6G Networks for Next Generation of Digital TV Beyond 2030

Area of Science:

• Telecommunications Engineering
• Network Architecture
• Multimedia Systems

Background:

• The evolution of TV consumption has shifted towards Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms and Video on Demand (VOD) services.
• Advancements in wireless technologies have enabled high-definition and ultra-high-definition streaming, with mobile broadband offering ubiquitous access.
• Recent global events like the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted network vulnerabilities and traffic congestion, impacting Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia streaming.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a novel 6G Quality of Service (QoS) architecture tailored for future digital TV and multimedia services.
• To ensure superior QoS for consumers and prosumers in the post-2030 era, anticipating increased demand for high-quality video content.
• To address the limitations of current 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) networks in handling escalating multimedia traffic.

Main Methods:

• Conceptualization of a new 6G wireless architecture.
• Focus on QoS provisioning for next-generation digital television.
• Planning for network resilience and capacity enhancement.

Main Results:

• The proposed 6G architecture is designed to provide excellent Quality of Service (QoS).
• It aims to overcome the limitations faced by current networks during periods of high demand and congestion.
• The architecture is optimized for the future demands of digital TV and multimedia services.

Conclusions:

• A novel 6G QoS architecture is essential for the future of digital TV.
• Continuous network infrastructure improvement is critical to meet the growing demands of multimedia services.
• 6G network planning must prioritize ultimate QoS for prosumers beyond 2030.
