Whilst the commercial deployment of 5G is yet to become prevalent around the world, and the research and standardization of 6G are still underway, leading countries in communications technology have come up with their own visions for 6G. The potential 6G technologies can be developed along two paths. The first is an evolution based on 5G, incorporating artificial intelligence, next-generation MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) and mmWaves (millimeter waves). The other involves the exploration of emerging technologies such as terahertz (THz) communications, Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS), and non-terrestrial networks. Although the developmental path and application scenarios of 6G technologies are not yet determined, the increase in transmission rates and the expansion of spectrums have already become the contested ground for industry players.
