5G vision has not yet been fully realized, 6G is coming? Although the industry's judgment of 6G commercial timing is mostly focused on 2030, but the public still have doubts, 5G technology vision has not yet been fully realized, 6G is necessary to meet with us in a hurry? The reporter Liu Yan of Science and Technology Daily On March 23, the Future Mobile Forum released 13 white papers at the 2nd Global 6G Technology Conference, defining 6G-related technology concepts, indicators and capability extensions with unprecedented intensity in the industry. The next-generation mobile communication technology represented by 6G is a focus of attention and research hotspot for all parties. Traditional communication technology powerhouses, leading global operators and technology companies, and relevant research institutions have all joined the ranks of 6G research and development. China attaches great importance to the development of 6G, and the outline of the 14th Five-Year Plan clearly puts forward the "forward-looking layout of 6G network technology reserves". At the end of 2019, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) took the lead in setting up the 6G Technology R&D Promotion Working Group and the General Expert Group, marking the official launch of China's 6G technology R&D work. In his speech at the opening ceremony of the 2nd Global 6G Technology Conference, Mr. Xiang Libin, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, said that with the commercialization of 5G networks on a large scale, the global strategic layout for 6G research and development has been in full swing. There is a consensus in the industry that the next 3-5 years will be the window period for potential 6G key technologies. "Innovation is the cornerstone of 6G research. We need to have the determination not to be influenced by the outside world." Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chairman of the Future Mobile Communications Forum, pointed out that 6G has become the high ground for national strategic competition, and it is only natural for China to attach importance to 6G research, but it is also important to realize that competition should not be used as a reason for not conducting in-depth research on the needs of 6G and not being determined to do long-term research on subversive and original technologies. Rushing to make progress with foreign countries and detaching from market needs will lead to strategic passivity. It takes a process to move from academic research to industrial vision for 6G technology, and 2022 is a critical year in this process," said Xiang Libin. Today's discussions on new concepts, technologies and ideas for 6G are related to the face of tomorrow's mobile communications, which in turn will change the face of human society. As Han Liming, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and secretary of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, said, 5G is still on the rise and 6G is on the rise again. There is an urgent need for us to address challenges and solve problems together, to collide with wisdom and open up ideas, and to work together to build a solid foundation for technological and industrial change. Xiang Libin stressed that China welcomes and actively supports international cooperation in the field of 6G, suggesting that countries give full play to their respective strengths, expand cooperation around the key points of 6G research, build a bridge for collaborative innovation, and jointly promote the establishment of a global 6G ecology, so as to lay a good foundation for the future integration and development of related industries for mutual benefit and win-win situation. Mr. Liu Yulin, First Inspector of the Department of Information and Communication Development of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that the current 6G development is in a critical period of vision and demand formation, which requires the joint efforts of all parties and the formation of synergy. The first is to focus on the research of the vision needs to form a broader consensus; the second is to accelerate key technology innovation, laying the technical foundation for 6G development; the third is to deepen international exchanges and cooperation to maintain a unified global 6G standard; the fourth is to coordinate the development of 5G and 6G to fully unleash the potential of 5G development. Professor of Southeast University, deputy director of Zijinshan Laboratory, chief scientist Xiaohu You introduced, 6G era, the key indicators of the three major application scenarios of 5G capabilities will be quantitatively improved, while new application scenarios such as the integration of communication, computing, control and perception, the integration of heaven and earth, the federal AI. Although the industry's judgment on the commercial timing of 6G is mostly focused on 2030, but the public still has doubts, 5G technology vision has not yet been fully realized, 6G is necessary to meet us in a hurry? Wu Hequan said: "The success of 5G network and applications is the premise of 6G research, the need to tap the market from the application of 5G, some 6G technology can also be tested in advance with 5G. The 2nd Global 6G Technology Conference, organized by Future Mobile Forum and Zijinshan Laboratory, was like an open and powerful magnet for 6G innovation worldwide. Nearly 100 experts discussed 6G millimeter wave and terahertz technologies, 6G vision and technology requirements, 6G spectrum sharing and coexistence technologies, 6G network architecture and key technologies, 6G wireless coverage expansion technologies, 6G wireless air port transmission technologies, 6G wireless network security architecture key technologies, heaven and earth convergence intelligent networking technologies, 6G full-scene on-demand service key technologies, etc. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
