The Next G Alliance outlined the development roadmap of 6G in a report in February 2022. It is expected that mobile network operators will adopt flexible decentralized business models for 6G, with local spectrum licensing, spectrum sharing, infrastructure sharing, and intelligent automated management underpinned by mobile edge computing, artificial intelligence (AI), short-packet communication and blockchain technologies. ĦG networks will likely be significantly faster than previous generations, are expected to be more diverse, and are likely to support applications beyond current mobile use scenarios, such as ubiquitous instant communications, pervasive intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). It is the planned successor to 5G, and is in development by numerous companies ( Airtel, Anritsu, Apple, Ericsson, Fly, Huawei, Jio, Keysight, LG, Nokia, NTT Docomo, Samsung, Vi, Xiaomi), research institutes ( Technology Innovation Institute, the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre) and countries (United States, countries in the European Union, Russia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and United Arab Emirates) that have shown interest in 6G networks. In telecommunications, 6G is the designation for a future technical standard of a sixth-generation technology for wireless communications.
