Description
Summary:Research on the next generation of cellular technology, called 6G , is ramping up rapidly all over the world. Now is the time to influence what should be in and what should be out under the 6G umbrella. The European Union (EU) has earmarked €900 million (∼US974 million) for research and innovation for 6G spread over seven years (2021-2028), and the EU is expecting the industry to invest the same amount of money. But is it possible to continue on the same tangent into the future for cellular networks? Cellular technology has transformed the lives of people, but have we reached the end of the transformation?
