Abstract
The transition from Beyond 5G (B5G) to 6G is a sea change in wireless communication technology, which is expected to upend industries such as transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing. By expanding upon the 5G network's current capabilities, B5G boosts mobile broadband, reduces power consumption, and maximizes spectrum usage. Advanced Internet of Things (IoT) devices and real-time applications are made possible by essential features like massive machine-type communications (mMTC) and ultra-low latency. The advent of 6G in the 2030s heralds revolutionary improvements such as intelligent surfaces, AI-driven network automation, and terahertz transmission frequencies. Thanks to this development, previously unimaginable speeds and bandwidth will be available, allowing for a proliferation of networked devices with latency reduced to microseconds. While resolving issues with present networks, these advancements will provide state-of-the-art solutions for smart cities and digital twins and enhance existing networks' capacities.Keywords
