Abstract
A delay, interruption, or failure in the wireless connection has a significant impact on the performance of wirelessly connected medical equipment. Researchers presented the fastest technological innovations and industrial changes to address these problems and improve the applications of information and communication technology. The development of the 6G communication infrastructure was greatly aided by the use of Block-chain technology, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and the Internet of Things (IoT). In this article, we comprehensively discuss 6G technologies enhancement, its fundamental architecture, difficulties, and other issues associated with it. In addition, the outcomes of our research help make 6G technology more applicable to real-world medical environments. The most important thing that this study has contributed is an explanation of the path that future research will take and the current state-of-the-art. This study might serve as a jumping-off point for future researchers in the academic world who are interested in investigating the possibilities of 6G technological developments.
