Abstract
This paper argues that the process adopted to design 5G was not fully successful, with few of the design goals being met, and with more limited deployment and lower consumer enthusiasm than previous generations. This was because of undue influence from manufacturers and politicians and insufficient input from mobile operators and users. Hence, it is appropriate to question whether a different approach should be adopted to deliver 6G. The question is timely; within a year or two the approach towards 6G and its key targets will become increasingly hard to change.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications and Networking (IJITN) examines timely and important telecommunications and networking issues, problems, and solutions from a multidimensional, interdisciplinary perspective for researchers and practitioners. IJITN emphasizes the cross-disciplinary viewpoints of electrical engineering, computer science, information technology, operations research, business administration, economics, sociology, and law. The journal publishes theoretical and empirical research findings, case studies, and surveys, as well as the opinions of leaders and experts in the field. The journal''s coverage of telecommunications and networking is broad, ranging from cutting edge research to practical implementations. Published articles must be from an interdisciplinary, rather than a narrow, discipline-specific viewpoint. The context may be industry-wide, organizational, individual user, or societal. Topics Covered: -Emerging telecommunications and networking technologies -Global telecommunications industry business modeling and analysis -Network management and security -New telecommunications applications, products, and services -Social and societal aspects of telecommunications and networking -Standards and standardization issues for telecommunications and networking -Strategic telecommunications management -Telecommunications and networking cultural issues and education -Telecommunications and networking hardware and software design -Telecommunications investments and new ventures -Telecommunications network modeling and design -Telecommunications regulation and policy issues -Telecommunications systems economics
