Abstract
From the first generation to the third generation (3G), data communications such as “i-mode” and multimedia information such as photos, music, and video could be communicated using mobile devices. From the fourth generation (4G), smart phones have been explosively popularized by high-speed communication technology exceeding 100 Mbps using the long-term evolution (LTE), and multimedia communication services have appeared. 4G technology continues to evolve in the form of LTE-Advanced and has now reached a maximum communication speed close to 1 Gbps. 5G is expected to provide new value as a basic technology supporting future industry and society, along with artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). 5G is expected to evolve, and the sixth generation (6G) technology will support industry and society in the 2030s. The objectives of 6G technology include simultaneous achievement of several requirements such as ultra-high-speed, high-capacity, and low-latency connectivity.

GIS Use for Mapping Land Degradation: A Review of Research Carried Out in Tunisia
An aircraft with no pilot onboard. It can be remote controlled (e.g. flown by a pilot at a ground control station) or can fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans or more complex dynamic automation systems. Its main application could be defined with observation, maintenance, surveillance, monitoring, remote sensing and security tasks.
