The great achievements in electronics, automation, and digital communication technologies in the sixth-generation (6G) era has significantly accelerated the development of smart wearables and the personal ecosystems realizing the Internet of wearable things (IoWT). As the IoWT technologies have not matured yet, a keen knowledge of current states and future research trends is of importance to promote the popularization of the technology. In this review article, we investigate state-of-the-art characteristics of IoWT to identify its advancements and benefits from 6G technologies.

LEO Satellite Access Network (LEO-SAN) Towards 6G: Challenges and Approaches – ArXiv
This paper aims at revealing the main technical issues that have not been fully addressed by the existing LEO-SAN designs, from three aspects namely random access, beam management and Doppler-resistant transmission technologies. Promising technologies to address these challenges are also discussed, respectively. Finally, the future research directions are envisioned.
AceFL: Federated Learning Accelerating in 6G-enabled Mobile Edge Computing Networks – IEEE
Heterogeneity among distributed edge devices and the limitation of resources may degrade the training efficiency of Federated Edge Learning over 6G-enabled mobile edge computing (MEC) networks. Taking this challenge into account, a novel federated learning scheme is proposed in this paper to accelerate the training process.

Guest Post: The Possible Effects of 6G Transition on the Labour Market
The evolution of cellular technology has had a major effect on the economy and labour market. Since the introduction of 1G in 1979, there has been a constant advancement in this field. Although 6G technology is in the early R&D stages, it is already possible to evaluate its focus. It is also interesting to think of how it can shape the global economy, major industries, and workforce.
