ABSTRACT
The demand for wireless connectivity has grown exponentially over the last few decades. Fifth-
generation (5G) communications, with far more features than fourth-generation communications,
will soon be deployed worldwide. A new paradigm of wireless communication, the sixth-
generation (6G) system, with the full support of artificial intelligence, is expected to be
implemented between 2027 and 2030. Beyond 5G, some fundamental issues that need to be
addressedarehighersystemcapacity,higherdatarate,lowerlatency,highersecurity,andimproved quality
of service (QoS) compared to the 5G system. This paper presents the vision of future 6G wireless
communication and its network architecture. This article describes emerging technologies such as
artificial intelligence, terahertz communications, wireless optical technology, free-space optical
network, blockchain, three-dimensional networking, quantum communications, unmanned aerial
vehicles, cellfree communications, integration of wireless information and energy transfer,
integrated sensing and communication, integrated accessbackhaul networks, dynamic network
slicing, holographic beamforming, backscatter communication, intelligent reflecting surface,
proactive caching, and big data analytics that can assist the 6G architecture development in
guaranteeing the QoS. Besides, expected applications with 6G communication requirements and
possible technologies are presented. We also describe potential challenges and research directions
for achieving this goal.

INTRODUCTION
The rapid development of various emerging applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI),
virtualreality (VR), three-dimensional(3D) media, and the internet of everything(IoE),has led to a
massive volume of traffic .The global mobile traffic volume was7.462EB/month in2010,andthis
traffic is predicted to be5016 EB/month in 2030. This statistic shows the importance of improving
communication systems. We are heading toward a society of fully automated remote management
systems. Autonomous systems are becoming popular in all areas of society, including industry,
health, roads, oceans, and space. In this regard, millions of sensors are integrated into cities,
vehicles, homes, industries, food, toys, and other environments to provide a smart life and
automated systems. Hence, a highdata-rate with reliable connectivity will be required to support
these applications. In certain parts of the world, fifthgeneration (5G) wireless networks havealready
been deployed. By 2020, 5G is expected to be fully used worldwide. 5G networks will not have the
capacity to deliver a completely automated and intelligent network that provides everything as a
service and a completely immersive experience. Although the 5G communication systems will
offer significant improvements over the existing systems, they will not be able tofulfill the demands
of future emerging intelligent and automation systems after ten years. The 5G network will provide
new features and provide a better quality of service (QoS) compared tofourth-generation (4G)
communications. 5G technology includes several new additionaltechniques, such as new frequency
bands (e.g., millimeter-wave (mmWave) and optical spectra), advanced spectrum usage and
management, and the integration of licensed and unlicensed bands . Nevertheless, the fast growth
of data-centric and automated systems may exceed the capabilities of 5G wireless networks. 5G
communication considerably overlooked the convergence of communication, intelligence, sensing,
control, and computing functionalities.However, future IoE applications will necessitate this
convergence. Specific devices, such as VR devices, need to go beyond 5G (B5G) because they
require a minimum of 10 Gbps data rates.
Hence, with 5G reaching its limits in 2030, the design goals for its next step are already being
explored inliterature. New items thatmay require sixth-generation (6G)system include (i)massive
man-machine interfaces, (ii) ubiquitous computing among local devices and the cloud, (iii) multi
sensory data fusion to create multi-verse maps and different mixed-reality experiences,and
(iv) precision in sensing and actuation to control the physical world . To reach the goal of 6G andto
overcome the constraints of 5G for supporting new challenges, B5G wireless systems will need to
be developed with new attractive features. The 6G communication networks will fulfill the laggings
of 5G system by introducing new synthesis of future services such as ambient sensing intelligence
and new human-human and human-machine interaction, apervasive introduction of AI

The 6G system would also continue the trends of the previous generations, which included new
services with the addition of new technologies. The new services include AI, smart wearables,
implants, autonomous vehicles, computing reality devices, sensing, and 3D mapping. The most
critical requirement for 6G wireless networks is the capability of handling massive volumes of data
and very high-data-rate connectivity per device .
The5Gparadigm willbefurther developed andexpanded in6G.However, the6Gsystem will
increase performance and maximize user QoS several folds more than 5G, along with someexciting
features. Itcan protect thesystem, secureuser data, and providecomfortable services [12]. The 6G
communication system is expected to be a global communication facility. It is envisioned that the
per-user bit rate in 6G will be approximately 1 Tbps in many cases, The 6G system is expected to
provide simultaneous wireless connectivity that is 1000 times higher than 5G. Moreover, ultra-
long-range communication with less than 1ms latency is also expected [14]. The most exciting
feature of 6G is the inclusion of fully supported AI for driving autonomous systems. Video-type
traffic is likely to be dominant among various data traffic systems in 6G communications. Themost
important technologies that willbe thedriving forcefor6G are theTHz band, AI, optical wireless
communication (OWC), 3D networking, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), IRS, and wireless
power transfer. This paper tried to provide a complete overview of the future 6G communication
system considering current trends and efforts by researchers around the world. Some other articles
also addressed related issues discretely. However, we provide an overview of technologies, use
cases, requirements, and challenging issues within this article. Although it is quite impossible to
identify every detail of 6G during the current time frame, we believe that this paper will give a right
direction for future researchers.
The contributions of this paper can be summarized as follows:
● The trends of increasing wireless connectivity and mobile data are briefly discussed.
● Possible way store ach the 6G communication system are addressed.
● Expected service requirements for 6G communication are discussed.
● The expected 6G communication system is briefly compared with 4G and 5G systems.

IEEE,vol.109,no.7,pp.1166-1199,July2021,doi:10.1109/JPROC.2021.3061701.Abstract:
Mobile communications have been undergoing a generational change every ten years or so.
However,thetime difference betweentheso-called “G's”isalsodecreasing.While fifth-generation (5G)
systems are becoming a commercial reality, there is already significant interest in systems beyond
5G, which we refer to as the sixth generation (6G) of wireless systems. In contrast to the already
published papers on the topic, we take a top-down approach to 6G. More precisely, we present a
holistic discussion of 6G systems beginning with lifestyle and societal changes drivingthe need for
next-generation networks. This is followed by a discussion into the technical requirements needed
to enable 6G applications, based on which we dissect key challenges and possibilities for
practically realizable system solutions across all layers of the Open Systems Interconnection stack
(i.e., from applications to the physical layer). Since many of the 6G applications will need access to
an order-of-magnitude more spectrum, utilization of frequencies between 100 GHz and 1 THz
becomes of paramount importance. As such, the 6G ecosystem will feature a diverse range of
frequency bands, ranging from below 6 GHz up to 1 THz. We comprehensively characterize the
limitations that must be overcome to realize working systems in
thesebandsandprovideauniqueperspectiveonthephysical andhigherlayerchallenges relatingto the
design of next-generation core networks, new modulation and coding methods, novel multiple-
access techniques, antenna arrays, wave propagation, radio frequency transceiver design, and real-

networks of the future, such as the redesign or significant reduction of the transport architecturethat
serves as a major source of latency for time -sensitive applications. This is in sharp contrast to the
present thier network architectures that are not suitablet realize many of the anticipated 6G
services. While evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of key candidate 6G technologies, we
differentiate what may be practically achievable over the next decade, relative to what is possible in
theory. Keeping this in mind, we present concrete research challenges for each of the discussed
system aspects, providing inspiration for what follows.
