Abstract	Next-generation wireless communication technologies are transforming modern societies by enabling intelligent, highly connected, and data-driven ecosystems. The rapid evolution from 5G towards 6G networks is facilitating ultra-low latency, massive machine-type communications, enhanced mobile broadband, and ubiquitous connectivity for smart cities, intelligent transportation, Industry 5.0, healthcare, education, agriculture, and public services. Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), Edge Computing, Cloud Computing, Digital Twin Technology, Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Blockchain, Satellite Communication, Terahertz (THz) Communication, Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (Massive MIMO), and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) are redefining wireless communication infrastructures for sustainable and resilient smart societies. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of Next-Generation Wireless Communication Technologies for Smart Societies. A qualitative analytical research methodology based on secondary data is employed to examine advanced wireless network architectures, intelligent communication systems, AI-driven network management, smart infrastructure connectivity, and multidisciplinary applications. The research evaluates how next-generation wireless technologies enhance communication efficiency, digital inclusion, industrial automation, healthcare delivery, transportation systems, environmental monitoring, and smart governance. The findings indicate that advanced wireless communication significantly improves network capacity, spectrum efficiency, intelligent resource allocation, autonomous mobility, remote healthcare, industrial automation, and digital public services. Artificial Intelligence enables predictive network optimisation, while Edge Computing reduces communication latency by processing data closer to end devices. Massive MIMO and Terahertz communication increase transmission capacity, whereas blockchain enhances secure device authentication and trusted data exchange within wireless ecosystems. Despite these opportunities, challenges remain concerning spectrum scarcity, cybersecurity threats, infrastructure investment, interoperability, energy consumption, privacy protection, regulatory harmonisation, and digital inequality. Future research should investigate AI-native 6G networks, quantum-secure wireless communication, integrated terrestrial–satellite systems, semantic communication, intelligent spectrum sharing, and sustainable green networking. The study concludes that next-generation wireless communication technologies provide the digital foundation for building resilient, sustainable, and intelligent societies by enabling seamless connectivity, intelligent services, and multidisciplinary digital transformation.
