The concept of sustainable development is at the forefront of the global agenda in intensifying the demand for groundbreaking technological advancements that will form sustainable mobile communications, both technologically and societally. This article presents an in-depth analysis of sustainable use cases of Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G wireless communication systems, highlighting the critical need for environmentally friendly and energy-efficient networks. It begins by establishing the broader context and significance of the study, emphasizing the mobile technology development and the trifold dimension of sustainability. Finally, the paper elucidates insights into pillars and use cases gleaned from the EU-funded research project NANCY [1], providing an overview of how they could contribute to a more sustainable future.
