Vision, enabling technologies, and scenarios for a 6G-Enabled internet of verticals (6G-IoV)
journal contribution

While the 5G for vertical sectors is aiming at connectivity requirements of specific verticals, such as manufacturing, automotive and energy, we envisage that in the longer term the expansion of wide area cellular connectivity to these sectors will pave the way for a transformation to a new Internet of Verticals (IoV) in the 6G era, which we call 6G-IoV. In this paper, we describe our vision of 6G-IoV and examine its emerging and future architectural and networking enablers. We then illustrate our vision by describing a number of future scenarios of the 6G-IoV, namely the Internet of Cloud Manufacturing accounting for around 25% of digital services and products, the Internet of Robotics to cater the challenges of the growing number of robotics and expected 7% increase in usage over the coming years and the Internet of Smart Energy Grids for net-zero energy balance and shifting to 100% dependence on the renewables of energy generation.
