The race for the 6th generation of wireless networks (6G) has begun!
The sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication networks are envisaged to revolutionize connectivity via the Internet of Things (IoT) towards a future of fully intelligent and autonomous systems. While 5G is still focusing on connecting high-speed devices like smartphones, and connected cars, 6G will be mostly laying its ground on the IoT network.
Some of the most fundamental 6G technologies that are expected to empower future IoT networks, including edge intelligence, higher data rate, environment sustainability, massive ultra-reliable, and low-latency communications.
Let’s explore the emerging opportunities brought by 6G technologies in IoT networks and applications!
Healthcare
The necessity to incorporate technology and intelligent systems in our daily lives for daily life support as well as healthcare monitoring has increased. IoT being the epicenter of it has played an important role in reducing the pressure on healthcare professionals through preventive and in-home care approaches making IoT for healthcare at its high demand.
But how can the 6G keep up with it? Well, the answer is pretty simple.
The demand for 6G communication technology for future healthcare is the high operating frequency (≥1T H z), high data rate (≥1T bps), low end-to-end delay (≤1ms), high reliability (10−9), the wavelength of ≤300µm, and high mobility (≥1000 km/h). Famous for its Tetrahertz- enabled wireless communication,6G will help the signal to increase its bandwidth and data rates. Moreover, it will provide bandwidth three times higher than 5G signal, i.e.,mmWave.
Intelligent Internet of Medical Things
In the paradigm of 6G communication, the Intelligent Internet of Medical Things (IIoMT) is evolving and serving many purposes for the well-being of humankind. But what exactly is IIoMT?
IIoMT is an AI-driven intelligent device that makes its own decision using communication technology. With IoE (Internet of Everything) emerging along with IIoMT can make medical things to be connected to the Internet. For example, CT and MRI scans. Here, the scanner will scan the devices and dispatch the data to remote locations through 6G technology. Therefore with the establishment of IIoMT, medical things can be linked to the Internet and instant decision can be taken. Currently, it takes time to detect whether the cancer patients having benign or malignant. But soon, cancer patients can easily be treated by remote doctors and be detected in real-time using 6G communication technology.
Intelligent Wearable Devices
According to the Global Forecast to 2022, the wearable technology market is expected to grow from US$15.74 billion to US$51.60 billion by 2022.
Intelligent Wearable Devices (IWD) are linked to the Internet and pass on psychological and physical data to monitoring centers. They will monitor your health conditions, heartbeat, blood pressure, body weight, and nutrition. Along with that, they will maintain a personalized history of the health, nutrition, and habits of each individual. Therefore, IWD can not only detect minor body issues but also advise what to eat in case of any deficiency so that the frequency of hospital visits can be reduced. Early detection of cancer is also possible using
IWD and therefore help in increasing the human life span.
It’s important to realize that 6G will revolutionize businesses and redefine hospital facilities.
Connected Cars
The automotive sector plays a vital role in our everyday life.
Connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) being the vertical industries in 6G with various demanding service qualities are capable of sensing the driving environment and moving safely with little or no human control. At its advancement, CAV also points out the technologies and applications that can collaborate with other connected autonomous vehicles and upgrade better road safety and efficiency compared to individual AVs without cooperation.
Initially, connected vehicles and autonomous vehicles were developed in parallel, which is widely regarded as the two most promising technologies for future transportation systems.
We believe that 6G mobile systems facilitate missions of cross functions, combining communications ©, computation ©, positioning (P), and sensing (S), or CCPS for short, to satisfy service/application requirements while being deployed at a large scale with cost-effectiveness.
The CAV features ease of deployment and controlled mobility so that it can effectively support the CCPS functions of 6G systems through monitoring, maintaining 6G networks, and infrastructure extension to achieve 6G goals of wireless intelligence and minimize network operation costs. With expected tremendous investments on 6G and CAV infrastructures, the 6G communications and CAV systems could be jointly designed, planned, and operated with much better reuse of system resources and services.
Intelligence in the Network
Industry 4.0 is the fourth crucial evolution of technology within the industry. This revolution is perceived as the integration of two worlds — physical (robotics and automated machines) and virtual (AI, big data), utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) — to develop the concept of smart factories.
6G will be fully executed by the Industry 4.0 revolution that started with 5G, i.e., the digital transformation of manufacturing through cyber-physical systems and IoT services. Overcoming the boundaries between the real factory and the cyber computational space will enable Internet-based diagnostics, maintenance, operation, and direct machine communications in a cost-effective, flexible and efficient way. Automation comes with its own set of requirements in terms of reliable and isochronous communication, which 6G is positioned to address through the disruptive set of technologies. For instance, industrial control requires real-time operations with guaranteed Gbps peak data rates for AR/VR industrial applications and µs delay jitter.
