Mobile operators are urging for consensus on 6G network groundwork due to potential added complexities from new radio interfaces, despite higher data rate benefits. The Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance has released a report outlining initial 6G deployments around 2030, emphasizing concerns about complexity based on 5G experiences. Definitions of 6G are still evolving, with proposed routing options ranging from a new core to enhancements of 5G and integration of 4G elements. There's a significant need to simplify processes to avoid challenges similar to those faced during the 5G standardization phase.
According to telecoms tech specialist Ericsson, 6G networks are likely to offer data rates of several hundred gigabits per second with end-to-end sub-millisecond latency, making use of radio frequencies in the sub-terahertz and centimeter-wave range.
The report states that a consensus on 6G network architecture has yet to be reached, with considered options including adopting a completely new 6G core or enhancing the existing 5G core.
