This book weaves emerging themes in future 6G and Next G networks
carefully together. It points to three spheres of contexts with
different narratives for the year 2030 and beyond, in which the
coming Metaverse as the precursor of the future Multiverse can be
embedded naturally. The book aims at providing the reader with new
cross-disciplinary research material, ranging from communication
and computer science to cognitive science, social sciences, and
behavioral economics, for building a deeper Metaverse. It will be
instrumental in helping the reader find and overcome some of the
most common 6G and Next G blind spots. Modern networks are more
than communication and computer science. They may be better viewed
as techno-social systems that exhibit complex adaptive system
behavior and resemble biological superorganisms. 6G and especially
Next G should go beyond continuing the linear incremental 6G=5G+1G
mindset of past generations of mobile networks. To this end, the
book: Helps readers inquire into new areas of knowledge or
understanding that they didn't have or didn't pay attention to find
their 6G/Next G blind spots Highlights the unique potential
benefits of the virtual world for society in that it provides a
useful extension of the real-world economy by compensating for its
well-known market failures, e.g., rising income inequality Provides
a comprehensive description of the original Metaverse vision and
highlights the different Metaverse components, applications, open
research challenges, and early Metaverse deployment examples from
both industry and academia Describes how the Multiverse goes beyond
the Metaverse origins and explores the importance of experience
innovation since experiences play a central role in the Metaverse
Explains Web3 and the emerging field of token engineering and
tokenization, i.e., the process of creating tokenized digital twins
via programmable tokens, which are viewed as the killer application
of Web3 networks for creating technology-enabled social organisms
and restoring tech-driven common goods Reviews anticipated 6G
paradigm shifts and elaborates on the difference between 6G and
Next G research, including Next G Alliance's audacious goals and
their symbiotic relationship between technology and a population's
societal and economic needs Doubles down on the mutually beneficial
symbiosis between digitalization and biologization for our possible
evolution into future metahumans with infinite capabilities by
making us smarter and creating a fundamentally new form of
sociality in the Metaverse and Multiverse as well as the future
stigmergy enhanced Society 5.0 by leveraging on time-tested
self-organization mechanisms borrowed from nature Presents a
variety of different concepts of the true nature of reality that
bring us closer to the original Metaverse vision and explains how
6G, Next G, and the Metaverse may eventually pave the way to the
peak-experience machine that democratizes access to the upper range
of human experiences Touches on the possible transition from
communication to services beyond communication, most notably the
cross-cultural phenomenon of communitas in anthropology and its
increasing degrees of perceived connectedness with others, the
world, and oneself, given the importance of creating a deep sense
of community in the Metaverse Written for students, network
researchers, professionals, engineers, and practitioners, 6G and
Onward to Next G: The Road to the Multiverse explores the latest
Internet developments, with a particular focus on 6G and Next G
networks in the context of the emerging Metaverse and future
Multiverse as the successors of today's mobile Internet that has
defined the last two decades.
