| NOTAS: | "By 2030, our societies will become digitalized and data-driven, supported by key verticals like connected industries, intelligent transport systems, smart cities, etc. Machine Type Communication (MTC) encompassing its massive and critical aspects, and near instant unlimited wireless connectivity are among the main enablers of such digitalization at large. The recently introduced 5G New Radio is the first wireless standard natively designed to support both aspects of MTC. However, it is evident that some of the more demanding requirements cannot be fully supported by 5G networks. Alongside, further development of the society towards 2030 will give rise to new and more stringent requirements on wireless connectivity in general, and MTC in particular. The next generation wireless network, namely 6G, should therefore be an agile and efficient convergent network designed to meet the diverse and challenging requirements imposed by the societal trends towards 2030." |
