On the afternoon of July 25th, the IEEE ComSoc WTC Air-Space-Ground Integrated Communication Series Special Report (Phase 2) was held in the form of online conference. The title of this report is "Near-Instantaneously Adaptive Coherent/Non-Coherent Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networking Science Fiction or a Pareto-Optimal Next-Generation Wireless Enabler”, lectured by Professor Lajos Hanzo from the University of Southampton, and hosted by Professor Tong Bai from Beihang University. More than 50 teachers and students from related fields participated in this report.

In the report, Prof. Hanzo firstly introduced the importance of multi-objective optimization in the air-space-ground integrated wireless communication network. Then it is mentioned that the Aeronautical Ad-Hoc Networking is an important part of the air-space-ground integrated network. Taking the routing problem in the air-space-ground integrated network as an example, the multi-objective optimization problem, which aims to minimize the latency, maximize the throughput and path lifetime, was introduced and the Pareto-front was analysed in detail.

In the question and answer session, Prof. Hanzo patiently and meticulously answered the questions raised by the teachers and students present, and conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions with the participants.
