The 6G wireless technology is expected to support extreme communication requirements in terms of throughput, latency, and reliability, as well as seamless interconnection of every object, processes, and people. The connectivity will be expanded to include wearables, bio-implants, intelligent machines, and vehicle components. To effectively represent the real world in a digital world for augmenting intelligence and making smart decisions, the vast computational needs must be widely distributed among devices, access points, edge, and central clouds. The ambitious 6G vision and envisaged use cases translate into rigorous performance requirements, which may lead to demands in data rates above 100 Gbps, fraction of millisecond (ms) latencies, and reliability in the order of 10 −7 to 10 −9 , which are beyond what is currently supported by 5G. Such extreme performance requirements can only be met by deploying necessary network infrastructure components, along with the intelligence and decision-making capabilities, to the very edge or in the proximity of the user.
