The fifth generation of mobile networks, 5G, is already being commer- cialized in some parts of the world, with the expectation of addressing limitations of current cellular systems and providing an underlying platform for new services to emerge and thrive [1]. 5G was envisioned to be not only a faster 4G, but also an enabler for several other applications, such as the Internet of Everything (IoE), industry automation, intelligent trans- portation, and remote healthcare, to name a few, by providing ultra-high reliability, latency as low as 1 ms, and increased network capacity and data rates [2]. However, despite the emergence of new technologies, such as millimeter waves, massive Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO), and the utilization of higher frequency bands, it is clear that 5G will not be able to attend all of these requirements, albeit improving significantly from its predecessors. As such, research has already shifted towards the next gen- eration of mobile networks, 6G [2-5].
