Why do we need
6G?
The
study and design of 5G seems to have reached its end and 5G
communication systems are currently under deployment. In parallel,
5G standardization is as Release 16, which is going to complete the
definition and the design guidelines of the 5G radio access network.
Because of that, the interest of the scientific and industrial
communities has already started focusing on the future 6G
communication networks. The preliminary definition of future
technology trends towards 2030, given by major standardization
bodies, and the flagship 6G projects worldwide have started
proposing various visions about what 6G will be. Side by side,
various scientific articles, addressing the initial characterisation
of 6G, have also been published. However, considering the promises
of 5G, can 6G represent a significant technological advancement to
justify a so-called new generation? In fact, now, 5G softwarized
networks may just imply continuous network software upgrades (as it
happens for the Internet) instead of new generations every ten
years. This article starts describing the main characteristics that
made 5G a breakthrough in telecommunications, also briefly
introducing the network virtualisation and computing paradigms that
have reformed telecommunications. Next, by providing rigorous
definition of the terminology and a survey of the principal 6G
visions proposed, the paper
tries to establish important motivations and characteristics that
can really justify the need for and the novelty of future 6G
communication networks.
