6G: Towards Integrated Intelligence for a Connected World
5G networks are expected to represent a revolutionary leap with profound social and economic impacts. While the demand for capacity will continue to grow and much of it will be met by 5G, the continuous emergence of data-intensive applications cannot be supported by 5G and will require the launch of 6G, which will transform the wireless evolution from “connected things” to “connected intelligence”. To achieve this, 6G must overcome significant technical challenges such as exceptionally high bit rates, super low latencies, extremely high spectral efficiency, ultra-wide frequency bands, and ubiquitous connections between ground, satellite, sea, and airborne networks.
In this talk, we will describe some of the key solutions to address these challenges with an emphasis on the use of machine learning, a powerful artificial intelligence approach, for supporting intelligent networks. A roadmap toward 6G will also be discussed.
