In the rapidly evolving landscape of wireless communication, each successive generation of networks has achieved significant technological leaps, profoundly transforming the way we connect and interact. From the analog simplicity of 1G to the digital prowess of 5G, the journey of mobile networks has been marked by constant innovation and escalating demands for faster, more reliable, and more efficient communication systems. As 5G becomes a global reality, laying the foundation for an interconnected world, the quest for even more advanced networks leads us to the threshold of the sixth-generation (6G) era. This paper presents a hierarchical exploration of 6G networks, poised at the forefront of the next revolution in wireless technology. This study delves into the technological advancements that underpin the need for 6G, examining its key features, benefits, and key enabling technologies. We dissect the intricacies of cutting-edge innovations like terahertz communication, ultra-massive MIMO, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), quantum communication, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. Through a meticulous analysis, we evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, and state-of-the-art research in these areas, offering a wider view of the current progress and potential applications of 6G networks. Central to our discussion is the transformative role of AI in shaping the future of 6G networks. By integrating AI and ML, 6G networks are expected to offer unprecedented capabilities, from enhanced mobile broadband to groundbreaking applications in areas like smart cities and autonomous systems. This integration heralds a new era of intelligent, self-optimizing networks that promise to redefine the parameters of connectivity and digital interaction. We also address critical challenges in the deployment of 6G, from technological hurdles to regulatory concerns, providing a holistic assessment of potential barriers. By highlighting the interplay between 6G and AI technologies, this study maps out the current landscape and lights the path forward in this rapidly evolving domain. This paper aims to be a cornerstone resource, providing essential insights, addressing unresolved research questions, and stimulating further investigation into the multifaceted realm of 6G networks. By highlighting the synergy between 6G and AI technologies, we aim to illuminate the path forward in this rapidly evolving field.

This review examines the advanced development and implementation of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) in smart radio environments (SREs) to enhance secure communications. IRS technology, including intelligent walls and software‐controlled metasurfaces, is designed to manipulate electromagnetic waves, thereby significantly improving wireless communication. The study highlights the importance of dynamic, nearly passive IRS, which combine multiple elements to create surfaces capable of diverse wave manipulations. Cutting‐edge techniques such as nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and machine learning are employed to optimize IRS functions, enhancing secrecy rates and resilience against eavesdropping. Despite their ease of reconfiguration and affordability, IRSs are vulnerable to several security threats, a concern that has not been extensively explored in current research. This review aims to fill this gap by offering a comprehensive analysis of the security challenges associated with IRS‐enabled wireless networks. The effectiveness of IRS is compared to traditional wireless relays, with special attention to the simultaneous transmitting and reflecting intelligent reflecting surface (STAR‐IRS) model that provides 360° coverage. Key findings suggest that IRS can greatly enhance secure communications, improving wireless network performance, reliability, and adaptability. This paper underscores the pivotal role of IRS technology in the future of wireless networks, presenting new opportunities for secure and efficient communication systems.
