I would like to underline two conclusions that could be drawn from Fig. To elaborate on the last point, Figure 1 shows the evolution of mobile wireless systems, emphasizing two aspects: first, key services, which those systems were designed to provide second, a general assumption captured when designing them.įigure 1. For that reason and by approximation, we will need 6G to fix the 5G flaws when first time approaching verticals. From a historical standpoint, every odd generation provided the “new” type of service / big thing to the mobile communications (1G started „voice” in mobile communications, 3G started Internet access, 5G started native incorporation of verticals), while every even generation provided the “improved” solution for the services approached by the odd generation (2G provided good voice communication solution, 4G provided a good solution to Internet access).This requires so that you (here I mean 3GPP or whoever is standardizing the nextG system) have to do it fast, which more or less means that it probably will not be done “right”. The problem is that we have to make the “lastG” right, which is difficult when you have pressure and hype around the nextG. It means that it’s designed in such a way that every new technology which will happen in the future can be added to the “ lastG” in a plug-and-play manner as we move to software-based solutions. From a technical standpoint, there could potentially be a “ lastG” which doesn’t mean of course that this is the ultimate solution to all human problems.Going further, the operators would like to sell the nextG service to the customers. There is a marketing aspect to it, from which there will always be nextG, because vendors need to sell nextG to the operators every now and then.I’d like to make some points out of it which can be generalized towards whateverG happens next: Introduction to the perspective of Next G’s This is because I fully agree with that quote, although it doesn’t hold anymore, as we already have 5G and the research community works on 6G. Andy Sutton, “If we get 5G right, there will be no need for 6G”. Whenever being asked this question, I always start my answer with the paraphrase of a quote from prof.

Will there be a 6g
