Abstract:
The cellular network standard is stepping to the sixth generation, 6G. This new standard has been considered a key enabler for the smart information society of 2030. The 6G networks are expected to deliver superior performance over 5G and satisfy new emerging services and applications that integrate space, air, ground, and underwater networks to provide ubiquitous and unlimited wireless connectivity. There is a huge number of uses cases that poses varying requirements which include extreme mobility, extreme low latency, ultra high data rates, high energy efficiency, enhanced security, as well as high reliability. From this perspective, it is necessary to consider some of the key features that can be fundamental for the construction of the 6G network architecture. In this article, we will list some main use cases that will need the main 6G functionalities to work correctly and meet the expected expectations with the main 6G requirements so that it is possible to identify relevant points in the construction of a robust and flexible network architecture.
