Abstract: Sixth-generation mobile networks (6G) are expected to reach extreme communication capabilities to realize emerging applications demanded by the future society. This paper focuses on six technological directions towards 6G, namely, intent-based networking, THz communication, artificial intelligence, distributed ledger technology/blockchain, smart devices and gadget-free communication, and quantum communication. These technologies will enable 6G to be more capable of catering to the demands of future network services and applications. Each of these technologies is discussed highlighting recent developments, applicability in 6G, and deployment challenges. It is envisaged that this work will facilitate 6G related research and developments, especially along the six technological directions discussed in the paper.
