Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the journey from 5G towards 6G evolution. The 5G has been built across three main application verticals as defined by ITU, namely: Enhanced Mobile Broadband, Massive Machine Type Communications and Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communications (URRLC). To support these verticals, 5G has defined the following enablers: Massive MIMO, cloudification of network infrastructure, network automation, network slicing and edge cloud computing. It is expected that 5G will provide flexibility in terms of openness, mobility, programmability and agility and robustness in a standardized manner. The journey towards 6G will describe the limitations of 5G technologies and outlines the technology enablers for 6G. These enablers include smooth integration and interworking of Non-Terrestrial Networking technologies (NTN), use of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) and use of AI to orchestrate network and cloud resources. Additionally, the paper will give an overview of 6G research initiatives at both regional and international level.
