Evolution of 6G Networks: THz & mmWave, LEO Satellites, Edge Computing, and Dynamic Network Slicing for Global Connectivity

Abstract

Evolving next-generation telecom networks are being fueled by the continuous development of 6G technology based on trends  such as terahertz (THz)/millimeter wave (mmWave) communication, low Earth orbit (LEO) Satellite to Mobile connectivity, edge computation, and dynamic network slicing. It comes with improvements  in ultrahigh-speed data delivery, low latencies, global coverage, and efficient bandwidth usage. In such cases, 5G facilitates the usage of drone networks by enabling dense networks of drones through the integration of sub-terahertz and millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies, which provide very high  data rates, whereas the provision of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites addresses the broadband requirement in remote areas. Edge computing also reduces latency by processing data and content closer to the end user, and dynamic network  slicing can efficiently allocate network resources on Demand to accommodate different applications. With 6G, AI, IoT,  and 6G will merge to redefine the future of telecommunication with an AI-centric strategy that will accelerate the convergence of IoT and create a multisensory experience.
