Movable antenna (MA)has been recently recognized as a promisingtechnologyforenhancing wirelesscommunication/sensingperformance by exploiting wireless channel spatial variation viaantenna movement at the transceiver. In this talk, we provide acomprehensive overview of MAs,including their historicaldevelopment, practical architectures and implementation methodscontemporary applications in wireless networks,as well asmathematical models, design issues and promising approaches to solvethem. Various performance advantages of MAs over conventional fixedposition antennas (FPAs)are demonstrated,in terms ofspatialdiversity/multiplexing,interference mitigation,andflexiblebeamforming. Furthermore, a general six-dimensional MA (6DMA)system is introduced, which consists of distributed antenna arrays thatcan be independently adjusted in terms of 3D position and 3D rotationto achieve the greatest flexibility in antenna movement.
