The fifth-generation (5G) mobile system is now being deployed across the world and the scale of 5G subscribers is growing quickly in many countries. The attention of academia and industry is increasingly shifting towards the sixth…
Fifth generation (5G) mobile communication systems have entered the stage of commercial development, providing users with new services and improved user experiences as well as offering a host of novel opportunities to various industries.…
The IMT-2030 framework provides the vision and conceptual foundation for the next-generation of mobile broadband systems, colloquially known as Sixth-Generation (6G) cellular networks. Academic circles, industry players, and Standard…
The first 6G standardization efforts are about to start, shaping the new generation of mobile networks. The IMT-2030 extends the IMT-2020 by expanding its usage scenarios to Immersive, Massive, and Hyper-Reliable and Low-Latency…
While fifth-generation (5G) communications are being rolled out worldwide, sixth-generation (6G) communications have attracted much attention from both the industry and the academia. Compared with 5G, 6G will have a wider frequency band,…
The research community has already identified that, by 2030, 5G networks will reach the capacity limits, and hence, will be inadequate to support next generation bandwidth-hungry, ubiquitous, intelligent services, and applications.…
The 6G mobile network is the next evolutionary step after 5G, with a prediction of an explosive surge in mobile traffic. It provides ultra-low latency, higher data rates, high device density, and ubiquitous coverage, positively impacting…
This paper is a summary of the findings from a series of workshops which were held by Thinknet 6G and MUENCHNER KREIS in 2021, with the goal to provide orientation and input for developing a strategic 6G research plan. The topics selected…
The stringent requirements of a 1,000 times increase in data traffic and one millisecond round trip latency have made limiting the potentially tremendous ensuing energy consumption one of the most challenging problems for the design of the…
The increasing environmental impact of the telecom industry has heightened the need for sustainable telecommunications networks. With skyrocketing data traffic and 5G gaining a foothold, telecom operators are under pressure to sustain…
While 5G is being rolled out in different parts of the globe, few research groups around the world $-$ such as the Finnish 6G Flagship program $-$ have already started posing the question: \textit{What will 6G be?} The 6G vision is a…
Currently, the world experiences an unprecedentedly increasing generation of application data, from sensor measurements to video streams, thanks to the extreme connectivity capability provided by 5G networks. Going beyond 5G technology,…
Future applications such as intelligent vehicles, the Internet of Things and holographic telepresence are already highlighting the limits of existing fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks. These limitations relate to data throughput,…
Work has now begun on the sixth generation of cellular technologies (`6G`) and cost-efficient global broadband coverage is already becoming a key pillar. Indeed, we are still far from providing universal and affordable broadband…
Recent years have seen more critical applications designed to protect human lives (e.g., environmental sensing, emergency response, and tactical defense) being deployed over wireless networks. These critical deployments expect higher data…
The upcoming Sixth Generation (6G) mobile communications system envisions supporting a variety of use cases with differing characteristics, e.g., very low to extremely high data rates, diverse latency needs, ultra massive connectivity,…
The goal of this paper is to promote the idea that including semantic and goal-oriented aspects in future 6G networks can produce a significant leap forward in terms of system effectiveness and sustainability. Semantic communication goes…
This article provides a rich discussion on how the sustainability of agile development processes can be enhanced. In particular, we focus on a recently developed framework, named GLUX, that integrates Lean UX into Scrum. GLUX's main goal is…
Social sustainability in software development means creating and maintaining systems that promote pro-social values (e.g., human well-being, equity), both now and in the future. However, social sustainability lacks clear conceptual and…
Since the 1980s, the world has witnessed new mobile generations every decade. Each new generation is better than the previous in some ways. The recently emerging generation, 5G has several advanced features. However, it is doubted that…
