Abstract

Abstract: 5G is in the middle of its decade, 2020-2030. Based on the experience from previous mobile generations, the mid-decade point of the previous mobile generation is the starting point of work on frameworks and standards for the future mobile generation that should mark the next decade, 2030-2040, and that is 6G. Starting with 3G, the ITU defines requirements for any mobile generation as part of its framework recommendations. Similar to IMT-2000 for 3G, IMT-Advanced for 4G, IMT-2020 for 5G, ITU Radiocommunication Sector will prepare the framework for 6G called IMT-2030, where IMT stands for international mobile telecommunications. A lot of research has been done about the look of the future of 6G, and more will come in the next years, by 2030 and beyond. Considering that the only deployed 5G standard is the one from 3GPP, unlike mobile generations until 4G which had deployments of standards from multiple standard organizations in different regions across the globe, it is expected that 3GPP will also provide the main unified standard for 6G, the next mobile generation. 3GPP standardization process on 6G networks is expected to start in mid-year 2025 and worldwide commercialization around 2029–2030. This paper highlights the most promising research areas in recent literature on overall 6G trends. It discusses development and analysis of 6G mobile technology, including the benefits and challenges associated with its development.
