6G Impact on Short-Range Communications and Networking

6G will Profoundly Impact Connectivity, Networking, and Short-Range Communications

In many respects, technologies and capabilities beyond 5G (B5G) represent an extension of those initiated with 5G, but in many other aspects, will be ground-breaking with 6G technology that goes beyond anything anticipated by fifth-generation wireless.

Areas that 6G will continue to build upon from 5G include:

• Service Based Architecture
• Integration of Edge Computing with Communications
• Smart Antennas and the use of MIMO and Beam-forming
• Continued focus on Hyper-fast, Ultra-low Latency Solutions

Areas that 6G will bring new challenges include:

• Extreme focus on Local Communications and Networking
• Need for Device-to-Device Signaling, Relay, and Mesh Networks
• Support of Many Micro-operators tying together Networks
