A vision towards integrated 6G communication networks: Promising technologies,architecture, and use-cases

The evolution of the previous mobile communication generations has led to innovative goals of the Internet of Everything (IoE) in the 5G. However, addressing all IoE-associated problems in 5G is difficult and a long-term process. As the key performance indicators (KPIs) of the 5G services are highly diverse, it is an intimidating task to develop a single platform enabling all KPIs. The vision of next-generation 6G wireless communications lies not only in enhancing these targets but also in providing new services. Numerous extensively envisaged future services, including life-critical services and wireless brain–computer interactions, will be critically dependent on an instant, virtually unlimited wireless connectivity. In this direction, the 6G is envisioned to have primely five service objectives; further-enhanced mobile broadband (FeMBB), ultra-massive machine type communication (umMTC), extremely reliable low latency communication (ERLLC), long-distance and high-mobility communications (LDHMC), and extremely low-power communications (ELPC). The 3D global integration of the wireless communication networks is lacking in the 5G, which is targeted by the future 6G. In this paper, we present an exhaustive review of the 6G wireless communication network. We explore the various existing mobile communication generations concerning data rate, frequency band, bandwidth allotted, latency, and applications. We also highlight various current trends and issues in the 5G communication network, which drives research for the 6G communication network. Our focus is to provide a comprehensive survey on the future 6G. So, we explored the objectives and design principles for 6G. This paper highlights the key 6G technology drivers. This paper also proposes an architectural design for 6G. Moreover, we carry out a case-study of 6G architecture operational design and compare the result with previous generation architecture designs. Further, 6G envisioned open research challenges, research directions, and recent advancements are also highlighted in this paper. Furthermore, we discuss possible use-cases in terms of real-time interactions of the biological, physical, and digital world, and also how these use-cases are going to serve in 6G.

Enabling next generation small cells through femtorelays

Today’s society is driven by ever-growing information needs, which cause increased demand for ubiquitous and very high speed wireless communications. In search for the urgent need of improved coverage and capacity, cellular networks are currently undergoing a major transformation from an architecture comprised of thoroughly planned macrocell base stations (MBSs) to a much more heterogeneous architecture where the macrocell network is underlaid by one or several tiers of unevenly deployed small cells. However, this new set of technologies is not exempt of several challenges. Backhaul is still an unresolved issue, i.e. which is the best technology for the small cell to reach the core network. In the case of uncoordinated co-channel deployments where the macrocell and small cell tier share the spectrum (e.g. femtocells or metrocells), the interference is also a major problem. In this paper, a new concept and architecture called femtorelays is introduced as a novel solution for next generation small cell problems. A femtorelay is a small cell access point that enables improved cellular coverage within indoor environments while increasing the overall system capacity through spatial frequency reuse. Working as an open-access small cell, it provides dual-backhaul connectivity to the core network for registered and unregistered users. One of the backhaul connections is the internet-based, and the second one is the relay-based operating on the spectrum owned by the wireless carrier. The radio interference between the macrocell and the small cell is overcome by servicing the macrocell interfering users at the femtorelay. Unlike the traffic from subscribers, this traffic will be forwarded to the network through the relay-based backhaul. The internal architecture, the approach employed to make the technology fit in existing networks, and future evolution of the basic femtorelays for larger scenarios are also presented. Finally, performance results show the potential of this technology to outperform other existing solutions.
