Global 6G research focuses on intelligence, collaborative innovation helps the industry upgrade digitally

This is actually just one of the vision goals for the future development of 6G. At present, the most important task of the iterative update of mobile Internet technology is to enable the digital development of the industry.

6G network enables IoT to become intelligent

The 2021 Global 6G Technology Conference will be held in Nanjing. The conference will adopt the method of on-site discussion + remote interaction in multiple locations around the world, gathering 6G technology research forces from various countries around the world to conduct in-depth discussions on topics such as 6G application scenarios and needs, 6G network architecture, 6G wireless transmission technology, and space-ground integration technology and on-demand services. The Global 6G Technology Conference has become the first international conference in the 6G field with the widest coverage and the most comprehensive content.

It is generally believed in the industry that, based on 5G, 6G will further expand from serving people and people and things to supporting the efficient interconnection of intelligent bodies, and will become a link between the real physical world and the virtual digital world. In addition, the "space network", that is, satellite communication technology, will enter civilian use and become an important part of the 6G network. In short, in addition to continuously improving the quality of life of the people, the future 6G will also promote the transformation and upgrading of the social production mode; we will also truly move from the Internet of Things society to the Intelligent Society.

Countries around the world have started 6G research

Although it will take some time for 5G networks to become popular from a global perspective, major countries and regions in the world have already started 6G research. These countries and regions have accelerated the development of 6G innovative technologies by increasing funding and deploying scientific research projects.

The European Union proposed a relatively clear planning roadmap and completed the 6G industry-university-research framework project in the third quarter of 2020; Finland released a 6G white paper "Drivers and Major Research Challenges for 6G Ubiquitous Wireless Intelligence", which systematically looked forward to the 6G vision and technical applications; the South Korean government proposed the goal of "leading the commercialization of 6G" and plans to achieve the world's first commercial 6G in 2028; Japan released the B5G promotion strategy to complete 6G basic technology research in 2025 and commercialize it in 2030; the United States also started 6G research in 2018. Preliminary research included research on 6G chips, and conducted research and practice in integrated air, space, sea and ground communications, especially satellite Internet communications.

my country also attaches great importance to the development of 6G. In the "14th Five-Year Plan", it is clearly stated that we must "plan ahead for the 6G network technology reserves". We have successively established the National 6G Technology R&D Promotion Working Group and the General Expert Group, and the IMT2030 (6G) Promotion Group to promote 6G work and make positive progress. In addition, according to the 48th "Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet" released by the China Internet Network Information Center, my country has become the main source of 6G patent applications. At present, the number of global patent applications in the field of 6G communication technology exceeds 38,000, of which my country's patent applications account for 35%, ranking first in the world.

6G empowers the transformation and upgrading of smart society

Professor Peng Mugen said, "After the commercial use of 6G, it will bring more intelligent applications, and the market size will far exceed that of 5G, helping to implement my country's new infrastructure, digital industrialization, and industrial digitization strategies."

Professor Qiao Jianyong, Vice President of the China Institute of Communications and President of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, believes that 6G, as the inevitable evolution direction of 5G, must establish an intelligent and efficient communication network for humans, machines and objects, and realize integrated multi-dimensional data collaborative processing to improve perception accuracy and perception distance. These are the global commanding heights of future information and communication theory and technology. Although large-scale commercialization of 6G is planned to be realized around 2030 internationally, given my country's emphasis on 6G and its scientific and technological innovation capabilities, 6G large-scale trials and typical application demonstrations may be carried out as early as the end of 2024.

In general, the 6G industry can bring users a more immersive experience and meet the communication needs of human beings at the level of multiple senses, emotions and consciousness. On the other hand, it can be widely used in entertainment, medical health, industrial production and other fields. This means that 6G will inherit the mantle of 5G, and help further the digital transformation and upgrading of various industries in my country from a deep level to meet the various application needs of the future smart society.
