Evolution of Wireless Communication Networks from 5G to 6G: Future Perspective

Abstract

Industry 4.0 relies heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing (CC), both of which have been greatly aided by the 5-generation mobile network (5G). However, the arrival of 5G, is seen as a watershed moment that will radically alter the current global trends in wireless communication practices and the lives of the masses. 5G envisions a future where the digital and physical worlds merge. The 6th-generation (6G) wireless communication network will likely unite terrestrial, aerial, and maritime communications into a single, unified system that is both more stable and faster and can accommodate a far larger number of devices with ultra-low latency needs. The purpose of this research is to foresee a scenario in which 6G supersedes 5G as the dominant standard for wireless communication in the years to come. Several advances have been made, but the desired instantaneous global communication and computation with no latency has not arrived yet. In this paper, there are represented the most significant obstacles and difficulties that the transition from 5G to 6G can encounter on the way to realizing these loftier goals. The main purpose of “technology for humanity” is to improve service to the world’s most disadvantaged people, and this paper lays out a plan for 6G that includes the enabling technology infrastructures, obstacles, and research directions that will get us there.
