Author: Abhijeet Kumar



  1. eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband): eMBB is one of the primary use cases of 6G, which focuses on improving the speed, capacity, and coverage of mobile broadband networks. It aims to deliver gigabit-level speeds, ultra-low latency, and high reliability to support advanced applications such as virtual and augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, and advanced gaming.
  2. mMTC (Massive Machine Type Communications): mMTC is another critical use case of 6G that addresses the growing demand for IoT connectivity. It aims to provide connectivity for billions of devices with varying requirements, including low power consumption and low data rate transmission.
  3. uRLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications): uRLLC is a use case that focuses on ensuring low latency and high reliability for real-time communication in critical applications such as autonomous vehicles and industrial automation.
  4. AI: 6G is expected to bring artificial intelligence to the network's edge, enabling real-time data processing and decision-making. This will provide the foundation for advanced applications such as autonomous vehicles and smart cities.
  5. Sensing: 6G is expected to support advanced sensing capabilities, including enhanced location accuracy, 3D imaging, and high-resolution sensing, which will be crucial for smart cities, precision agriculture, and industrial automation applications.
  6. Advanced security: With the increasing number of connected devices and transmitting sensitive data, security will be a crucial consideration for 6G. Advanced security mechanisms such as secure device identity, secure data storage, and secure data transmission will be essential to ensure the privacy and security of users and their data.


Some of the real-world use cases for 6G technology:

  1. Autonomous vehicles: 6G will support the development of fully autonomous vehicles with low latency, high-reliability communication, and advanced sensing capabilities.
  2. Virtual and augmented reality: 6G will enable high-quality, low-latency virtual and augmented reality experiences, allowing for new and immersive applications in gaming, entertainment, education, and healthcare.
  3. Industrial automation: 6G will support real-time decision-making and control in industrial automation, enabling new levels of efficiency, accuracy, and safety in the manufacturing and production processes.
  4. Smart cities: 6G will support the development of smart cities with advanced sensing and communication capabilities that will enable new applications such as traffic management, environmental monitoring, and public safety.
  5. Remote surgery: 6G will enable remote surgery with ultra-reliable low-latency communication and advanced sensing capabilities, allowing medical professionals to perform surgeries from a distance.
  6. Precision agriculture: 6G will support precision agriculture with advanced sensing capabilities enabling farmers to monitor crops and soil conditions in real-time, improving crop yields and reducing waste.
  7. Space exploration: 6G will enable new opportunities for space exploration, with the ability to communicate with satellites and other space-based assets in real-time, with low latency and high reliability.
  8. Holographic Verticals and Society: 6G will support holographic communication, allowing for the creation of 3D virtual representations of people, objects, and environments. This will enable new applications in teleconferencing, entertainment, education, and social interaction.
  9. Tactile/Haptic Internet: 6G will support the development of the tactile internet, allowing for transmitting touch sensations over the internet. This will enable new applications in virtual and augmented reality, gaming, and remote control of robotic systems.
  10. Full-Sensory Digital Sensing and Reality: 6G will enable the creation of full-sensory digital environments, with the ability to transmit multiple sensory modalities, such as sight, sound, touch, and smell, over the internet. This will enable new applications in entertainment, education, and social interaction.
  11. Fully Automated Driving: 6G will support the development of fully automated driving, with the ability to communicate with other vehicles and the infrastructure in real-time, with low latency and high reliability. This will enable new levels of safety, efficiency, and comfort in transportation.
  12. Industrial Internet: 6G will support the development of the industrial internet, allowing for real-time decision-making and control in industrial automation. This will enable new efficiency, accuracy, and safety levels in the manufacturing and production processes.
  13. Space Travel: 6G will enable new opportunities for space travel, with the ability to communicate with satellites and other space-based assets in real-time, with low latency and high reliability. This will enable new applications in space exploration, satellite communications, and space-based scientific research.
  14. Deep-Sea Sightseeing: 6G will support the development of deep-sea communication, allowing for data and video transmission from oceanic environments with low latency and high reliability. This will enable new applications in deep-sea exploration, environmental monitoring, and scientific research.
  15. Internet of Bio-Nano-Things: 6G will support the development of the internet of bio-nano-things, allowing for the communication and control of biological and nanotechnology systems. This will enable new applications in precision medicine, environmental monitoring, and scientific research.


These are just a few compelling use cases for 6G technology, which is expected to bring new and innovative applications and drive the digital transformation of industries and society.

Thank you for initiating discussion through use of "6G" term. Firstly, the J. A. Mechaileh remark is valid & definitey needs to be addressed/taken into account. Second, as we are on the shift from "Process-centric" to "Data-centric" Platforms/Networks, also w.r. to "6G" (& plse be vigilant with the use of the term Use Case (UC), you may need to focus on the shift from the current "centric"/"static Management & Orchestartion of "shared resources" to establishing " Composing/integrated set of Dynamic/Changeable Configurations (on both HW/SW in Real-time) as part of the on-going specifications on Programable/Predictable/Deteministic Networking Capabilities assuring End-user Services with guaranteed Latency on a pre-deterministic flow of Data sets with assured Zero-congesstion loss based on configuring & initialization of Resources on Data Plane for use of Data flows reacting in real-tome to changes in specified SLA &/or QoS requirements with time-synchronization of Network Nodes/Hosts for identified critical data streams E2E. Plse, start looking on the End-user Services on both, Network & Application Layers, E2E, (not only on Platform or Sub-Networks/Systems) before you indicate about selected Funstionalities & use the term UC.
