Abstract
Significant increase has been witnessed in data usage and users over the years for communication. Development of technology is a necessity hence 5G (5th generation) system is about to launch commercially however over a few years even that won’t be sufficient. 5G networks are being tested and released offering various noteworthy advanced technologies and are anticipated to move forward progressively in upcoming years. Keeping in light the ever-increasing demand, 6G will be the need of the hour. Researchers and scholars around the world instigated to turn their attention to what 6G might be in the next 10 years or more, and many initiatives are already taken in various countries to explore the possible 6G technologies. A major revolution has been attained in the design of communication networks through 5G networks for their capability of providing a single platform, allowing a diversity of different services, from enhanced mobile broadband communications to virtual reality and the internet of things (IoT). However, estimation of the increasing requirements for new facilities and envisaging the expansion of new technologies within a decade from now on, the fact is already imaginable to envision, that to gratify new needs of society. This article aims to extend the vision of 5G soon and contemplates about the ambitious technologies which will lead to the implementation of 6G networks.
