Abstract

While actual deployments of fifth generation (5G) networks are in their initial stages and the actual need for 5G in our daily lives remains an open question, their potential to deliver high speed, low latency, and dependable communication services remains promising. Nevertheless, sixth generation (6G) networks have been proposed as a way to enhance the 5G solutions. Moreover, their potential is claimed to facilitate further development of intelligent Internet of Things solutions. This work outlines the main aspects, and proposed applications, of 6G technology. Moreover, the role that 6G networks can play in the transition from the IoT, as we know it, to the Edge-Cloud continuum is considered. Applicability to deep learning techniques and security aspects of 6G deployments are also noted.
