The Shift to 6G Communications: Vision and Requirements
In this article, we provide a detailed overview of the 6-generation (6g) network dimensions with air interface and associated potential technologies such as artificial intelligence(ai)/machine learning (ml), quantum communication/quantum machine learning(qml), blockchain, tera--hertz and millimeter waves communication, tactile internet, non-orthogonal multiple access (noma), small cells communication, fog/edge computing, etc, as the key technologies in the realization of beyond5g (b5g) and 6g communications.
We highlight the use cases and applications of the proposed 6g networks in various dimensions.
Furthermore, we also discuss the key performance indicators (kpi) for the b5g/6g network, challenges, and future research opportunities in this domain.
