## Resource

Podcast #26 of IEEE Communications Technology News (CTN) features host Professor Aryan Kaushik in conversation with Professors Huseyin Arslan and Cicek Cavdar. Together, they reflect on the lessons learned from 5G deployment and explore how those experiences are shaping the evolution of 6G standards and technologies. The discussion examines key technology enablers, including advanced waveform design to support converged services, non-terrestrial networks (NTN) to extend connectivity to underserved regions, and integrated sensing as a means of enabling new classes of applications and services. The speakers also discuss the growing role of artificial intelligence in 6G, not only as a tool for network automation and optimization, but also as a foundational capability that will enable more intelligent, adaptive, and context-aware wireless systems. Rather than viewing 6G as a replacement for 5G, the conversation focuses on how the next generation of wireless networks can fulfill the original promises of 5G while introducing entirely new capabilities. Throughout the podcast, Professors Arslan and Cavdar offer thoughtful, practical, and balanced perspectives on the opportunities, technical challenges, and research directions that will define the path toward 6G. Speakers: Prof. Aryan Kaushik CEO and Director, OUF Innovative, UK IEEE CTN Senior Editor Chair, IEEE ComSoc TWG on ESIT and SIG on AITNTN Vice Chair WG3 one6G Prof. Huseyin Arslan Professor, Medipol University, Turkiye Prof. Cicek Cavdar Professor, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
