The White Paper Subcommittee under the Planning and Strategy Committee of the Beyond 5G Promotion Consortium, which was active until March 2024, conducted a study of Beyond 5G, which is expected to be put into practical use around 2030, assuming a wide range of usage scenarios covering users' daily lives and many industries, Through these studies, we examined the requirements for communication systems as social infrastructures from various perspectives. Based on the usage scenarios and future technology trends, we examined the key concepts, network requirements, capabilities, architecture, and key technologies of Beyond 5G.
Based on these studies, this white paper summarizes issues and expectations for Beyond 5G from various industries, capabilities required for Beyond 5G, and technology trends.
The Beyond 5G Promotion Consortium was merged with the 5G Mobile Promotion Forum on April 1, 2024 to form the new XG Mobile Promotion Forum (XGMF), which released its 4.0 version of the white paper in December 2024.
This white paper and its annexes will continue to be updated to reflect XGMF's activities in 6G-related projects.
