Editorial: Towards 6G Technologies, Networks, Hardware, and Architectures.

The article discusses the development of 6G technologies, networks, hardware, and architectures. It highlights the need for new solutions to achieve the ambitious goals of 6G, such as peak rate, capacity, latency, reliability, and energy efficiency. The article identifies four main areas of research: new spectrum technologies, AI and ML networks, innovative hardware designs, and emerging network architectures. The special issue includes five papers that cover topics such as hardware-based satellite network broadcast storm suppression, secure uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) IoT systems, RF power stations, fractal antennas, and smart optimization techniques for integrated circuit design. These papers contribute to filling the research gap in the field of 6G technologies. [Extracted from the article]
