5G-A is just in time to help upgrade the five major connections

In the more than four years since its commercial use, the 5G industry has developed at an unprecedented speed. The large-scale implementation of 5G applications has become a new driving force for the digital economy to shift gears and accelerate. New 5G experiences, new connections, and new businesses are constantly emerging. For personal and family connections, 5G will open the door to an immersive world; in the field of Internet of Things, 5G is constantly expanding its boundaries and moving towards full-scenario connectivity; in the industry field, 5G is beginning to move towards core production links to achieve flexible production; 5G is also accelerating new businesses such as car networking, enabling highly reliable smart transportation.

5G-A is just in time. By providing ten times the network capacity and multi-dimensional new capabilities, it will accelerate the upgrade of the five major connections of people, homes, objects, industries, and cars. Huawei has released the world's first full range of 5G-A products and solutions, and through continuous innovation in the five basic capabilities of "broadband, multi-frequency, multi-antenna, intelligence, and green", it helps operators efficiently build 5G-A networks.

5G-A full range of products, delivering tenfold performance improvement

TDD more frequency bands, more channels ELAA , to achieve the ultimate ubiquitous experience. ELAA technology has been commercialized in 5G networks, greatly improving TDD coverage and energy efficiency. In the 5G-A era, ELAA technology will continue to upgrade: the industry's first 1 28T Meta AAU , with more than 500 oscillators, combined with multi-dimensional high-resolution beamforming algorithms, to improve experience by 50 % . The industry's first dual-band 6 4T Meta AAU and ELAA dual-frequency fusion array enable high and low frequency co-coverage, and cooperate with multi-carrier to achieve the ultimate experience of 5 ~ 10 Gbps.

The entire FDD series is moving towards GigaGreen, upgrading the basic service experience. The industry's first FDD tri-band M - MIMO and tri-band 8T, through GHz-level ultra-large bandwidth to achieve 1.8+2.1+2.6GHz tri-band in one, with FDD Beamforming technology greatly improves FDD spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency. Compared with 4T4R, FDD tri-band M-MIMO increases capacity by 10 times and coverage by 10dB. FDD tri-band 8T8R improves spectrum efficiency by 3 times and coverage by 7dB based on true broadband and dynamic power sharing technology, and saves 30% energy consumption.

The largest-scale millimeter wave antenna array AAU achieves 10G continuous coverage . The millimeter wave industry has matured. The industry's first 2000+ millimeter wave AAU breaks through the millimeter wave coverage bottleneck, making it possible for millimeter wave and C-Band to share the same site and coverage. Combined with high and low frequency coordination, millimeter wave can achieve a peak experience of over 10Gbps and an average experience of 5Gbps in large-scale networking. Intelligent beam management technology breaks through the millimeter wave mobility bottleneck and ensures a continuous experience in high-speed mobile and NLOS scenarios.

D IS performance and energy saving have leapt forward, bringing the ultimate capabilities of 5G-A indoors . The LampSite X series integrates five bands into one and introduces mmWave. One box supports all frequency bands, full bandwidth and all standards. X supports extreme deep sleep, with power consumption less than 1W when idle. In coverage scenarios such as underground parking lots, the industry's only multi-frequency integrated medium-power LightSite supports flexible deployment in multiple scenarios, and compared with traditional DAS solutions, the experience is improved by 35% while TCO is lower.

Antenna microwave continues to innovate, helping to build 5G-A networks efficiently. The new green antenna reconstructs the antenna architecture through SDIF technology, and combines Meta Lens technology to aggregate beam energy, bringing a 25% ultimate energy efficiency improvement. Microwave MAGICSwave enables bearer network upgrades, and improves backhaul efficiency in scenarios such as large capacity in urban areas and long distances in suburban areas through ultra-wideband multi-channel technology. The ultra-high integration unified platform supports evolution in the next decade.

5G-A efficient and intelligent network enables optimal network efficiency

iHashBand 2.0 spectrum pooling, 5G-A spectrum efficiency is optimal. iHashBand2.0 reconstructs multi-frequency usage: MBSC ( Multi -band Serving Cell ) reconstructs non-continuous spectrum into virtual large bandwidth, spectrum utilization rate is increased by 40 % , and flexible combination achieves 10 Gbps . FSA ( Flexible Spectrum Access ) enables flexible access to all uplink frequency bands, uplink spectrum utilization rate is increased by 40 % , and uplink moves towards Gbps.

0 Bit 0 Watt is applied to all scenarios, and 5G-A has the best energy efficiency. At the device level, Huawei's full range of devices supports "0 Bit 0 Watt", achieving the industry's only 99 % deep extreme sleep & on-demand wake-up, as well as the industry's only millisecond-level carrier and channel shutdown; at the site level, energy and equipment intelligent collaboration to achieve the entire site "0 At the network level, i PowerStar enables network-level “0 Bit 0 Watt” for each site and each time .

IntelligentRAN moves towards L4, and 5G-A O&M is optimal. More frequency bands, more services, and more connections require 5G-A to move towards high-level self-intelligence. IntelligentRAN will provide L4 - level intent-based network intelligence: support preventive prediction, realize the transition from responsive O&M to proactive O&M; understand business intent, realize business deterministic experience guarantee; support multi-objective decision-making, and simultaneously deliver the best business experience and network energy efficiency.

"The future is here. Huawei will work together with industry partners to advance together, focus on innovation, and bring 5G-A into reality!" Cao Ming said in conclusion.
