The commercial launch of 5G has already begun globally, in the meantime, academia and industry have carried out research on 6G as planned. 6G will bring a new perspective of communication technology, incredible technological innovation, fulfilling coverage technology application, and massive scale of in-depth technology integration. This paper describes technological vision on 6G based on the current situation of mobile communication technological development, and then considers the future directions of technological development from the perspective of 6G, this paper introduces new value offered in the 6G era to support the potential use cases put forward in Chapter 4. Requirements of 6G reveal the goals of mobile development—smarter, faster and greener, which provide reference for industry and society in the 2030s.
Evolution of communications, 6G technological vision, Future directions, Potential use cases.
