The Roadmap to 6G:
AI Empowered Wireless Networks
Abstract
 AI will play a critical role in designing and optimizing 6G architectures, protocols, and operations
 potential technologies for 6G to enable mobile AI applications,
 AI-enabled methodologies for 6G network design and optimization.

Introduction
 The wireless communications industry is one of the few industry sectors that have kept a
fast growing trend with creative features for a number of decades.
 6G will be transformative and will revolutionize the wireless evolution
Required the Supported Service
Computation Oriented Communications (COC):

Contextually Agile eMBB Communications (CAeC):

Event Defined uRLLC (EDuRLLC):

The Architecture of 6G Networks
 A Network of Subnetworks:

From Network Softwarization to Network

Intelligentization

 6G will take network softwarization to a new level, namely toward network

intelligentization
 THz communications
 Two key 5G technologies are Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network
Functions Virtualization (NFV)
 A Network of Subnetworks:
Local Evolution
• local subnetworks in 6G may evolve
individually to upgrade themselves.
• Local evolution is exploited
• developments on new waveforms, coding,
and multi-access protocols in subnetworks
without extensive time-consuming tests.
Global Evolution
• in which both hardware and software of all
the cells are upgraded simultaneously.
• there is no need to find a one-size-fit-all
solution for all the cells and rebuild the
whole system when local evolution is
exploited.

The comparison between three different

hybrid beamforming structures
The conventional fully-connected and
partially-connected structures suffer
from high hardware complexity and
significant performance loss,
respectively.
The new structure proposed in
achieves performance close to fully
digital beamforming, with a small
number of fixed phase shifters.
