Now, developers and researchers have to think beyond 5G as mankind’s adaptation to 5G will lead to new demanding challenges. Thus, to meet the human requirements, a novel network with a new vision has to be introduced. There is an urgent need for the development of 5G because with very high data rates an intelligent network management is required. A new network with a new vision has to be brought in place to meet the human needs in the next generation as well as the upcoming emerging challenges. One of the major objectives for the 6G network will be to reach every nook and corner of the world, irrespective of the terrain and other environmental factors along with the social strata of the people. The number of unconnected individuals is mainly distributed in rural, low per capita income and illiteracy areas. Now, let us discuss some of the problems in 6G that need to be challenged.
A . Internet Connectivity and Telecom Infrastructure: Compared to an urban area, there is a huge gap regarding the internet connectivity of rural areas, as they lacked the availability of the necessary infrastructure to set-up such as availability of water electricity, transportation facility. Difficult terrain in some areas may make it difficult to set up all the infrastructure required mainly due to rugged and hard to reach terrain, maintenance of different types of equipment, and a few more. Therefore, the major issues of 6G that may be associated while setting up the telecom infrastructure will include: 1) There is not much business potential as the region has a sparse population. 2) High capital expenditure (CAPEX) associated with setting up base stations. 3) Nil or low electrification services will require a tremendous operational expenditure to set up diesel generators at the base station level. 4) Poor skill set due to which maintaining base stations is troublesome.
B. Security and Varieties in Connected Devices: Varieties of connected devices are growing rapidly, including IoT, low latency, and higher throughput. Thus there is an urgent need for improvements in cellular networks to support IoT and enhance other features such as network density, social automation, public safety, reliability, etc. Recently, due to its key features such as decentralized architecture, elimination of central third parties, presence of transparency with anonymity, low processing delay, etc. blockchain can be one of the highly efficient information exchange security technologies. Thus, how blockchain system can be suitable to use in 6G networks can be another challenge.
C. Intelligent Resource Management and Extreme Mobility: Intelligent resource management in networks will be highly challenging, given the connectivity requirements expected in the telecommunication ecosystem of future mobile communications. Since operations such as decentralized computation, spectrum sharing, and orchestration must be compatible with a vast infrastructure in 6G, the achievement will not be easy. There will be a very large increase in the number of devices, which will operate and connect to the Internet in the future and hence there will be a need for ultra-high-speed networking infrastructure, which can then keep pace with the demand created.
This even makes the architecture design of a 6G network quite challenging due to the incredible pressures one has to witness on their network for traffic. Moreover, as more devices keep arriving, different application usage and real-time communications will surface which is quite a dire need to top 6G and bring life-critical communications. Such delays can only be reduced when these approaches are close to zero and accuracy is high. Base stations are also required to exchange such a huge amount of data on such a scale. Moreover, synchronization of vehicular networks, power supply and many other services are required to keep up with the tremendous growth in connected devices and application usage. All these make the configuration of 6G networks challenging to configure across the globe.
Overall, some of the important questions that arise as challenges are as follows.
• Trustworthiness: Though 5G networks have many security features, the requirements of an improved security, reliability, high predictability, and high resilience of the delivered functionality will be highly demanded from the user-end in 6G. The network must be able to revert any activity of jamming, tampering, or intrusion.
• All-Pervasive Service Coverage: 6G networks are supposed to provide services both on land and air, within water surfaces, and through space with excellent and secure connections on the network. Coupled with these feature attributes, 6G networks are expected to suffice the growing desire for high speeds in the services being offered. All the above expectations compel 6G networks to provide robust and multi-faceted network servicing capabilities.
• Performance and Extreme Applications: 6G will process massive amounts of information, and it will serve with an increasing number of connected devices at the same time in a high-speed network. Low latency, full sensory communication, reduced power consumption, and extended range of network availability are some of the key features of 6G networks. It is expected that 6G will be used for agriculture, e-health, law enforcement, governance, transportation, entertainment, and many other applications in daily life.
• Connected Integrated Systems: Intelligent systems that involve connectivity, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are application-based integrated systems. Currently, they can be used as a means of alternative solutions to traditional approaches such as brute force algorithms or heuristics. As the clock is passing by, after days of development, AI and machine learning-based applications with zero-touch operations, real-time analysis, multi-connectivity setting, mobility, and so on are going to occupy large places inside the connected integrated 6G network system.
• Quality of Experience: 6G poses a large number of use cases with varying requirements, ranging from extreme mobility, cost-effectiveness, high battery lifetime to ultra-low latency. To support all the envisaged features of intelligent management of high speed mobility the 6G architecture needs to be flexible to support a large number of online learning-based processing instances, varieties of deployment and hence quality of experience will increase significantly in 6G. e. Terahertz rate frequencies for ever increasing data rates
• Sustainability: The key area through which 6G is adding on to mainstream practice to realize the Sustainable Development agenda and bring revolutions in socio-economies is the highly dramatic reduction in power consumption such as reduction in carbon usage by contributing to the creation of eco-friendly wireless terminals as well as many other areas of efficiency.
