Abstract: Traditional wireless communication systems have extensively used far-field spatial resources. However, with the emergence of sixth-generation (6G) networks, the exploration and utilization of near-field resources have become imperative. These resources introduce novel physical spatial dimensions to wireless communication systems. By leveraging higher frequency bands—such as midband, millimeter-wave, and terahertz frequencies—and integrating technologies like reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), ultra-large-scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO), and cell-free networks, near-field communication (NFC) is set to become a critical enabler for 6G networks. This paradigm shift challenges the conventional far-field plane wave assumptions, necessitating a reevaluation of strategies for spatial resource management.Although traditional systems have effectively exploited far-field spatial resources, the adoption of near-field resources in 6G networks presents opportunities to redefine wireless communication systems. This shift toward NFC catalyzes research into innovative technological paradigms. NFC has the potential to significantly improve spectrum efficiency, data transmission rates, and spatial precision, enabling advanced applications in domains such as augmented reality, high-precision localization, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), and secure wireless power transfer. This work examines key factors influencing the development and application of NFCs.
