On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the First International Conference on Future Communications and Networks, which will be held in Queenstown, New Zealand, on December 17-20, 2023.

The annual International Conference on Future Communications and Networks (FCN) is an event that aims at providing a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry to meet and exchange ideas and recent research work on all aspects of future communications and networks. FCN 2023 is the first edition of this event. The conference will present you an interesting technical program consisting of one keynote speeches, and 11 technical sessions. The keynote speech will be delivered by Dr. Qi Bi from China Telecom, China, who is a world-wide well-known expert in the field of mobile communications and networks. The invited talks and technical sessions will present original research results in the area of ad hoc networks.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the organizing committee members for their enthusiastic and great contributions to organizing this event. Without their great efforts, this conference would not have been possible. I would also like to thank all the authors who have submitted their papers and contributed their recent research results to this conference. Many thanks go to all the Future Forum staff for their active support and assistance during the entire process of organizing the event.

The city of Queenstown offers visitors a plethora of attractions and spectacular natural landscapes in the world, which truly exceeds the imagination of today’s leisure and business visitors. I hope that you will enjoy the technical program and your time at the conference. I also hope that you will take the opportunity to visit the city of Queenstown, and have a wonderful and memorable stay during the conference.

We look forward to welcoming you at FCN 2023 in Queenstown.

On behalf of the technical program committee, we are pleased to welcome you to the First International Conference on Future Communications and Networks (FCN 2023) to be held in Queenstown, New Zealand. FCN 2023 will present you an exciting technical program consisting of keynote speeches and technical sessions.

We received totally 87 submissions from many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. After a rigorous review process, 51 papers were accepted and 47 papers are finally included in the technical program. The technical program consists of 1 keynote talk and 11 technical sessions, which present recent advances in various aspects of communications and networks. In particular, the program features one keynote address on “Exploring 5G to Reach a New Height” by Dr. Qi Bi from China Telecom, China.

The technical program would not have been possible without the help of all the TPC members and external reviewers who volunteered their time and professional expertise. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them for their help. We would also like to thank all the authors for contributing their quality work, and our sponsors and partners for their support.

Finally, we hope you will enjoy the technical program and wish you all a pleasant stay at the conference and enjoy the beautify sceneries that Queenstown has to offer.
