Abstract:

6G technologies are expected to be deployed commercially around 2030.It is expected that 6G will provide performance superior to 5G in the key performance indicators, such as traffic density, connection density, and energy efficiency.In order to meet the personalized and diversified requirements of vertical industries in 2030 and beyond, 6G will adopt many new technologies, such as new network architecture, new physical layer wireless transmission technologies, and new security sustainability technologies.Starting from the potential key technologies in physical layer of 6G, terahertz (THz), ultra-large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), and physical security were introduced mainly.In addition, the challenges of potential key technologies of 6G were briefly introduced, which were expected to provide some reference for future 6G physical layer-related research.

Key words: 6G, THz, ultra-large-scale MIMO, IRS, challenge
