As the commercial implementations of 5G networks have been initiated in different regions of the world, the focus of the researchers is bending towards the next generation of wireless communication. We are moving toward a society of fully automated and remote management systems. The very rapid development of various emerging applications, such as artificial intelligence (Al), virtual reality, three-dimensional (3D) media, and the internet of everything (loE), has led to a massive volume of traffic. The global mobile traffic volume was 7.462 EB/month in 2010, and this traffic is predicted to be 5016 EB/month in 2030. This statistic clearly depicts the importance of the improvement of communication systems. Autonomous systems are becoming popular in every sector of society, such as industry, health, roads, oceans, and space. To provide a smart life and automated systems, millions of sensors will be embedded into cities, vehicles, homes, industries, foods, toys, and other environments. Hence, a high data-rate with reliable connectivity will be required to support these applications. In certain parts of the world, fifth generation (5G) wireless networks have already been deployed. The standardization activities of the fifth generation communications are clearly over and deployment has commenced globally. To sustain the competitive edge of wireless networks, industrial and academia synergy have begun to conceptualize the next generation of wireless communication systems (namely, sixth generation, (6G)) aimed at laying the foundation for the stratification of the communication needs of the 2030s.
This E-Collection on 6GN for Future Wireless Networks presents the vision of future 6G wireless communication and its network architecture. We discuss the emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, terahertz communications, optical wireless technology, free space optic network, Blockchain, three-dimensional networking, and quantum communications. To overcome the constraints of 5G for supporting new challenges, a sixth-generation (6G) wireless system will need to be developed with new attractive features. The key drivers of 6G will be the convergence of all the past features, such as network densification, high throughput, high reliability, low energy consumption, and massive connectivity. The 6G system would also continue the trends of the previous generations, which included new services with the addition of new technologies. The new services include Al, smart wearables, implants, autonomous vehicles, computing reality devices, sensing, and 3D mapping. The most important requirement for 6G wireless networks is the capability of handling massive volumes of data and very high-data-rate connectivity per device.
This E-collection intends to investigate the requisites of the fast establishment of the theoretical and practical measures for sixth generation (6G) wireless communication. To this end, this collection outlined the existing research works that have considered different aspects of 6G, and then based on this existing works, the future vision is established.
