In this article, we present our vision of the application scenarios, performance metrics, and potential key technologies of 6G wireless communication networks. We then comprehensively survey 6G wireless channel measurements, characteristics, and models for all frequency bands and all scenarios, focusing on millimeter-wave (mm-wave), terahertz, and optical wireless communication channels under all spectra;

Terahertz (THz)-band communications are currently being celebrated as a key technology that could fulfill the increasing demands for wireless data traffic in 6G wireless communications. Many challenges, such as high propagation losses and power limitations, which result in short communication distances, have yet to be addressed for this technology to be realized. Ultramassive multiple-input, multiple-output

Employing massively distributed antennas brings radio access points (RAPs) closer to users, enabling aggressive spectrum reuse that can bridge gaps between the scarce spectrum resource and extremely high connection densities in future wireless systems. Examples include the cloud radio access network (C-RAN), ultradense network (UDN), and cell-free massive multiple-input, multiple-output (CF-mMIMO)

5G radio for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and beyond5G concepts at 0.1-1 THz can exploit angle and delay measurements for localization through an increased bandwidth and large antenna arrays, but they are limited in terms of blockage caused by obstacles. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are seen as a transformative technology that can control the physical propagation environment in which they

Recent advances in programmable metasurfaces, known as software-defined metasurfaces (SDMs), offer a paradigm shift from uncontrollable to fully tunable and customizable wireless propagation environments, enabling a plethora of new applications and technological trends.

The classical approach of avoiding or ignoring interference in wireless networks cannot accommodate the ambitious quality-of-service (QoS) demands of ultradense cellular networks (CNs). However, recent ground-breaking information-theoretic advances have changed our perception of interference from that of a foe to a friend. This article aims to shed light on harnessing the benefits of integrating modern

6G networks are expected to provide extremely high capacity and satisfy emerging applications, but current frequency bands may not be sufficient. Moreover, 6G will provide superior coverage by integrating space/air/underwater networks with terrestrial networks, given that traditional wireless communications are not able to provide high-speed data rates for nonterrestrial networks. Visible light communication

Airborne base stations (BSs) (carried by drones) have a great potential to enhance the coverage and capacity of 6G cellular networks. However, one of the main challenges facing the deployment of airborne BSs is the limited available energy at the drone, which curtails the flight time. In fact, most current unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can only operate for a maximum of 1 h. The need to frequently

Mass autonomy promises to revolutionize a wide range of engineering, service, and mobility industries.
