In the present technological age, information is a valuable resource for both small and large enterprises as well as for our daily lives. The key enablers that link computer resources and devices together to gather, process, and distribute crucial data both locally and worldwide are network technologies. For our daily lives and commercial operations, network technologies offer effective, adaptable, and seamless communication while maximizing productivity and resources. Due to its significance, this field has undergone a significant evolution in the past few decades, moving away from traditional wired networks and toward Bluetooth, infrared, microwave, radio, and satellite networks. These days, network technologies are not employed only in computer labs, businesses, or homes; a wide range of domains, such as vehicular ad hoc networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and the Internet of Things, have been seen using network technologies. Researchers from academia and industry have worked hard to build and develop software-based network technologies, such as middleware, protocol stacks, and network software architectures, in addition to hardware-based and physical network technologies. The paradigm shift in this field is being driven primarily by software-based network technologies, which have also given rise to numerous new network innovations, including grid computing, cloud computing, fog computing, edge computing, software-defined networks, and content-centric networks. Significant efforts have been made in cellular network technologies to boost the user experience, and as a result, new cellular network technologies, including LTE, VoLTE, and 5G, have also been developed. Efforts continue to be made by researchers in these networking fields due to the demand for and importance of these technologies in present and future situations. Many of these efforts are still in progress, and there are still possibilities that need to be investigated. As a result, it’s important to stay up to date on network technology developments and look into further research difficulties that need to be resolved for the benefit of users. This book will present the most recent and leading research in the field of network technologies in order to achieve solutions for various problems that exist in this domain.

The latest developments and recent progress on the key technologies enabling next-generation 6G mobile networks Toward 6G: A New Era of Convergence offers an up-to-date guide to the emerging 6G vision by describing new human-centric services made possible by combinations of mobile robots, avatars, and smartphones, which will be increasingly replaced with wearable displays and haptic interfaces that provide immersive extended reality (XR) experiences. The authors—noted experts on the topic—include a review of their work and information on the recent progress on the Tactile Internet and multi-sensory haptic communications. The book highlights decentralized edge computing in particular via Ethereum blockchain technologies, most notably the so-called decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for crowdsourcing of human skills to solve problems that machines (such as autonomous artificial intelligence agents and robots) alone cannot solve well. The book also contains a review of the most recent and ongoing work on XR (including virtual/augmented/mixed reality). Specifically, the book describes the implications of the transition from the current gadgets-based Internet to a future Internet that is evolving from bearables (such as smartphones), moves towards wearables (for example Amazon's recently launched voice-controlled Echo Loop ring, glasses, and earbuds), and then finally progresses to nearables with embedded computing technologies and intelligent provisioning mechanisms for the delivery of human-intended services, including sixth-sense perceptions, in a 6G post-smartphone era. This important text: Offers a review of the 6G network architectures and key enabling technologies Explains why 6G should not be a mere exploration of more spectrum at high-frequency bands, but rather a convergence of upcoming technological trends Describes the Tactile Internet's human-in-the-loop centric design principles and haptic communications models Includes analytical frameworks to estimate the fluid orchestration of human + machine co-activities across unified communication network infrastructures Explores the performance gains of cooperative computation offloading with communications and computation limitations in both fronthaul and backhaul Written for students, network researchers, professionals, engineers, and practitioners, Toward 6G: A New Era of Convergence explores the most recent advances on the key technologies enabling next-generation 6G mobile networks, with an emphasis on their seamless convergence.
