With advancements in distributed autonomous systems (e.g., vehicles, sensors, and robots) in the 5G/6G era, sidelink communication technology has evolved as a distributed communication system in the third generation partnership project (3GPP). However, the current low-rate point-to-point sidelink communication design is not suitable for rapid development of such autonomous systems. Instead, based on sidelink, developing distributed wireless personal area networks (WPANs) with a drastically higher rate are essential. The overarching goal of this study is to explore the possibility of sidelink communication evolution to 1) form a distributed and autonomous WPAN and 2) support millimeter wave (mmWave) bands. Our core idea is to merge several design concepts of the precedented mmWave WPAN standards, i.e., IEEE 802.15.3c/11ad, into the sidelink communications, thereby bridging the gap between the two separated systems. This paper presents the anatomy of the IEEE 802.15.3c/11ad system with a focus on the formation of mmWave WPANs among distributed nodes and their operation. In addition, the current status of sidelink communication system design is highlighted, along with the missing building blocks, which are required to develop 3GPP sidelink-based mmWave WPAN systems. Simulation results on network formation signaling in the mmWave WPANs shed light on merging IEEE 802.15.3c/11ad concepts into 3GPP sidelink communication.

“…First, one adjacent UE or the UE involved in sidelink communication, termed the synchronization reference UE (SyncRefUE), serves as a synchronization source that helps adjacent nodes synchronize with each other in terms of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) slot timing and a slot index. This synchronization is achieved by SyncRefUE broadcasting a synchronization frame termed the PSBCH block [85], which occupies one OFDMA slot 9 and contains both a timing synchronization sequence based on the M-sequence/Gold-sequence [86] and information on a current slot index [87,88]. The M-sequence was chosen because of its better autocorrelation property [86] compared with the Zadoff-Chu sequence used in the preceding LTE sidelink synchronization signal [89] under frequency offsets that occur in a higher frequency band.…”

One of the most important paradigm shifts nowadays regarding future 6G communication is related, from one side to the desire of bringing services and data as close as possible to the end users, and from another side, to empower the user with control over their data and personal information. In this vision, private 6G networks will shape trusted zones where data center services are placed at the edge of the network. The services will follow a Web3 approach, where decentralization and zerotrust mechanisms are predominant. In this environment, a decentralized authentication mechanism is needed. In this paper, we propose a 6G architecture and a blockchain-like authentication scheme based on Verifiable Credentials. Our model uses zerotrust technology for a better and more trusted Internet.
