Abstract

With the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the way we live and communicate with each other is changing rapidly. As urban environments continue to evolve, the smart sustainable city (SSC) has sparked considerable attention. We are hoping for a new era in which numerous devices and machines including vehicles, sensors, and robots are all connected to communicate, respond, and operate in real time. The next-generation communication system, the sixth generation (6G), is expected to play a crucial role in improving the efficiency of urban operations and services. In this paper, we first provide the recent trends and key features of standardization in the SSC. To make the future SSC, we highlight key candidate technologies of 6G such as non-terrestrial networks, advanced mobile edge computing, vision-aided wireless communication, artificial intelligence (AI)-based wireless communication, and integrated sensing and communication. We put forth the main technical challenges given to each prime technology along with the potential benefits to pave the way for 6G-enabled SSC. We further address how the potential benefits of prime technologies enable various urban practice cases for 6G-enabled SSC.
