Abstract

Due to increasing demand and faster access, the 6G technology is under invention, and as expected, it will come into functioning in 2030. This new paradigm of network communication brings more changes to the digital era with the aid of artificial intelligence. The architecture of 6G is compared with 5G technology and an analysis of 6G technologies in various applications domains is done. Various technologies integrated along with 6G including IoT, blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, quantum communications are analyzed. This chapter describes the requirements for new generation networks 6G technology as well as key performance indicators required for 6G networks. The research challenges are explored under different attributes for future contribution of new technology towards the wireless evolution.

Introduction

Future Generation Communication system integrated with IoT devices proves its power in various factors like high spectral density; latency level is low and more efficiency of energy level. IoT starts from the Internet of people and reaches the Internet of Everything (IoE), to accommodate such a vast collection of things there is a need for such powerful communication technology. Even 5G technologies struggle to support IoT devices in a few applications and its limitations are identified and rectified in 6G networks (Viswanathan & Mogensen, 2020). IoT support is needed for services like traffic alignment, observing environmental factors, virtual reality or virtual navigation, medical field, digital sensing, high definition, and full HD video transmission in connected drones (Rappaport, 2019; Heath, 2019; Zhang, 2019; Yrjola, 2020).

To enhance the performance, the communication algorithm should be modified. IoT system in 5G System can able to connect 50000 devices. Hence 6G communication technologies are the best area for the researchers to show their inventions and make innovations in various areas which make humans live sophisticated and also improve the business technology (Ziegler,2020; Zhang,2019). In this paper, an analysis is done in the application areas and the techniques needed as well challenges or difficulties faced while implementing 6G technology. Deploying of 5G technology is carried out now in most of the countries. But there is the necessity to satisfy the Internet of Everything (IoE) requirements. Henceforth, 6G came into the scene.

Internet of Everything (IoE) Requirements

The four main needed of IoT are people, process, data, and things. IoE is the connection of billions of devices together with people which consists of a machine to machine (M2M) communications, machine-to-people (M2P), and people-to-people (P2P) communications [9-10]. IoE is defined as the smart connection of four that is people, process, data, and things. IoE represents using sensors to access all the objects connecting different networks by adopting protocols.

Internet of Everything (IoE) Components includes four first one is people which are very essential components to connect with others. The second component is data which is collected and transformed into information with intelligence. The third one is the process that is needed to convert the data into intelligence and to send it to its destination i.e people component. The final component is Things which represents all the physical devices connected to the internet. The devices include all the objects also.

Let us compare IoT with IoE now. IoT is defined as a distinct collection of objects and data is accessed via the Internet. Normally the objects include various embedded devices for their functioning and so that it can do sensing process then communication takes place successfully. But IoE is built using four pillars where IoT sits on the top pillar. Then, IoE demands high power to improve industrial needs and business needs.
