Abstract
This research paper utilizes a systematic literature review methodology, drawing from the Scopus database and
VOSViewer analysis, to investigate the current landscape of 6G telecommunications research and its potential implications.
Our findings indicate that 6G technology is poised to revolutionize wireless communication, with significant ramifications for key
sectors such as autonomous vehicles, transportation, and manufacturing, ushering in an era of unprecedented connectivity and
operational efficiency. A notable trend is the growing interest among researchers in critical technical aspects, including bandwidth,
latency, signal processing, spectrum management, spectral efficiency, Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS), meta-communication,
and beamforming. Geographically, China and the United States lead in 6G research, reflecting a global competition to harness its
transformative potential. Most researchers driving innovation in this field have engineering and computer science backgrounds. We
anticipate the widespread deployment of 6G technology by 2030, with ongoing research efforts focusing on diverse implementation
techniques across industries. Expected advancements encompass Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, Massive Multiple
Input Multiple Output (mMIMO) systems, IRS utilization, novel waveform technologies, meta-communication, Orthogonal Time
Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation, Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), and the integration of Low-Density
Parity-Check (LDPC) codes, all poised to enhance network speed and reduce latency significantly. Furthermore, the Metaverse is
expected to experience exponential growth, driven by the capabilities of the 6G network. This paper contributes original insights to
the burgeoning field of 6G telecommunications, offering a comprehensive overview of its current status and potential implications
across various domains, particularly in management.
