I don’t know if you have found out. In the first year of 5G commercial use in 2019, there are still many doubts about “Why use 5G” and “What else is 5G faster?” By 2021, everyone’s thinking about 5G is more: “Why? No?”
The value of 5G has been in the process of digitalization in thousands of industries, has been recognized by both the consumer market and the enterprise market, and has entered the fast lane of large-scale popularization.
There is no end to the upgrade and iteration of the network. It is time to take steps to the next mountain and think about how to enhance the vitality of 5G networks in the next 10 or 20 years, and develop high-quality, high-efficiency, and sustainable development.
As we all know, China has built the world’s largest 5G network, which has truly led the innovation and industrial application of 5G technology. Chinese operators, suppliers, and developers in various industries have naturally become the “outpost” of the times, and they are the first to start a new task of exploring the evolution of 5G.
On December 22, China Mobile and Huawei jointly held the “5G-Advanced Dual-chain Converged Wireless Innovation Achievement Conference”, and together with industry partners, jointly released the 5G-Advanced dual-chain converged wireless innovation results.
The reason why this conference is special is that, on the one hand, China Mobile, as the main force in building a network power, a digital China, and a smart society, is a pioneer in technological innovation. Its exploration has a benchmark and reference significance; at the same time, 5G-Advanced has been Attracting the participation of a lot of industry partners, accelerating the rapid birth and landing of phased results, this has become a new paradigm for 5G evolution.
This is an opportunity. At the end of the year and the New Year holidays, let us accompany the blossoming of 5G-Advanced in spring to see how the wireless network will approach us in the next spring.
Farming: Soil in the Age of Digital Intelligence
From a global perspective, the development of the 5G industry is extremely rapid. At present, more than 180 commercial networks have been built, and the number of 5G users has exceeded 540 million. 5G supports mobile applications, industrial Internet, smart cities, etc. In fact, construction has become the network base for digital intelligence. Some reports predict that in 2030, mobile network traffic will become the main carrier of Internet traffic.
As 5G is becoming more and more important, the scale and complexity of the services it carries and the technical challenges it faces will increase. It needs to continue to evolve from three aspects.
1. Continuous breakthroughs in capabilities. Application innovation based on 5G technology is booming. Metaverse, VR/AR and other high-traffic services continue to grow. There are more and more applications of network services, and services are becoming more and more complex. In the future, network pressure will increase several times or even dozens of times. , Which requires greater bandwidth, lower latency, stronger connections, and more efficient operation and maintenance.
2. Support the transformation of digital intelligence. Part of the commercial value and industrial value of 5G comes from the support for digital applications in the industry. Take China Mobile as an example. At present, a large number of 5G application practices have been carried out with Huawei in the fields of mining, ports, manufacturing, high-speed rail, and medical treatment. As the industry’s digital scene continues to deepen and expand, higher requirements have been put forward on 5G networks, such as large uplink capabilities, precise positioning, green and low-carbon, and so on.
3. Standards need to go first. The construction of each generation of wireless networks requires standards first. In terms of wireless resource utilization and technological evolution, innovation based on standards can enable rapid technological innovation and implementation of applications and terminals. At the 5G stage, almost all new requirements, new problems, and new challenges have never appeared in the history of wireless networks, such as the visual perception of smart transportation, digital twins, carbon compliance and carbon neutrality, etc., so the standard for 5G evolution, It is inseparable from breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology, in-depth industry insights, and the joint participation of industry partners.
5G needs to continue to evolve and inject more capabilities. Faced with this situation, China Mobile chose to actively cultivate the blank technology field.
As early as 2020, China Mobile and Huawei took the lead in proposing an industrial vision for 5G evolution in the industry, and coordinated with all parties in the industry to reach a consensus that 5G needs to evolve towards the next stage. In April 2021, 3GPP officially named 5G evolution as 5G-Advanced, marking a new stage of 5G evolution.
China Mobile Group Chief Expert Xu Xiaodong shared that 5G-Advanced innovation is a continuous process. In August 2021, China Mobile and 16 companies in the industry jointly launched the 5G-Advanced Innovation Chain Industry Chain Convergence Action Plan. Guided by issues such as the gap between standard technology and industry needs, “pain points of existing standard technology in actual deployment,” and “demand and expectation for wireless communications in the next ten years”, we actively explore new technologies and new solutions and promote them in 3GPP Landing.
After four months of collision, 5G-Advanced has produced many iconic technologies and applications.
Among them, duplex evolution, terminal aggregation, XR multimedia service enhancement and other projects help the construction of excellent networks; the application of AI in the physical layer, network autopilot, lower cost and simplified IoT and other projects, make the network “intelligent, intelligent and simple” “become possible. Based on the social responsibility of green double carbon, 5G-Advanced is also exploring projects such as network energy saving, lower power consumption applications, flexible communities or flexible applications of multiple spectrums. At present, a number of 5G-Advanced landmark technologies such as synesthesia, full-duplex, and passive IoT have been developed and tested and verified for original systems.
It can be found that, as the promoters of the 5G-Advanced standard, China Mobile and Huawei are also the number one “gardeners” in this 5G evolution test field, working hard to cultivate the fertile ground for 5G development.
Breeding: when industrial innovation is in progress
Since it is the “final exam”, you might as well speak directly with the results to see what changes 5G-Advanced has brought to the industry? What commercial value can 5G evolution bring?
At the “5G-Advanced Dual-chain Converged Wireless Innovation Achievement Conference” on December 22, innovators from all walks of life can be seen to build digital solutions that meet their own needs.
Dahua, a smart IoT solution provider with video as its core, found that 5G can meet the urgent needs of intelligent video recognition, convenient deployment of hardware cameras, and on-demand customization of applications in the process of serving government, enterprise, and civilian digital services. Among them, many technological breakthroughs are required. Dahua uses an original peak scheduling system to schedule all cameras under the entire cellular base station, so that the cameras do not form peak concurrency, which greatly reduces the bandwidth requirements of the entire network deployment and reduces application costs. At present, Dahua’s solutions have been applied in the construction of Leishen Mountain, Vulcan Mountain, urban sewage management, air conditioning dispatching and other fields to help control energy consumption and facilitate digital upgrades.
The field of drones is generally faced with low positioning accuracy and easy interference with aircraft. Therefore, the Civil Aviation Administration of China strongly supports the application of 5G technology in the aviation field, and promotes the technical application of 5G synesthesia. The perception and control of bandwidth will further promote the development of the UAV industry. At present, the integration of communication and perception has also been included in the 3GPP standards and has become one of the directions of 5G evolution. The Civil Aviation Administration of China and China Mobile have joined hands to innovate to accelerate the arrival of smart aviation based on 5G synesthesia.
The popularity of smart homes is of great significance to every family. In 2019, Haier and China Mobile and Huawei set up the Haier Internet of Things 5G Joint Innovation Laboratory. The PassiveIoT technology jointly created can support longer-distance power consumption sensing and is deployed flexibly based on the cellular main network infrastructure. It can meet the upgrade needs of smart home appliances, as well as the application needs of typical scenarios such as manufacturing and animal husbandry.
The current popular meta-universe concept, using VR/AR as the entrance to the virtual world, is also inseparable from the continuous evolution of 5G networks. E-Xian Advanced Technology has jointly innovated with China Mobile, etc., and developed the industry’s first augmented reality interactive projector, which realizes the real-time integration of virtual information and real three-dimensional scenes through projection. It has been used in kindergartens, early education institutions, playgrounds, and technology. Places such as museums and museums allow children and users to enjoy an immersive experience.
The active participation of industry partners is the birth of an unprecedented standard. The process of finding the integration point of business and 5G technology in all walks of life has triggered more and more innovative singularities, constantly breaking people’s imagination of 5G.
Huakai: Proven industrial value
It can be found that the special feature of 5G-Advanced, in addition to the technological leadership itself, lies in the exploration of a new paradigm of industrial innovation through “dual-chain integration”. The world’s major operators, equipment vendors, industry organizations, and upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain are jointly exploring the path of 5G evolution along the three major directions of excellent network, intelligent life, intelligent simplicity, and low-carbon efficiency.
Based on the above results, today, we can roughly summarize the value of 5G-Advanced dual-chain integration, a new paradigm of 5G evolution.
1. joint. The 5G-Advanced dual-chain integration is a test field for China Mobile and Huawei’s joint industry partners to establish technology. From the very beginning, the industry chain can participate in technological innovation. From the real industry scene problems, the requirements for the direction of network and technological innovation are put forward, and the new needs and changes of 5G networks are more targeted to shorten the innovation cycle and uncertainty.
For this kind of change, Xu Xiaodong, chief expert of China Mobile, believes that 5G is very beautiful, and it is necessary to solve the problem well. We are faced with various problems raised by industry customers, and we need more industry customers to improve it with us. Therefore, more industry customers have participated in the technological iteration and evolution, and participated in the 5G-Advanced evolution.
2. reality. At present, the results of the 5G-Advanced dual-chain integration are all China Mobile and Huawei’s technologies, which are tested in the real environment of the field. It is guaranteed from the source that technological innovation is not a paper article, and it can effectively play a role in the future to help the industry and Improve the quality and efficiency of society. China Mobile has worked with Huawei and industry partners to explore the key scenarios, technologies and directions of 5G evolution, laying the foundation for the true implementation of the technology.
3. Lead. For the global mobile communications industry, 5G is a brand-new no man’s land, and 5G-Advanced is exploring in an unprecedented field. This requires the formulation of standards to be more efficient and accurate, and adapt to the future to lead the development of the global industry.
In this regard, Xu Xiaodong also said that as an operator, we know where the pain points are, which are the problems, bottlenecks, and needs that arise in the 5G commercial use, which are conditionally resolved, and have the responsibility and obligation to solve them. Therefore, China Mobile is in 5G-Advanced. Great efforts have been made in the evolution work.
The innovative technology verification results released by China Mobile and Huawei this time verified the role of the 5GAdvanced dual-chain integration plan and the feasibility of the 5G evolution innovation direction. In this fertile soil, new technologies will continue to thrive.
Fertilization: endless technological breakthroughs
Of course, technological innovation is a process that constantly solves business problems and has no end. If you want 5G-Advanced to flourish and thrive, you also need to continuously fertilize and inject the momentum of technological innovation. This also puts forward new requirements on China Mobile and Huawei.
The press conference also gave the main direction of the next 5G evolution.
1. Continuously build excellent networks. Create higher network performance, greater coverage capabilities, and deterministic delay guarantees to better support digital services.
2. Continue to promote intelligent life and intelligent simplicity. Introduce AI capabilities to build 5G smart networks, ensure that 5G networks “automatically drive” in a complex operating environment, reduce the difficulty of operation and maintenance, and meet industry needs at low cost and efficiently.
3. Resolutely implement green and low-carbon. Through the development of green equipment, new sites, energy consumption evaluation system, etc., 5G energy consumption will be reduced in an all-round way throughout the entire link and full cycle, helping to achieve the national dual-carbon goal.
In this process, China Mobile continues to lead technological innovation, injecting new impetus into the 5G industry and bringing new possibilities. Use firm steps to lead the unfamiliar long road of 5G evolution.
This is also another value of 5G-Advanced, using companionship as a confession, expressing affection with innovation, planting seeds in the years, and planting the next vibrant spring for the world.
