6G approaches

Even if the initial 5G networks have hardly started becoming commercially available gradually as of 2019 and their large-scale deployment is still years away, industry is already keen to envision the forthcoming generation. While there are no concrete 6G standards produced yet, their planning will benefit from realistic indications of the requirements and type of usage. The task is not straightforward as users, including a variety of verticals with their rather different communication environments, are sometimes not capable of expressing their future needs in technical terms nor industry might be able to prognosticate the demand that has not yet equivalence in preceding systems.

My recent publication “On 6G Visions and Requirements” (Journal of ICT Standardization) summarizes some of the visions of key standardization bodies and assesses indications of the industry for the potential requirements, service types, use cases, and architectural and functional models that can serve as a building block for the actual realization of the visions.

​I hope you’ll find this useful source to explore 6G further!
