How can we shape the future of mobile connectivity with 6G?
Abstract: As the wireless communications industry prepares for the next generation in mobile connectivity with the expected introduction of 6G by the end of this decade, it is important to leverage experiences with 4G and 5G. Moving to 6G gives us a key opportunity to redesign network architecture for improved efficiency, scalability and agility in delivering network services. This change aims to build a strong foundation for a thriving mobile connectivity ecosystem.
The transition from 5G to 6G will not just be a technological evolution but a strategic shift that will likely affect how future 6G features are adopted and the financial returns on current 5G networks. The choices made early in this transition are crucial. Choosing the quickest path might not be the best in the long term. A strategy that focuses on improving user experiences and ensuring widespread access from the beginning will likely help operators meet customer expectations more effectively, while also cutting costs and reducing disruptions to existing systems.
With 6G, operators could not only market the latest technology standard but also capitalize on the many technological innovations that the 3GPP has standardized for 5G Advanced. Concentrating on areas like energy efficiency, automation, infrastructure-sharing and efficient spectrum sharing will not only enhance the capabilities of 6G networks but also make them more cost-efficient to operate. Additionally, the adoption of AI-native systems across the 6G technology stack could improve how networks scale, improve their performance with cell site-specific and user-specific adjustments and improve their responsiveness to disruptions.
