Description
About the Book
"Authored by two experts in the field, this book aims to be the first to provide a comprehensive and highly consistent treatment on all enabling techniques for 6G by covering over five parts, New Vision, New Spectrum, New Air Interface, New Networking and New Paradigm. The authors present the vision of 6G by reviewing the evolution from 1G to 5G looking at the driving factors, requirements, use cases, key performance indicators (KPI) and roadmap of 6G. The special resources for 6G, including millimeter wave, terahertz, visible light communications, and optical wireless communications are covered, as is a presentation of new air interface technologies including ultra-massive multiple-input multiple-output (massive-MIMO), cell-free massive MIMO, orthogonal and non-orthogonal multiple access, and intelligent reflecting surface. Moving to the system and network levels, new networking technologies for 6G including non-terrestrial networks, softwarization and virtualization, RAN slicing, open RAN, and autonomous network management are examined, whilst the book concludes with a look at all new paradigms in 6G, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, communication-computing-sensing convergence, and post-quantum security and privacy. It is planned that each section will consider three elements - key enabling technologies and components of 6G, the technical connections, then the algorithms - ensuring that readers enjoy a fully immersive introduction to this wide and varied topic"--Book Synopsis
6G Key TechnologiesAn accessible and integrated roadmap to the technologies enabling 6G development
In 6G Key Technologies: A Comprehensive Guide, two internationally well-recognized experts deliver 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 toward 6G and examining the factors driving that development, as well as their requirements, use cases, key performance indicators, and more.
Readers will discover:
- Thorough introductions to the standardization and technology evolution toward 6G, as well as the vision behind the development of 6G in terms of architectures, algorithms, protocols, and applications.
- In-depth explorations of full-spectrum wireless technologies in 6G, including enhanced millimeter wave technologies, terahertz-based communications and networking, visible-light and optical wireless communications.
- Fulsome discussions of smart radio networks and new air interface technologies for 6G including intelligent reflecting surface, cellular massive MIMO, cell-free massive MIMO, adaptive and non-orthogonal multiple access technologies.
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 in wireless communications, artificial intelligence, signal processing, microwave technology, information theory, antenna and propagation, system-on-chip implementation, and computer networks.
