The proliferation of smart devices, data-demanding applications, and the emergence of new communication technologies have led to the need for communication systems beyond the next generation of communication networks. Although 5G technology has enhanced the data rate, latency, and connectivity of communication systems, the next generation of applications, such as smart cities, autonomous systems, immersive virtual worlds, and healthcare services, require even greater speeds and intelligent management systems. 6G technology is expected to address the challenges and requirements of the next generation of communication systems and applications, enabling ultrahigh data rates, ultra-low latency, and reliability through the use of advanced communication technologies, such as artificial intelligence, terahertz communication, and edge computing. The paper provides an overview of 6G communication networks, their technology, architecture, and applications, as well as the limitations of the next generation of communication networks and how 6G technology can enable the next generation of communication systems and applications more efficiently and sustainably. The study further highlights the challenges affecting the development and deployment of 6G communication networks, and the findings indicate that 6G technology is expected to play a vital role in the development of intelligent communication systems in the future.
