There is no official 6G. However you can ask the question of the next generation of networks, following the currently defined 5G generation of networks.
The best source for this matter may be ITU-T-FG-Net2030, which is the international group under United Nations/International Telecommunications Union, in charge of exploring the needs and candidate solutions for networks by 2030. Look them up on the internet:
As others are saying, it is far too early to say what 6G will be. We first need to see what 5G becomes and then determine what can be improved beyond 5G.
There are several papers that speculate about 6G but it just speculation.
Thank you guys for all the answers, the reason behinde my question was due to several articles that are already propsed systems that are suggested to be a 6G communication systems with no much differences in regarding to the 5G systems.
I agree with professor Emil Björnson, as most of the researches now are focusing on wireless connectivity, network analysis algorithms, distributed and soft computing techniques and experimental test network towards 6G Technology.
In first 6G flagship summit, University of Oulu, researcher had recommanded some massive change in 6G, such as terahertz frequency, Post Massive MIMO and so on.But, hardware design for that will be a great barrier.
In that summit, all the researcher agreed that, 6G will be mostly dominated by Artificial Intelligence.
Now, they are working on White paper for 6G.They invite the researchers to join with the research.
One can envision the main buzzwords of the current research discourse as part of the future 6G. However, in addition to what and to what use 5G will become, and in addition to what new possibilities are offered from the academia side, how the society and user-end requirements change will also be a factor. E.g., will the jump to 6G be motivating enough as it was in the 4-5G transition, considering the change of focus/priorities on energy/climate issues, ... It very well may be that the progress of wireless technologies to be slowed down as other problems burden the world economy, hence keeping it at the level of "slight improvement of what is there", instead of the sweet revolutionary approach we had towards 5G. Even if new ideas/enabling technologies presented.
While the basic idea is to keep improving the metrics 5G had promised, I think, at this stage, most of the materials related to 6G are based on speculation. We may see new technologies on top of the current 5G ones, but, again, at this time, I think this is early to comment. We have to wait for a while to understand where are we at with current 5G before answering what 6G will be.
The most interesting thing about 6G that some instituts are working on smell identification on mobile communication. This is going to be the revolution in the 5th dimension of services.
At this preliminary stage of 5G, only a speculative perspective on 6G can be rendered. Such views are, however, highly valuable to initiate discussions and set the research directions. Also, more ambitious reasoning at initial stages helps in setting more promising longterm goals.
The following article may be a good read for getting an overview of the potential 6G technologies:
As for me, my take on what is 6g should not be discussed for now except the features of 5g have been fully explored and utilized while pointing out the limitations of 5g. Then, it is sufficient to now discuss what 6g will bring to the table and space of technology.
I think that we have now a good time for development futures capabilities concepts of 6G. All limitation of 5G already studied and such innformation is the ground for the evolving signal processing methods and systems designs. In my opinioin very important will be photonics-based integration of communication and radar systems on Bases Stations to spatial selection of UAVs and UGVs.
In terms of a definition of what 6G technology might be, it is probably a little early to give an exact definition.
What can be said is that 6G, or the sixth-generation wireless communications system is the successor to 5G cellular technology. It is anticipated that 6G networks will be able to use higher frequencies than 5G networks and this will enable higher data rates to be achieved and for the 6G network to have a much greater overall capacity. A much lower latency level will almost certainly be a requirement.
Overall it is expected that 6G mobile technology will be to support one micro-second or even sub-microsecond latency communications, making communications almost instantaneous.
The technology after 5G is 6G, which is mainly for higher bandwidth, high speed data transfer. The main focus may be on smart devices, high resolution imaging, near distance applications, bio-medical areas, etc.
In my opinion, we are still in a preliminary stage of 5G and it is hard to speculate what 6G will be as it should try to remediate the places where 5G felt short. However, the research community seems to be focusing on many topics which 'could' be used in 6G. These include: Intelligent Reflecting surfaces, Terahertz (THz) communications and (of course) machine learning solutions (for e.g., for spectrum access, channel estimation, ...) to provide more reliable and faster communications.
6G появится достаточно скоро. Приблизительно через 3-5 лет. И бренд 6G появится не в результате какого - то технологического прогресса. А просто бизнесу понадобиться новый бренд для увеличения прибыли. При этом, конечно, появятся и новые востребованные услуги для пользователей.
6G will be a key enabler of Internet of Everything applications that are dispruting the vision of 5G. These applications are extended reality, flying vehicles, brain computer inferfacing, among others. Although 5G is still under development, it seems difficult for 5G to meet the reuqirements of the aforementioned IoE applications.

6G (sixth-generation wireless) is the successor to 5G cellular technology -- 6G networks will be able to use higher frequencies than 5G networks and provide substantially higher capacity and much lower latency. One of the goals of the 6G Internet will be to support one micro-second latency communications, representing 1,000 times faster -- or 1/1000th the latency -- than one millisecond throughput.
The 6G technology market is expected to facilitate large improvements in the areas of imaging, presence technology and location awareness. Working in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), the computational infrastructure of 6G will be able to autonomously determine the best location for computing to occur; this includes decisions about data storage, processing and sharing.
One application area can be: to integrate terrestrial wireless with satellite systems, for ubiquitous always-on broadband global network coverage. The designing and optimization of 6G architectures, protocols, and operations will be AI assisted.
I suggest this article for general overview: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1904.11686.pdf
china has started development of 6g and china is successfully tested 5g technology in some areas. but its launched completely in soon .
the innovation of 6g technology is being invented by Korea, China, japan, usa, russia in these days. but its under discussion and under development stage, beside this 5G is not completely launched yet.
I would really recommend you to have a look at my recent paper (6G Wireless Communications Networks: A Comprehensive Survey). Many technologies have been discussed, which I believe will be part of future 6G wireless communications networks.
Here is an attempt to clarify this question through a recent vision paper on 6G upper midband on FR3 (7-24 GHz), including channel modeling, spectral agility, multiband sensing and ORAN:
