An accessible and integrated roadmap to the technologies enabling 6G development
In 6G Key Technologies: A Comprehensive Guide, a team of accomplished engineers and researchers delivers a thoroughly original and comprehensive exploration of the technologies enabling and contributing to the development of 6G. The book presents the vision of 6G by reviewing the evolution of communications technologies from 1G to 5G and examining the factors driving that development, as well as their requirements, use cases, key performance indicators, and more.
The spectral resources required for 6G are covered in detail and new air interface technologies are explored as well. Finally, the authors discuss new paradigms in 6G, including AI, blockchain, communication-computing-sensing convergence, and post-quantum security and privacy.
Readers will also discover:
- Thorough introductions to the history of 1G through 5G technologies, as well as the vision driving the development of 6G
- In-depth explorations of full spectrum technologies in 6G, including millimeter wave technologies and terahertz-based communications and networking
- Fulsome discussions of new air interfaces, including ultra-massive MIMO and cell-free massive MIMO technologies
- Comprehensive treatments of new networking technologies, including softwarization, virtualization, and slicing techniques
Perfect for professional engineers, researchers, manufacturers, network operators, and software developers, 6G Key Technologies: A Comprehensive Guide will also earn a place in the libraries of graduate students studying wireless communications, computer networks, and system-on-chip implementation.
