Evolving to 6G: The Case for a New Approach to 6G and Beyond Kindle Edition

This book addresses "what is next after 5G"!The wireless world changed significantly during 4G. "Killer Apps" were focused on indoor use. Private networks became viable, and highly attractive for many of the use cases cited for 5G. WiFi had massive improvements in WiFi 6 and 7. Fraudulent SIM swaps have become a major risk to individuals personal wealth. Hyperscalers have become the dominant providers of national and international bandwidth. All of these changes must be addressed as we consider where 6G needs to go, and what solutions it should provide. Previous generations of wireless could focus on the key metric of peak bandwidth, but 6G must address much more complex challenges if it is provide a meaningful next generation after 5G.This book addresses these challenges, focusing not on the design of the waveform, but of the role of the control plane to create a unified experience; indoors and out; extend the security model to reflect the progress in security and authentication that have occurred since the development of the ubiquitous SI card, and provide paths to exploit the underlying 3GPP technology in a wide range of applications that include offload, private indoor-focused and hybrid networks.
