Researchers offer future 6G network concept:

With commercial 5G rapidly deploying, researchers have begun to look at 6G. Its key technologies for mobile communication networks are expected to become available as early as 2023, with 6G networks emerging in 2030, according to Saad et al. Compared to 5G, the 6G network will increase data rates by over 100 times, to one terabyte per second or more, enabling the inclusion of edge intelligent devices and computing. To move large amounts of data to where and when it is needed, 6G networks will need to customize services to meet demands, transmit valued data, and interact with users.

To meet these requirements, the paper offers a "mailbox theory" that envisions a 6G network characterized as a:

  • Distributed Intelligent Network [...]
  • Proactive Interactive Network [...]
  • Cognitive Information Transmission [...]

      Meh. Wake me up when ISPs start offering residential connectivity that warrants higher frequency and more bandwidth and more antennas than ac. Hell, 2.4Ghz 802.11n is good enough in most cases.

      Before now, the "next generation" is higher and higher frequencies, since with digital the higher the frequency, the higher the bandwidth. But they're pretty much tapped out; they changed OTA TV frequencies (TV no longer needs the analog bandwidth) and now the weather forecasters and airports are bitching about the noise.

      What's next? How do they do 6G?

    We don't even know how 5G will be used, and thus have no conception of what we'll actually _need_ from 6G. The authors didn't let that stop them though, they'll _tell_ you what we should be needing.
    It's all fun an games to claim "100x the throughput rate of 5G" but what does that actually mean in practice? Is this another one of those scams that starts with "we offer you speeds of /up to/ X Mbps"? Sure, the spectrum _may_ potentially offer that... if you're the only one using it, and traffic doesn't need to leave your cell zone, and your phone is transmitting at an excess wattage, etc...

    Given those throughput rates and the desire to 'interact with users^Weyeballs', I can only deduce that Google, Facebook/Meta, et al. are all just salivating at how many more ads they can push in front of our faces. It appears that the internet is no longer for porn and hasn't been for about a decade now, it's just for ads, ads, ads... and squeezing people who are on it for every last drop of 'unrealized profit'.

    Also, "Cognitive Information Transmission" has got to be the dumbest thing I've read all year, and I've read a bunch of dumb things this year...

      At those speeds, we can probably expect to see the BlipVerts from Max Headroom that were too fast to be perceived yet were awesomely effective, except for the side-effects, like maybe mass deaths. Or perhaps deep subliminals like those that triggered River Tam in Serenity.

      Maybe we should pay more attention to the kinds of comms research the DoD and the tech industry start funding.

        Ye joking, right? Telcos don't make a profit from selling phones, they make a profit from govt subsidies to extend the coverage. With a cell size of 102m OoM, there'll be heaps of new repeaters and towers to install (or else China will be the world leader in 6G, so better cough those subsidies)

      You and I don't even need 4G, except that the more phones on your network the more bandwidth you need. The "next generation will give you unbelievable experiences" is advertising bullshit, a damned lie. The phone companies need it, not you or I.

      Yeah I agree. It’s full of buzzwords and fancy new sounding concepts but at the end of the day what is 5G over 4G? Just faster. (And less flexible at the real high speeds, as you have to be 100m from a transceiver/tower.

      Cognitive radio is all the hype at the moment but it’s justa fancy name for carrier/collision detection (which Ethernet has had for decades) but in a frequency domain. When I read about that, I chuckled - cognitive, hehe.

      Oh, edge-* is another, edge computing, edge this and that. It just means your phone or computer do what they used to do years ago before cloud-* which is, compute stuff. It’s a big amusing cycle but it does mean a lot of conferences for people to go waste time at.

      Here in London, the "Hutchinson 3G" network can't even get their 4G to work most of the time.

      Luckily, we expect to have 2G still running for a few decades as it is needed for the few IoT things that have at least a modicum of security.
