This panel will address technical and social trends that would motivate further evolution beyond 5G, representative use cases of 6G, and initial views about vision, requirements, and roadmap of standardization and commercialization for 6G. Considering that the mobile industry will continue the enhancement of 5G networks for about 10 years before the start of deploying 6G networks, it would also be worth discussing how to define the relationship between 5G evolution and 6G. The last decade has seen an exploding growth in mobile data rates enabled by millions of mobile apps, and there are no signs of this slowing down as we look towards 2030. As our society moves towards hyper-connectivity and full digitization by leveraging intelligent data-driven frameworks, it will continue to push the capabilities of 5G to its limits. As the 1st and 2nd phase of 5G networks are being deployed around the world and with the next phase of 5G standardization underway, discussions towards 6G are gaining significant momentum. While consensus is building towards what 6G KPIs could be, there is much left to debate on what are the actual 6G use-cases and drivers that will require these KPIs! It is anticipated that 6G wireless systems must support far-reaching applications ranging from multi-sensory extended reality, holographic communications to fully autonomous systems at scale which cannot be met by today’s 5G service classes viz., eMBB, URLLC and mMTC. 6G will be expected to deliver near-instant and unlimited connectivity without sacrificing reliability, security/trust for multiple form-factors, while working well within the constraints of device battery-life and computing power. We envisage that 6G will not be a mere push to higher frequency bands with wider bandwidths and ultra-high throughputs; rather it will leverage advances from multiple and disparate disciplines ranging from materials research to AI/ML to neuromorphic computing to blockchain/DLT and edge native architectures, to name a few. This panel is part-2 of the two-panel series in the industry forum facilitating 6G discussions, with part-1 covering 6G use-cases, requirements and roadmap (add hyperlink to part-1 panel led by Juho). In this panel, we will look to discuss how we can build from the collective learnings and experiences from commercial 5G rollouts and ongoing research to understand how they are likely to influence advances in 5G and 6G evolution, what will be the most promising technology-enablers of 6G, their impact on 6G architecture, adjacent technologies that 6G will have to rely on and how 6G can promote their emergence. This panel brings together leading experts who have helped shape the mobile ecosystem representing key players from infra, handset and chipset OEMs, operators and academia to share their views on the major technological developments that are likely to shape the evolution of next-generation wireless communication systems.
