The Future of Wireless Technologies: Beyond 5G and the Path to 6G
Harish Sridharan [2] | Sangeetha Govindarajan [2]
Abstract: This research documents technologies, including the 5G to 6G transition. Mobile networks are set to 6 Gted with only voice communication in 1G and up to high - speed, low - latency, and Internet of Things connection in 5G. However, as seen below, 5G is already unable to meet future requirements apart from bars set in non - critical applications such as self - driving cars and augmented reality/virtual reality. These applications require ultra - low latency, high reliability, and even more comprehensive coverage, which 5G cannot offer, especially in areas with high population density or rural areas. Hence, the focus has moved towards the 6G through which user speed is expected to be more than 1 Tbps, latencies in the sub - millisecond, and sophisticated integration of AI. Communications at Terahertz (THz) frequency range, quantum technology, and artificial intelligence are the most promising technological factors for 6G advanced technology.6G is expected to introduce completely self - controlled systems, intelligent surroundings, and novelties such as holo - telepresence and networks controlled by artificial intelligence. In addition, 6G promises to overcome the shortcomings of 5G and improve its security and coverage, and provide a sustainable and green technology environment. That is why spectrum management, costs associated with infrastructure, and security issues remain crucial limiting factors to the advent of 6G. This paper aims to deeply understand the current 5G state, its problems, the existing technologies that will shape the further development of 6G technology, and its possible positive effect on society and the economy.
