However, 5G will not meet all requirements of the future in 2030 and beyond and sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks are expected to provide global coverage, enhanced spectral/energy/cost efficiency, better intelligence level and security, etc. To meet these requirements, 6G networks will rely on new enabling technologies, i.e., air interface and transmission technologies and novel network architecture, such as waveform design, multiple access, channel coding schemes, multi-antenna tech- nologies, network slicing, cell-free architecture, cloud/fog/edge computing, etc. Our vision on 6G is that it will have four new paradigm shifts. First, to satisfy the requirement of global coverage, 6G will not be limited to terrestrial communication networks, which will need to be complemented with non-terrestrial networks such as satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication networks, thus achieving a space-air- ground-sea integrated communication network. Second, all spectra will be fully explored to further increase data rates and connection density, including the sub-6 GHz, millimeter wave (mmWave), terahertz (THz), and optical frequency bands. Third, facing the big datasets generated by the use of extremely heterogeneous networks, diverse communication scenarios, large numbers of antennas, wide bandwidths, and new service requirements, 6G networks will enable a new range of smart applications with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies. Fourth, network security will have to be strengthened when developing 6G networks. This article provides a comprehensive survey of recent advances and future trends in these four aspects. Clearly, 6G with additional technical requirements beyond those of 5G will enable faster and further communications to the extent that the boundary between physical and cyber worlds disappears. Keywords 6G, vision, network architecture, air interface and transmission technologies, space-air-ground- sea integrated network, full-spectrum, artificial intelligence, network security.

  • 6G Fundamentals: Vision & Enabling Technologies
    6G Fundamentals: Vision & Enabling Technologies Towards Trustworthy Solutions & Resilient Systems Author: David Soldani Published by 6GWorld, 15 June 2021 Link:https://www.6gworld.com/latest-research/6g-fundamentals-vision-and-enabling-technologies/ Reference number: 6GW02 Page | 1 6G Gains Momentum While the next generation of mobile connectivity still lies roughly a decade ahead, the number of 6G initiatives ongoing globally, and corresponding investments provide an intriguing prospect for the future. Public and private sectors have already started investing in research and innovation (R&I) actions to tackle requirements that 6G will probably demand when it reaches commercial reality around 2030 (Castro, 2021, 5G Americas, 2021b). These include use cases promised in 5G networks but not yet realised, and more advanced scenarios that are emerging in the context of next generation/6G networks such as Terahertz frequencies, holoportation, tactile/haptic communications, ubiquitous services (land, air, space, sea), medical/health services, government/national security, imaging and sensing, first responder/emergency services, cyber-physical systems/manufacturing, and transportation services. Some examples of relevant use cases and corresponding technology requirements are shown in Figure 1 (5G Americas, 2021b). For more information and other usage scenarios towards 6G, the reader may refer to, e.g., (6G Flagship, 2021a, 6GIC Vision, 2021). Specific international efforts by leading nations in the wireless cellular industry and relevant Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G initiatives and related investments are illustrated in Figure 2. In Europe, within the EU Horizon 2020 R&I framework programme, three recent joint projects focused on 6G development have been announced: Hexa-X, RISE-6G, and NEW-6G.

In order to maximize the investment return, it is important to find out, for this C-RAN segment, which technologies provide cost-effective solutions. This paper addresses this issue by evaluating and comparing the performance of Microwave Radio Transmission (MRT), Free Space Optics (FSO), and Fiber Optics (FO) technologies when applied to the fronthaul. First, a methodology is provided to determine the most cost-effective solution for each RRH–BBU link, as well as to compute the required number of BBUs and where they should be positioned in order to minimize the overall network costs. Next, a cost-effectiveness comparison of the aforementioned communication technologies is presented for individual fronthaul segments under different weather conditions, link lengths, and bit rate requirements. Moreover, an assessment is performed regarding the impact of the RRH density on the selection of cost-effective communication technologies for C-RANs.
