communication, computation, and caching to enable resilient and adaptive NTN-based architectures, with a particular focus on UAV-assisted networking, drone-based edge computing, and satellite-enabled service continuity.
