The 5G networks which have begun to spread worldwide are expected to contribute to an increase in the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications, which require massive connectivity, security, and ultra-low latency. However, it is known that 5G alone is not sufficient for many IoT devices to exchange various types of data in real time. These constraints promote the emergence of 6G technologies which can support higher network capacity, lower latency, and faster data transmission than 5G networks. To understand the current trends in 6G research and their relation to IoT, this paper introduces the main drivers of 6G technology, describes 6G’s enabling technologies, summarizes current 6G research, and introduces the possible applications of 6G to IoT technologies and service areas.

预计已开始在全球范围内蔓延的5G网络将有助于增加物联网（IoT）技术和应用程序的使用，这些技术和应用程序需要大量的连接性，安全性和超低延迟。但是，众所周知，仅5G不足以使许多IoT设备实时交换各种类型的数据。这些限制推动了6G技术的出现，与5G网络相比，6G技术可以支持更高的网络容量，更低的延迟和更快的数据传输。为了了解6G研究的当前趋势及其与物联网的关系，本文介绍了6G技术的主要驱动因素，描述了6G的使能技术，总结了当前的6G研究，并介绍了6G在物联网技术和服务领域的可能应用。
