Toward 6G - Hexa-X Project's Key Findings
Journal article, 2025
We present key findings of the European 6G flagship project Hexa-X. An overview of the envisioned end-to-end architecture and key technical enablers is provided. We highlight the key performance and value indicators (KPIs and KVIs) for evaluating 6G systems. We present key findings based on the contributions made toward societal values in terms of KVIs, and performance evaluations in relation to the KPIs. Finally, we discuss the innovation potential of the enablers and the out-look of research and standardization toward 6G.
