The sixth generation of wireless communication (6G), succeeding 5G cellular technology, opens up several possibilities in terms of technology and its offered services. 6G is expected to allow usage of available higher frequency spectrums to cater to increased capacity, throughput, and low latency (<1 µs). 6G will witness the unification of various technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), etc., to provide an immersive user experience. It is foreseen as the accelerator of transformation and innovation globally. To make this book a fundamental resource, we have invited world-renowned experts in 6G from the industry and academia to pen down their ideas on different aspects of 6G research. The chapters in this book cover a broader scope and various related and unrelated verticals. Specifically, this book covers the following topics: 6G use cases, requirements, and enabling technologies new spectrums and their challenges for 6G privacy preservation in 6G networks aerial infrastructure for 6G networks economic challenges associated with 6G wireless networks. The encompassing intent of this book is to explore the evolution from current 5G networks towards the future 6G networks from a service, air interface, and network perspective, thereby laying out a vision for 6G networks.

Aim The overall aim of the Journal of Communication, Navigation, Sensing and Services (CONASENSE) is to provide a common platform for exchanging ideas among the communities, both the academic and industrial, involved in the fields of Communications, Navigation and Sensing, with emphasis on multidisciplinary views and Smart/Intelligent services that require the effective and efficient integration of these three fields of research and development. Scope The Journal will publish articles on novel research and the latest advances, in the field of communication (in particular, wireless communication), navigation and sensing with special emphasis on the challenges, new concepts and future enablers for the interaction/integration of these technologies for the successful provision of smart/intelligent services. The fields of interest include: All communications/sensing/navigation systems and techniques, protocols which enable awareness of the physical environment, effective and fast feedback loops between actuation and sensing, a flexible and cognitive architecture which comply with essential requirements like safety, security, near-zero power consumption as well as size, usability and adaptability constraints. Control theory aspects in presence of wireless or lossy feedback links (i.e. network control theory), distributed control systems; Services and applications such as smart grid, Ambient Assisted Living, Ambient-Intelligence, Smart Cities, Smart Environment, Context-aware services, location-based services, e-Health, but more in general innovative services and applications for contributing to solving societal challenges. Data management such as data mining, data retrieval, decision-making algorithms.
