Not long ago, the fifth-generation (5G) telecommunications standard was introduced, and active development is already underway for the sixth-generation (6G) standard. The subject of the study is the key characteristics and requirements of 5G/6G networks. The purpose of the research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the main features of communication networks built using 5G and 6G technologies. The following results have been obtained. Several key aspects of research directions and new technologies for designing 6G radio access networks, which meet the requirements of future wireless communication systems, have been examined. The main characteristics of terrestrial communication networks that must meet the declared requirements for 6G applications are analyzed in detail. Requirements for fifth-generation communication networks are identified, including distributed processing and analysis of large data volumes combined with content caching and delivery to mobile devices, support for ultra-low latency, scalability of arrays, and mobile communication management. These are compared with the projected features of sixth-generation communication networks. Conclusions. The transition to 6G will inevitably intensify the requirements for fifth-generation communication networks and introduce new ones to ensure the operation of systems demanding ultra-high reliability, high availability, and ultra-low response times.Downloads
