Although China has surpassed the 5G technology, the reality doesn't allow us to stop celebrating, and the global research and development of the 6G communication technology has already begun to catch up with us.
December 13, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Wuhan University professor Li Deren said at a forum, 5G Chinese people in front, but the sky 6G communication Americans are still in front of us, we can not be paralyzed.
According to academician Li's description, 5G is used only in 6% of the earth's surface, so we have to catch 6G, land, sea and air through the satellite Internet, through the satellite mobile network, through the ground 5G to integrate it, to realize the sky, land and sea ubiquitous mobile communications, global ubiquitous high-speed communications.
It can be seen that the Americans have recognized the reality that since they are completely behind in the 5G era, they will be able to achieve a reversal in 6G technology.
6G, that is, the sixth generation of mobile communication standards, a conceptual wireless network mobile communication technology, also known as the sixth generation of mobile communication technology. The main boost is the development of the Internet.
Market commentary suggests that 6G networks will be a fully connected world where terrestrial wireless is integrated with satellite communications. By integrating satellite communications into 6G mobile communications, seamless global coverage will be achieved, and network signals will be able to reach any remote village, allowing patients deep in the mountains to receive telemedicine, and children to receive tele-education.
In addition, with the linkage support of GPS, telecommunication satellite systems, earth image satellite systems, and 6G ground networks, the ground and air full coverage network can also help human beings to predict the weather, quickly respond to natural disasters, and so on. This is the 6G future. 6G communication technology is no longer simply a breakthrough in network capacity and transmission rate, it is more in order to narrow the digital divide, to realize the "ultimate goal" of the Internet of everything, this is the significance of 6G.
6G data transfer rate may reach 50 times that of 5G, the delay is shortened to one-tenth of 5G, and is far superior to 5G in terms of peak rate, latency, traffic density, connection density, mobility, spectral efficiency, and localization.
It is also understood that the biggest difference between the 5G and 6G networks is that 5G uses the meter-wave frequency, and 6G uses the terahertz frequency, and 6G networks use the terahertz frequency. Terahertz frequency, and 6G network "densification" will also reach an unprecedented level, from communication 1G (0.9GHz) to 4G (1.8GHZ or more), we are using the frequency of wireless electromagnetic waves is rising. And by 6G the terahertz band will reach 100GHz-10THz, a much higher frequency than 5G.
For the research of 6G, China's process does not lose the world.In March 2018, the Minister of Industry and Information Technology Miao Wei said that China has begun to study 6G.Since then, China has launched the research of 6G-related technology from top to bottom.
Last year, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), together with the Development and Reform Commission (DRC), the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), organized a kick-off meeting for the research and development of 6G technology in Beijing. The meeting announced the establishment of the National 6G Technology R&D Promotion Working Group and the National 6G Technology R&D Overall Expert Group. China Unicom and China Telecom have also launched 6G-related technology research.
In November 2020, Beipiao's 6G project was awarded the 2020 National Key R&D Program "Broadband Communications and New Networks" key special funding.
China's first 6G communications test satellite was successfully launched from the Taiyuan Launch Base in Shanxi Province, according to a recent report by Global News. The successful launch of this test satellite means that China has officially embarked on the 6G network track.
Although the 6G research boom has been up, but really want to achieve scale there is still a long way to go, Huawei Yu Chengdong said, 6G in the research and development, it is estimated that it will take 10 years, and is also doing technical research, standards research, but not yet to the commercial stage. The Chinese Institute of Electronics Communications Branch Director, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Internet of Things, said Zhu Hongbo, 6G specific application direction is still in the exploratory stage.
According to media reports, the United States has long seen the value of 6G, the United States of Qualcomm, Microsoft, South Korea's Samsung, and Finland's Nokia as early as October 19, formed a commitment to joint research and development of 6G network technology alliance. At the same time, U.S. companies are also actively investing in Ericsson, which shows that the competition around 6G has long been playing.
Among them, in 2018, Finland began to study 6G-related technologies. 2019 March 15, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) unanimously voted to open the "terahertz wave" spectrum decision, in the hope that it will one day be used for 6G services. March 24-26, Finland, Lapland held an international conference on 6G. An international conference on 6G was held in Lapland, Finland, from 24 to 26 March. Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are both setting up 6G research centers in 2019, and on July 14, 2020 Samsung Electronics released a white paper on "The Next Generation of Hyperconnected Experiences".
On April 8, 2020, Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) released its strategic goal of establishing major 6G technologies in the country by 2025, with the hope of making 6G practical by 2030. Japan's additional budget, but also allocated to promote 6G research and development, trying to step up efforts to promote 6G research and development, in the next track to seize the market first.
Neil McRae, Chief Network Architect at British Telecommunications plc (BT), previously spoke at an industry forum about 6G (6th generation mobile) and 7G (7th generation mobile) systems. He believes:
Yang Tao, vice president of Huawei China's carrier business department, also revealed recently that Huawei has been involved in 6G-related pre-research work, has been pre-research 6G with millimeter-wave bands, is in the scene of mining and technology to find the stage.
Huawei expects that in 2030, there will be some 6G use cases, Huawei is also actively involved in this area.
As for the A-share 6G concept stocks, there are quite a few. For example, ZTE Corporation : ZTE Corporation has a layout in the field of 6G, and its pre-research team has begun to closely study the key technologies of 6G prototypes. Oscorp: In order to meet the needs of customers in the wireless communication field, the company is also actively developing PCB products for 5G and 6G wireless communication base stations.
Yuanfang Information, one of the leading LED and lighting photoelectric inspection equipment manufacturers, has revealed that it has 6G-related terahertz spectrometer technology.
Xinwei Telecom has said on the interactive platform that it will continue to follow the development of communications technology and continue to participate in the construction of communications networks for 6G and subsequent new technologies.
In addition, Huaxun Ark terahertz technology industry project settled in Xiongan in 2018.
Yihua shares have announced for Huawei and other customers to provide 6G network needs of 300/400G connectors.
Daheng Technology has been deep in the field of terahertz for many years, and the products of "Femtosecond laser-based terahertz time-domain spectrometer" undertaken by the Ministry of Science and Technology for major instrumentation specialization have been sold.
China Satellite Telecommunications Corporation (STC) will further implement the strategic deployment of the country's new infrastructure, develop the high-throughput satellite Internet industry ecosystem, and promote the synergistic development of satellite communications with 5G and 6G.
Hengtong Optoelectronics and Anhui Transsilicon*** cooperated to set up KEDA Hengxin, which is engaged in the design, research and development, manufacturing and sales of 5G/6G communication chips, millimeter-wave and optoelectronic chips, radio-frequency filters, high-speed optoelectronic devices, sensors and semiconductor materials.
Shenglu Communication's 5G millimeter wave antenna is used in 5G bearer network and backhaul network, and it actively lays out 6G technology.
Yihua shares as a communication connector as the core of the enterprise, Yihua shares have been in advance with the supply, and said that is currently working with Huawei and other customers to provide 6G network needs of 300/400G connectors.
It can be said that the market is a variety of related conceptual stocks, but in view of the 6G research is still in the early stages, ITU, 3GPP and other international organizations have not determined the detailed 6G development schedule, the future of these concepts of speculation or intermittent, but the continuity is doubtful.
It is hoped that in the future, all parties will strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust, and promote the establishment of a unified, open, and equal 6G alliance, **** with the promotion of 6G technology research and standardization landing.
