Next-Generation Wireless: Tracking the Evolutionary Path of 6G Mobile Communication

The mobile communications industry is lighting-fast machinery, and discussions about 6G technologies have already begun. In this article, we intend to take the readers on a journey to discover 6G and its evolutionary stages. The journey starts with an overview of the technical constraints of 5G prompting the need for a new generation of mobile systems. The initial discussion is followed by an examination of the 6G vision, use cases, technical requirements, technology enablers, and potential network architecture. We conclude the discussion by reviewing the transformative opportunities of this technology in society, businesses and industries, along with the anticipated technological limitations of the network that will drive the development of further mobile generations. Our goal is to deliver a friendly, informative, precise, and engaging narrative that could give readers a panoramic overview of this important topic.
