Abstract: With the start of standardization of 6G being imminent, the shape that future mobile networks will take is becoming increasingly clearer. We begin with an overview of the current industry trends and future human needs that are driving the contours of the next generation of mobile networks. We will then describe the technologies that will be at the foundation of the three main themes, namely extreme connectivity, AI-native, and integrated sensing and communications that are likely to characterize future mobile networks. Extreme connectivity in new spectrum bands will rely on advances in massive MIMO enabling its evolution to extreme MIMO. Pervasive use of AI techniques across the layers of the protocol stack with a solid management framework will pave the way for AI-native networks. Integrating sensing into communications coupled with an API exposure framework will offer new opportunities for monetization. We will discuss the various opportunities and challenges across these novel technologies.
