one6G publishes '6G Vertical Use Cases' whitepaper

one6G published a whitepaper on 6G Vertical Use Cases couple of months back. The press release said:

On June 13, 2022, one6G released its third White Paper, this time covering 6G vertical use cases. The announcement was made during the ITU-R Working Party 5D meeting.

Given the simultaneous technology evolution and technology adoption across different vertical industries, “6G Vertical Use Cases: Descriptions and Analysis” captures use cases from both technology and vertical industry perspectives. Although the paper does not include an exhaustive list of use cases, it aims to trigger use case-driven technology development.

The reason to place an emphasis on use cases was to identify and understand the specific requirements that need to be addressed as understanding them is fundamental to developing and proposing new technologies. Furthermore, use cases are not only a starting point to identify requirements and technology enablers but also potential business opportunities and go-to-market strategies.

Driven by this motivation, one6G compiled several use cases with elaborated descriptions comprised of background to understand the vertical industry setting, specific requirements that need to be addressed, potential technology gaps to meet the requirements, and a high-level overview of how these use cases can be implemented in practice.

Analyzing multiple vertical industry use cases provided a glimpse into different requirements pertaining to verticals hence allowing to develop holistic solutions, on both technical and business levels.

The introduction provides more details on the paper:

Given the simultaneous technology evolution and technology adoption in different vertical industries, we first try to capture use cases from both technology and vertical industry perspective. Although this white paper does not include an exhaustive list of use cases, it aims to trigger use case driven technology development. The reason to place emphasis on use cases is to primarily identify the specific requirements that need to be addressed. Understanding the requirements is fundamental to developing and proposing technologies. Furthermore, use cases are not only a starting point to identify requirements and technology enablers, but also potential business opportunities and go-to-market strategies. Driven by this motivation, we compile several use cases with relatively elaborate descriptions. The use case descriptions in this white paper comprises of: background to understand the vertical industry setting, the specific requirement that needs to be addressed, the potential technology gaps to meet the requirement, a high-level overview of how the use case can be implemented in practice. With the above details from multiple vertical industry use cases, we can start getting a glimpse of different requirements pertaining to verticals and hence develop holistic solutions, both technical and business.

Focusing specifically on use cases descriptions, this white paper is organized as follows. Various use cases are described in detail in the corresponding section. Then, there is a section where all use cases are grouped as per vertical domains for a better understanding on what are the open issues in the current communication system to support the identified use case and what are expected to be supported for further development of future generation of mobile communication (e.g., 6G). Finally, we have summarized an overview of potential requirements from each vertical domains and what are examples of technology enablers that could fulfill the identified requirements.
