Summary
The sixth-generation (6G) networks are required to develop over existing fifth-generation (5G) networks to support emerging technologies and applications. Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) represents a continuing evolution from traditional Long-Term Evolution, which enables mobile broadband in limited applications. In 5G, eMBB is being enhanced greatly. In 6G, Ultramassive Machine Type Communication will enable several key applications including Internet of Industrial smart Things, smart buildings, Internet-enabled supply-chain, logistics, and fleet management, as well as air and water quality monitoring. In large dimension networks, Long Distance and High Mobility Communications (LDHMC) are indispensable requirements in 6G. In 5G, LDHMC services are undeniable as they can support up to 500 km/h. Area traffic capacity corresponds to the total traffic throughput served per geographic area. In this regard, it is widely anticipated that 5G may enable a traffic capacity of 10 Mbps per square meter in dedicated hotspot areas.
