Beyond theoretical discussions, several 6G projects worldwide have been initiated to define and reshape the framework and business model of wireless communications. Global organizations, including IEEE and the International Telecommunication Union--Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), and industry giants like Google, LG Electronics, Samsung, and SK Telecom, are actively involved in 6G research. Countries worldwide have launched initiatives, showcasing the global interest and participation in the 6G research race [2; 3; 4; 5; 6]. In response to the rapid growth of the mobile communications industry, this paper aims to address the limitations of 5G and delve into the development of 6G. By analyzing progressive studies on 6G, we present a detailed overview. Our contributions include the following:
