In the ever-connected world of today, the demand for mobile communications and instant access to information has undergone a remarkable transformation, reshaping the electronics landscape across both consumer and industrial sectors. The advent of novel 5G and 6G systems promises to usher in a new era of connectivity, enabling seamless connections between humans, devices, machines, and even objects. These cutting-edge networks will provide virtually ubiquitous, ultra-high bandwidth, and low latency network access to individual users, as well as to a wide range of objects that can benefit from being connected.

As we move towards a future where artificial intelligence (AI) systems play a pivotal role, these networks will serve as the eyes and ears of these intelligent systems, enabling real-time data collection and analysis. The sheer diversity of applications and use cases that 5G and 6G will enable calls for a new paradigm in terms of flexibility, not only in terms of performance but also in terms of scalability and cost.

One of the key implications of 5G and 6G communication systems is the significant shift in sovereignty and autonomy they bring to the communication sector and digital infrastructures of the future. The interconnectedness of various products and services supported by connectivity will have a profound impact on citizens' daily lives, improving everything from business operations to personal interactions. This interconnectedness will influence society on a similar scale to how smart phones have transformed our lives in recent years.

In this book, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research results in the field of 5G and 6G communication systems. Drawing upon the close collaboration within the BEYOND5 project, we have extended our insights with vision and roadmap perspectives provided by European experts at the forefront of 6G development. The BEYOND5 project has established a fully European supply chain for Radio-Frequency Electronics, enabling the exploration of new RF domains for sensing, communication, 5G radio infrastructure, and beyond. As we venture into higher frequency bands above 100 GHz for 6G, we will also witness the emergence of more disruptive technologies, leveraging heterogeneous integration of CMOS, SOI, and III/V components.

The future of communication and connectivity holds immense promise, and this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers alike. By exploring the latest advancements in 5G and 6G technology, we can better understand the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead, shaping the future of our connected world.
