From 5G to 6G

Understand the transition to the sixth generation of wireless with this bold introduction

The transition from the fifth generation of wireless communication (5G) to the coming sixth generation (6G) promises to be one of the most significant phases in the history of telecommunications. The technological, social, and logistical challenges promise to be significant, and meeting these challenges will determine the future of wireless communication. Experts and professionals across dozens of fields and industries are beginning to reckon seriously with these challenges as the 6G revolution approaches.

From 5G to 6G provides an overview of this transition, offering a snapshot of a moment in which 5G is establishing itself and 6G draws ever nearer. It focuses on recent advances in wireless technology that bring 6G closer to reality, as well as the near-term challenges that still have to be met for this transition to succeed. The result is an essential book for anyone wishing to understand the future of wireless telecommunications in an increasingly connected world.

From 5G to 6G readers will also find:

• 6G applications to both AI and Machine Learning, technologies which loom ever larger in wireless communication
• Discussion of subjects including smart healthcare, cybersecurity, extended reality, and more
• Treatment of the ongoing infrastructural and technological requirement for 6G

From 5G to 6G is essential for researchers and academics in wireless communication and computer science, as well as for undergraduates in related subjects and professionals in wireless-adjacent fields.
