This book contributes to the body of scholarly knowledge by exploring the main ideas of wireless networks of past, present, and future, trends in the field of networking, the capabilities of 5G and technologies that are potential enablers of 6G, potential 6G applications and requirements, as well as unique challenges and opportunities that 6G research is going to offer over the next decade. It covers research topics such as communication via millimeter-waves, terahertz waves and visible light to enable faster speeds, as well as research into achieving other basic requirements of 6G networks. These include low end-to-end latency, high energy efficiency, coverage that is ubiquitous and always-on, integration of terrestrial wireless with non-terrestrial networks, network management that is made more effective by connected intelligence with machine learning capabilities, as well as support for the evolution of old service classes and support for new ones.
