Abstract
The next generation of mobile telecommunication networks should support an increasing number of smart devices, such as cell phones and sensors, provide real-time applications and provide intelligence and trust embedded in the network infrastructure. The sixth generation of mobile networks (6G) envisions new technologies of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and service provision on the Internet of Everything to meet these requirements. This paper aims to survey the challenges and opportunities of enabling technologies for next-generation net-works. The application scenarios for the 6G network technology are smart city environments and large-scale network monitoring. Furthermore, we focus on the next-generation network security, and we identify blockchain technology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence as key enabling core technologies for the 6G network.
