6G Network Architecture – A Proposal for Early Alignment: Network evolution to support the 6G vision, use cases and requirements within the 2030 time frame is a topic of great interest in the telecommunications industry today. To ensure the smooth introduction of 6G, and the ability to monetize on it from day one, Ericsson advocates early alignment on a common set of principles that will lead toward a more focused ecosystem.
