Report: The importance of preventing 6G SAG (Service Adoption Gap) – Omnisperience

As engineers and scientists begin to develop 6G technology, uncomfortable questions need to be addressed, including what the point of 6G is, how it will be monetised, and what sort of experience it will deliver.
5G has taught us that the ‘build it and they will come’ approach won’t work. In contrast, 6G must be customer centric, not network centric, and start with a far clearer proposition around customer value.

In this green paper we explore what’s needed to make 6G a success.

Beyond Speed: Promoting Social and Economic Opportunities through 6G and Beyond – Next G Alliance

Beyond Speed defines specific social and economic outcomes to which Next G can contribute, key aspects of digital equity, defining a trustworthy 6G network and how Next G connectivity will directly impact economic growth. Challenges in areas including supply chain and equal access are addressed as well as those that may arise when defining QoL metrics. This paper also presents promising areas for future research and issues a call to action for research, development, policies and business models.

A comprehensive survey on quantum computer usage: How many qubits are employed for what purposes? – Arxiv

Most news on quantum computers (QCs) consists of outstanding
experiments, and thereby we may overlook how typical usages of QCs have been. Such oversight,
if exists, could lead to an insufficient understanding of the present situation in the research and development of QCs and may
result in possible obstacles to long-term research design. In other words, we need an alternative perspective based on typical
usages as well as the standard one based on monumental experiments.

eBPF for Telco: A New Approach to Observability, Networking and Security – Rakuten Symphony

eBPF for Telco: A New Approach to Observability, Networking and Security – Rakuten Symphony

Modern mobile communication networks and new service applications are deployed on cloud-native platforms. Kubernetes (K8s) is the de facto distributed operating system for container orchestration, and the extended version of the Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) – in Linux (and MS Windows) kernel – is fundamentally changing the approach to cloud-native networking, security, and observability. This white paper from Rakuten Symphony outlines the impact the eBPF could and should have on future networking.

The 6G Architecture Landscape – A European perspective – 3GPP

The 6G Architecture Landscape – A European perspective – 3GPP

The European networking research community has started a new program along with 33 projects on the Smart Networks and Service (SNS) programme that will focus on 5G advanced and 6G. The 5G/B5G Architecture Working Group (WG), as part of the 5G PPP Initiative, is identifying and capturing novel trends and key technological enablers for the realization of the 5G and 6G architecture. The main findings and results of the Architecture WG are now captured in this white paper, which presents a consolidated view from European perspective on the technical directions for the architecture design in the 6G era.

Near-Field MIMO Communications for 6G: Fundamentals, Challenges, Potentials, and Future Directions – Tsinghua

Near-Field MIMO Communications for 6G: Fundamentals, Challenges, Potentials, and Future Directions – Tsinghua

In this paper a team from Tsinghua University investigate emerging near-field communication techniques. They address two types of recent studies in near-field communications: techniques addressing the challenges and those exploiting the potential
in near-field regions. Their principles, recent progress, pros and cons are discussed, alongside several open problems and future research directions for near-field communications.

The 6G Ambient IoT Opportunity For Supply Chain – ABI

The 6G Ambient IoT Opportunity For Supply Chain – ABI

A new class of Ambient Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology, which delivers pervasive connectivity to products that were previously disconnected, can help supply chains provide that much-needed granular real-time visibility.

In this whitepaper, ABI Research provides comprehensive insight into how Ambient IoT enables most items in a supply chain to be connected to the Internet, delivering real-time triggers and information about location and condition at a minimal cost, using existing wireless infrastructure, without human intervention.

3GPP Rel-19 Toward 6G – Ofinno

3GPP Rel-19 Toward 6G – Ofinno

Recently, 3GPP SA1 started various studies for Rel-19 5G systems. The outcome of Rel-19 may not only show the additional capability that the 5G system will offer, but also provide guidance on what the future 6G system needs to be capable of. This whitepaper discusses the ongoing areas of the Rel-19 studies.

A Survey on the Use of Blockchain for Future 6G: Technical Aspects, Use Cases, Challenges and Research Directions – Researchgate

A Survey on the Use of Blockchain for Future 6G: Technical Aspects, Use Cases, Challenges and Research Directions – Researchgate

We present a high-level view of the role of blockchain for 6G trends
and requirements. Following that, we conduct an in-depth study
on how the blockchain can provide a secure, transparent, and
decentralised underpinning to various technical aspects and use
cases of 6G. Thereafter, we discuss the deployment challenges
to be faced
