This paper discusses the opportunities for visible light communications (VLC) in the future 6G. VLC is a highly attractive optical communication approach for short-range communications, which complements radio. The use of reconfigurable optical-radio networks creates a high performance, highly flexible communication system that can be used in the most stringent environments of 6G. The paper presents and discusses other novel VLC concepts, such as interactive VLC, light-based IoT, living surfaces and optical communications through bio-tissues. These very promising concepts can be used in the identified 6G verticals, opening new areas of research for 6G.

Massive machine-type communication (mMTC) is expected to revolutionize the fifth-generation (5G) and beyond-5G systems by enabling connectivity for a high number of low-rate low-power devices with sporadic activity patterns. To realize the full potential of mMTC, radical enhancements are required for the radio access design and the architecture of current cellular systems. In this paper, we discuss the mMTC peculiarities in the context of emerging energy and automotive use cases. We identify key mMTC challenges that hinder efficient and scalable connectivity in the smart grid and in vehicular communication. Representative technical enablers are then proposed aiming to tackle the massive connectivity limitations in various scenarios. The performance assessment of the presented approaches reveals the superior performance compared to the benchmark schemes while useful insights can be drawn for the design principles of future mMTC protocols. Finally, we discuss some key technology trends relevant to mMTC that are expected to provide a roadmap for the design of novel solutions to evolve Dost-5G connectivity.

The proliferation of wireless devices in the recent years has caused spectrum shortage, which led the scientific community to explore the potential of using terahertz (THz) communications. However, THz systems suffer from severe path attenuation, blockage and antenna misalignment. In this paper, we present a relay-based blockage and antenna misalignment mitigation approach. In more detail, two relay selection policies are employed, namely best and random relay selection. The system performance under both policies is evaluated and compared in terms of average throughput and the probability that throughput of a link is below a quality of service (QoS) threshold, using Monte Carlo simulations. It was observed that the effect of both blockage and misalignment can be mitigated using relays. Moreover, the gain of using relaying to mitigate blockage is much more significant.

The paper presents the characterization of interconnects for D-band on multilayer high frequency PCBs. The losses demonstrated at 150 GHz for a microstrip line, a coplanar waveguide and a single flip-chip transition are 1.9 dB/cm, 1.8 dB/cm and 0.3 dB (for 60 µm bumps), respectively. The applicability of multilayer high frequency PCB technology as a low cost integration platform for D-band is proven.

A significant number of 5G commercial networks, both based on New Radio (NR) Non-Standalone and NR Standalone, were launched in 2019 and this number continues to grow even further in 2020. While 3GPP is continuously working on the evolution of 5G NR with Release 16 being finalized early 2020 and the start of Release 17, industry and academia has started looking towards the next generation of mobile networks, 6G, that is targeted for the 2030 timeline and aims at addressing challenges not easily achievable in a backwards-compatible manner with 5G NR evolution. 6G should address a new range of challenges of critical importance for networks, as well as for the constantly changing society, which calls for new architecture and new technical solutions. In this paper, we describe a set of potential challenges and propose possible technical components to address them in a future 6G system. We also outline the main requirements that should guide the 6G development.

This paper describes fundamental aspects of a framework for privacy-preserving data sharing in a mobile context. The principal technical challenge is measuring the level of personal information (PI) in datasets that are shared for the delivery or enhancement of mobile enabled services. Another challenge is determining the threshold delineating a “reasonable likelihood” of an individual being identifiable from the data. The risk of reidentification defines personally identifiable information (PII). The measure of PI must go beyond simply analysing personal attributes captured in data and consider preference revealed through use of services, temporal and spatial aspects of data, as well as context for use of services. Keywords-data sharing, privacy, mobile services

This paper presents a novel visual detection-based approach for predicting imminent blockages of wireless radio links in industrial ultra reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) systems. The solution is based on detecting the bounding box of the UE-object and deducing from the temporal behavior of the bounding box whether the object is about to be blocked by an obstacle. It is shown that such detection approach allows one to predict the blockage as the bounding box starts to become smaller much before the full blockage occurs. Simulation results indicate that the proposed visual blockage prediction scheme can significantly reduce the latency of URLLC networks by preventing packet errors due to blockage and the associated reduction in link quality. In macro cell scenarios, the latency reduction is as much as 5 ms. In addition, we also show that the detection range of the proposed solution is sufficient for most industrial applications; with a 4K camera, reasonably sized objects can be detected from as far as 130 m away.

The exponential growth of Internet of Things applications necessitates the design of next generation cellular systems to provide native support for machine type communications (MTC). While 5G aims at providing this native support under domain of massive MTC (mMTC) as one of the three major domains it focuses; i.e., enhanced mobile broadband, ultra reliable low latency communication, and mMTC, the enabling technologies and communication architectures are still limited and incomplete considering the nearly standardized efforts under 3GPP Releases 15 and 16. Studies towards 6G should elaborate on enabling truly massive MTC flexibly to support fast growing machine-to-machine (M2M) services with massive number of devices and very diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we study radio resource allocation for mMTC based on the envisioned flexible physical layer architecture for 5G and beyond, possibly including 6G. We first present an overview of the 5G New Radio physical layer aspects particularly focusing on multiple numerologies and discuss the 3GPP features in Releases 15–17 as possible enablers of a flexible radio resource allocation scheme. Then, we propose a polynomial-time persistent resource allocation scheme for M2M communications aiming at meeting diverse QoS requirements of the M2M applications while achieving spectral efficiency. Finally, we present some numerical results and discuss future research directions for access schemes to enable truly massive MTC.

Developing products, services and vertical applications for the future digitized society in the 6G era requires a multidisciplinary approach and a re-imagining of how we create, deliver and consume network resources, data and services. This development will change the traditional business models and ecosystem roles, as well as open the market for new stakeholders like micro-operators, cloud operators and resource brokers. Paper discusses unprecedented opportunities of enabling and stimulating multiple stakeholders to have a more active participation in the future 6G ecosystem via platform-based ecosystemic business models. The research extends the product platform and service modularity concepts beyond connectivity innovations towards multisided transactional ecosystem platforms.

This paper presents an efficient technological solution for ultralong intra/inter-chip optical-wireless nanolink based on the joint use of two different nanoantennas, namely horn and plantenna, aiming 6G applications at 474 THz. Numerical simulations demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach, in which high-performance nanoantennas, acting as optical emitters and receivers, had been properly designed for providing reduced optical propagation losses, low reflection coefficient level, high directivity and high gain. Four different scenarios using horns and plantennas have been evaluated in order to obtain the best configuration for increasing the system reach. Importantly, the plantenna structure acting as receiver significantly enhanced the received power level, through the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances, giving rise to ultralong intra/inter-chip optical wireless nanolink of 32 A, and 40 dB improvement in the link budget.
