Abstract
The forthcoming sixth-generation (6G) networks require transformative improvements in spectral efficiency, latency, and energy performance. This review highlights the novelty of integrating quantum-inspired approaches with Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) transceivers, offering a new paradigm for 6G communication. The fusion of quantum-inspired algorithms with FBMC enables advanced interference management, improved robustness, and adaptability for diverse applications such as intelligent transportation, immersive extended reality, and ultra-reliable low-latency communication. Key challenges, including hardware complexity, scalability, and algorithmic optimization, are critically examined. The article further outlines future research directions, emphasizing how this integration can shape efficient, intelligent, and resilient 6G transceivers.
