ABSTRACT

Compared to the fifth generation (5G), beyond 5G (B5G) is expected to improve network capabilities by using a higher frequency band to deliver high network capacity with lower latency in order to support diverse application ranging from smart transformation and energy management to healthcare and public safety. To develop network-aware application in order to satisfy customer demands, softwarization and virtualization are the main drivers for innovation in B5G. On the other hand, 6G innovation will be driven by key technology such as artificial intelligence (AI)-native wireless and-to-end design and the continued digital-physical convergence. The transition to 6G offers an opportunity across network architecture and radio-access for improved efficiency, scalability and speed in delivering services. In the near future, the Smart City (SC) will be characterized by the reliable flow of data from inter-connected wired and wireless networks. The coming B5G allow for significant performance enhancements and the ability for mobile network operators. The process allows networks to be broken into numerous slices that can be managed independently, not affected each other. The challenges faced in Smart Cities are addressed through continuous by regulators industry, applications, network operators service/technology providers and public partnership organizations. This will allow the opportunities brought about slice technology to be maximized.
