Design and Feasibility Verification of 6G Wireless Communication Systems with State of the Art Technologies

Abstract

Frequencies above 100 GHz are the promising frequency bands for 6G wireless communication systems because of the abundant unexplored and unused spectrum. The increasing global demand for ultra-high spectral efficiencies, data rates, speeds and bandwidths in next-generation wireless networks motivates the exploration of peak capabilities of massive MIMO (Multi–Input–Multi–Output) wireless access technology at THz bands (0.1–10 THz). The smaller wavelengths (order of microns) of these frequencies give an advantage of making high gain antennas with smaller physical dimensions and allows massive spatial multiplexing. This paper presents the design of ultra-massive MIMO (ultra-mMIMO) hybrid beamforming system for multi users and its feasibility to function at THz frequency bands. The functionality of the proposed system is verified at higher order modulation schemes to achieve higher spectral efficiencies using performance metrics that includes error vector magnitude, symbol constellations, and antenna array radiation beams. The performance results suggest to use a particular mMIMO antenna configuration based on number of independent data streams per user and strongly recommended to use higher number of data streams per user in order to achieve higher throughputs that satisfy the needs of 6G wireless systems. Also the performance of the proposed system at 0.14 THz is compared with mmWave systems that operate at 28 GHz and 73 GHz bands to justify the feasibility of the proposed work.

Relay‐assisted multiuser MIMO‐DQSM system for correlated fading channels

“…Thus, new technologies should be considered. Recently, index modulation (IM) in the spatial domain, which is based on multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) techniques, has been considered for the implementation of sixth-generation networks [3,4]. In the IM, part of the information is implicitly embedded into the transmitted signal.…”

Performance enhancement of visible light communication (VLC) system incorporating WMZCC‐OCDMA codes and PDM‐QPSK‐DSP data encoding

“…The success of 5G installations and operations in recent years has prompted academics to look towards 6G, and initiatives are underway in a variety of nations and businesses 2–4 . The International Telecommunication Union has formed a future technological development committee called Network 2030 to investigate futuristic uses in communication 5 . The bandwidth used by 2G to 4G is up to 6 GHz, whereas 5G uses 24–100 GHz.…”
