As a result\, the topology of 6G wirele ss technology will extend to 3D vertical networking. With its extended ser vice\, 6G will also give rise to new challenges which include\, the introd uction of intelligent reflective surfaces (IRS)\, the mmWave spectrum\, th e employment of massive MIMO systems\, and the agility of networks. Along with the advancement in networking technology\, user devices are also evol ving rapidly\, with the emergence of highly capable cellphones\, smart IoT equipment\, and wearable devices. One of the key elements of 6G technolog y is the need for accurate positioning information. The accuracy of today ’s positioning systems is not acceptable for many applications of future \, especially in smart environments. In this talk\, we will discuss how po sitioning can be a key enabler of 6G\, and what challenges the next genera tion of localization technology will face when integrated within the new w ireless networks.\n\nShahrokh Valaee is a Professor with the Edward S.
