In fact, as far as 5G is concerned, there is neither Qualcomm's 5G nor Huawei's 5G.
Now talking about 5G, especially 5GNR of 3GPP. 5G is the fifth generation mobile communication system. Now, on a global scale, mainly two associations are formulating the 5G standard. One is 3GPP and the other is IEEE. However, as far as mobile communication is concerned, IEEE is not an opponent of 3GPP at all. The global mobile communication network is basically based on the 3GPP framework. Mobile communication is also the last reserved land of traditional communication industry, and there is still a long way to go for this computer industry to invade.
The 5G networks deployed around the world are basically based on the 5GNR standard under the 3GPP framework. The United States still has some networks based on 5GTF in North America, but they are being transformed into networks supporting 3GP5GNR.
3GPP is a global patent organization and one of the largest patent organizations in the world.
Under the 3GPP framework, all enterprises want to cram more standards into 3GPP's 5GNR standard, but in this case, Huawei has more patents than Qualcomm. Among the essential patents of 5GNR standard counted by the end of 2065438+2008, Huawei's patent ratio far exceeds that of Qualcomm, ranking first.
There is still a big gap between Qualcomm and Huawei in the essential patents of the 5GNR standard, and there is basically no hope of a comeback.
For Qualcomm, the biggest problem is that the Qualcomm tax in the 3G era has overwhelmed the whole communication industry, which makes it difficult for Qualcomm to occupy a relatively high share in mobile communication systems other than 3G.
In fact, compared with the 4G era, Qualcomm is still good at 5GNR. To know that the core of LTE is "de-upgrading", Qualcomm is basically marginalized in 4G.
Compared with Huawei, Qualcomm is actually more worried about the international deployment of 5G, because its 3G standard has begun to expire.
At present, Qualcomm lags behind Huawei in baseband field. Qualcomm has two 5G baseband models, the first generation X50 and the second generation X55.
Huawei actually has two baseband models, namely the first generation Ba Long 5G0 1 and the second generation Ba Long 5000.
This is Ba Long's 5G0 1, using Huawei's 5G0 1. Now 5G0 1 has been equipped with Ba Long 5000 in 5CPE Pro.
At present, the X50 generation in Qualcomm only supports NSA and 5G, and is not compatible with 2/3/4G. This is destined to be a transitional product. The future battle of 5G baseband will be between Qualcomm X55 and Huawei Ba Long 5000 (or the next generation baseband).
5G Networking Huawei is a communication manufacturing enterprise that can provide end-to-end 5G solutions. 5G networking is divided into 5G access network (5G base station) and 5G bearer network (optical transmission, router, microwave, etc. ), 5G core network, 5G terminal and so on. Huawei is the only communication enterprise that can provide end-to-end solutions.
The services that Qualcomm can provide are mainly terminal-based.
In a word, both Huawei and Qualcomm's 5G are 5GNR based on the 3GPP framework. As far as 5GNR is concerned, Huawei has an advantage as a whole.
I, not majoring in communication technology, just express my opinion.
There is no denying that Qualcomm has accumulated a lot of communication technology. However, Huawei has also been deeply involved in the field of communication. Both sides have excellent top communication technology experts, chip experts and strong financial resources. At present, these aspects are not equal.
5G, the name of new technology, is to be developed and applied, also known as the fifth generation mobile communication technology. If we compare the pioneers of communication technology, I think Motorola is the pioneer, followed by Nokia, then Sony, Huawei, ZTE and so on. In the past two years, the communication war has been reduced to the field of chips and technology. ZTE's 5G has been announced and started testing, and Huawei's 5G has basically landed. What is Qualcomm doing? I don't know. The appearance is indeed that Huawei is more advanced.
With its good brand and reputation, Huawei is more famous in people's eyes, and people (China people) will know more or less about it and its 5G. Qualcomm, which has been using chip release technology, is often ignored by us. Most people don't know the Qualcomm communication baseband and chip technology that Apple used. It's like, everyone praises the public, but they don't necessarily know MK4 in those days, and they have dismantled many Audi log accessories. You can't just look outside and see which technology is better. How do you think?
First of all, look at the parameters, performance and cost of application-level chips;
Second, look at the changes brought by technology (for example, Ann Bunny is a tool to verify the performance of the whole machine);
Third, look at the compatibility of 5G.
The first two points are relatively easy. The third point may be the most difficult for Huawei to overcome. As far as I know, many of Huawei's communication base stations have cooperated with Qualcomm, Sony and even ZTE. Then 5G wants to get rid of these people, and it is unlikely that one family will dominate, so it is necessary to consider compatibility, and compatibility equals sharing.
To sum up, Huawei and Qualcomm's 5G communication technology can't see which is higher or lower. Ordinary people can only see who is more famous, so-called experts can only see various parameters, and professional technical research can only see whose logic is more concise and excellent, and who is better can only be handed over to consumers. One side is eliminated by consumers, which means that its technology has obviously lagged behind the other side.
This problem should be comprehensively analyzed. Judging from the core patents of 5G, Qualcomm has advantages. The core patent of long code (data transmission) belongs to Qualcomm scheme, and the core patent of short code (channel control) belongs to Huawei. This is also an area where the two companies are good at. Qualcomm has strong chip and baseband technology, ranking first in the field of mobile chips in the world. Huawei has been working hard in the field of communication equipment for a long time and is the world's boss. Fortunately, in the 5G era, no company can command long and short codes, especially Huawei has also won short code authorization.
In addition, in addition to core patents, Huawei has an early layout in the field of 5G, with huge investment, the largest reserve in base stations, equipment, application software and solutions, and its patented technology is far ahead of other companies.
Finally, Huawei also has strong chip development capabilities, and Kirin chips are not lost to Xiaolong!
In a word, in terms of comprehensive strength, Huawei is far superior to Qualcomm in 5G application capability. This is also the fundamental reason why the Five Eyes Alliance blocked Huawei.
Who is better in their respective 5G technologies, Qualcomm or Huawei? Having said that, we should actually talk about the issue of 5G voting, because Huawei and Qualcomm have tried their best to compete for the dominant position in the formulation of standards for 5G networks. As far as industry standards are concerned, everyone wants to fight. After all, if the standard is set by ourselves, then our technology is naturally the most advantageous, but it is still a pity that we lost to Qualcomm by one vote.
However, in the battle for 5G, Qualcomm accepted the formulation of long code and short code, and Huawei won the standard of control code by its own strength. Although it seems that Huawei is losing money, on the whole, Huawei has a relative advantage because of its communication business.
The difference between the two is that Huawei has not only mobile phone business, but also self-developed processor and communication business. More importantly, Huawei is also an export-oriented enterprise with patented technology. In this case, Huawei naturally has the right to grant patents. It is reported that up to now, Huawei has 74,307 independent patents, and the number of applications is increasing at a rate of 1300 every year. This alone is enough to "crush" many large technology companies. Even well-known brands such as Apple and Samsung pay hundreds of millions of dollars in patent licensing fees to Huawei every year, which really makes our own brands proud!
Of course, in the previous era of 2G, 3G and 4G networks, Qualcomm of the United States mastered a large number of necessary patents of industry standards, occupying an absolute dominant position in the industry. However, in the 5G era, China technology came from behind, which is inseparable from Huawei's efforts. Ren Zhengfei, president of Huawei, once said: "Qualcomm's patent fee is as high as 5%, which is equivalent to letting all mobile phone manufacturers work for it!" According to the shipment of China's own brand mobile phones last year, Qualcomm collected about 26-30 billion patent fees from China manufacturers! Therefore, in order not to be controlled by others, Huawei's investment in technology research and development can be described as "regardless of cost", with a huge capital investment of nearly 90 billion yuan per year; In addition, Huawei has invested more in technology research and development in the field of 5G than Qualcomm. In any industry, whoever sets standards will have the opportunity to master the right to speak and stand at the top of the global industrial chain. In the end, Huawei's efforts paid off, and its 6 1 5G standard patents accounted for 22.93% of the world, ranking first in the world! Really let China's patented technology master the right to speak in the world.
Summary Although it is mentioned in the above description that Qualcomm has many patents in the 2G/3G/4G era, Huawei also has many patents in 5G, so there is not much difference between them. In addition, the cross patent between Huawei and Qualcomm is now the Internet of Everything. At present, Huawei has 23 orders for 5G, which is a boom.
In fact, there is another enterprise in China, namely Shinco Group, which was established in Wuhan in July this year. Up to now, it has 38,000 employees, and the estimated annual income can reach 60 billion. Most importantly, Shinco Group is a state-owned enterprise, and there will be no shortage of funds and talents. The registered capital is 30 billion. It can be said that it is backed by the state and Wuhan talents. No wonder it can achieve something once it is established in 5 G.
So generally speaking, although Huawei is currently the number one supplier of communication equipment in the world, although it has great advantages compared with other brands such as Nokia and Ericsson, compared with national enterprises such as Cisco, its advantages are actually not great, so the follow-up depends on the development of several companies.
Answer over
On this issue, I also specifically checked the information. Huawei and Qualcomm invested a little more in Qualcomm in the early period of 5G, and were slightly better than Huawei in peak processing of on-chip modems. However, Qualcomm is not a base station, so Huawei is much stronger in artificial intelligence. In addition, in the whole system of 5G, the chips that Huawei needs in all aspects are developed by itself and are ahead of the world. In terms of 5G patents, Qualcomm is temporarily ahead. According to Huawei's current speed, it is estimated that Huawei will surpass Qualcomm in two years. Huawei is a global leader in AI intelligence, full-chain chips, microwaves, base stations, program-controlled switches, terminal equipment (mobile phone) cloud, enterprise IOT and other fields.
Who has better 5G technology, Huawei or Qualcomm?
From the big picture, Huawei is slightly better! Otherwise, how could the United States have been trying to suppress Huawei? From the suppression of ZTE and Huawei by the United States, we can know that ZTE and Huawei have already posed a serious threat to the technological leadership of the United States!
Therefore, Huawei should be slightly better than Qualcomm in 5 G. Let's analyze it together:
As far as the proportion of patents is concerned, Huawei is far ahead of Qualcomm. According to ETSI data, Huawei is far ahead of Qualcomm in the number of necessary patents for 5G standards, even accounting for 17%, much higher than Qualcomm. Therefore, Huawei has an absolute advantage in the necessary patents of the 5G standard!
In terms of 5G baseband, Huawei's performance is stronger. Let's compare Qualcomm X55 and Huawei Ba Long 5000, both of which are 7nm chips. The listing time of Qualcomm X55 is about half a year later than that of Ba Long. Theoretically, the performance of Qualcomm X55 is better, but in fact, judging from the parameters published by both parties, there is almost no big difference in the running speed between Qualcomm and Huawei, but it can reach 7.5Gbps at the fastest in 5G NR+LTE mode, so Huawei is better! As for the 5G base station, there is no such service in Qualcomm, which is inferior to Huawei!
Strictly speaking, the difference between Qualcomm and Huawei is that Qualcomm and Huawei are not the same type of enterprises at all. Qualcomm mainly makes money through chips and patents, but for Huawei, chips are not its main business. Huawei is one of the largest suppliers of communication equipment in the world. At present, we mainly make money through communication equipment and mobile phones.
Conclusion From the overall market share, Huawei had a considerable gap with Qualcomm before, but with the thorough arrival of the 5G era, Huawei gained the upper hand with excellent technology!
In terms of science and technology, in the field of 5G, Huawei and Qualcomm, at present, Huawei is definitely better. This fact is clearer to the United States than what we have seen. In the field of 5G, the combined strength of Huawei, ZTE and Datang has completely surpassed that of the United States, among which Huawei has surpassed Qualcomm, so the United States can't wait to kill Huawei, that is, suppress China's 5G technology.
But overall, I think Huawei and Qualcomm are at the same level in the overall technology of 5 G. Let's briefly analyze the comparison between Huawei and Qualcomm from several aspects.
In the core technology of 5G, Huawei is superior to Qualcomm's 5G core technology, which can be reflected in the standard essential patents in the 5G field. The so-called standard essential patent is simply adopted by the global 5G standard and is a technology that 5G has to use. There is also a non-standard necessary patent, which can be simply understood as a technology that 5G can't use.
As can be clearly seen from the above figure, Huawei accounts for 15% of the essential patents related to 5G standards, and Qualcomm accounts for about 8%. So in the field of 5G, Huawei has surpassed Qualcomm, and even ZTE is much better than Qualcomm.
At present, 5G technology is defined by 3GPP standard organization, which is an international standard organization. At present, the United States and Europe are the three leading forces, of which China, the United States and Europe are the strongest. The so-called standard essential patent is a patent recognized as 5G specification by 3GPP.
Qualcomm committed suicide in the field of mobile communication, and Qualcomm used to be the leader of 2G and 3G mobile communication technologies, but Qualcomm was too greedy, and the global enterprises paying taxes in Qualcomm were miserable. Therefore, in the 4G era, all members of 3GPP jointly overthrew UMB technology led by Qualcomm, so Qualcomm was actually forced to transform, lost opportunities in the 4G era and fell behind in the 5G era.
Recently, in the 83rd plenary session of 3GPP held in Shenzhen, Georg Mayer, a Huawei candidate, defeated Eddy Hall of Qualcomm and was elected as the chairman of 3GPP sa plenary session in the competition for the chairmanship of the 3rd plenary session of the global authoritative communication standardization organization.
The chairman of the Communication Standards Organization is usually a technical expert from the absolutely leading equipment manufacturers and manufacturers in this field, so it also reflects that Huawei has accumulated more in the field of 5G than Qualcomm.
In the core technology field of 5G, Huawei is better than Qualcomm, but as a 5G evolved from 2G, 3G and 4G, Qualcomm still holds a large number of standard essential patents in 2G and 3G. Moreover, some technologies of 5G will be extended to 2G and 3G, so if we count the technologies of 2G and 3G, I think Huawei and Qualcomm are basically equal, and even Qualcomm may be ahead.
In the end-to-end 5G industry, Huawei has surpassed Qualcomm's 5G in another field. Huawei surpassed Qualcomm in the end-to-end industrial chain of 5G, including chips used in 5G terminals.
In the field of 5G chips, Huawei and Qualcomm are neck and neck. Many friends think that Huawei Ba Long 5000 has been commercialized, adopting 7nm technology and supporting SA mode networking. Has Huawei surpassed Qualcomm in chip capability? Actually, you can't say that.
You know, Qualcomm's X50 chip was commercialized in 20 17, almost two years earlier than Huawei's. That is to say, in two years, only Qualcomm's X50 can be used for global 5G verification and pilot, and the lead is not a bit.
We don't believe that Qualcomm has done nothing in these two years. It is expected that X55 will still lag behind Huawei's Ba Long 5000 after listing at the end of 2005. Qualcomm's annual R&D investment in chips is much higher than Huawei's. Who knows if Qualcomm is stopping any big moves?
Therefore, I think Qualcomm is two years ahead in 5G baseband. At present, Huawei is in the lead for the time being, but Qualcomm is definitely ready to expand its scale. You know, even MediaTek and Spreadtrum support SA mode 5G baseband, but Qualcomm hasn't acted yet. It is out of the question.
But Qualcomm is not as good as Huawei, which has a complete 5G industrial chain, while Qualcomm only has mobile phone chips, which is Huawei's advantage. Huawei has corresponding layouts in the entire industrial chain of 5G, such as terminals, wireless communication, data bearing and even cloud computing, which are not as good as Huawei in Qualcomm.
5G is different from 2G and 3G. 5G is no longer a terminal and wireless technology, involving To B services and end-to-end low latency and end-to-end fragmentation. 5G is an end-to-end system engineering, and Qualcomm is far behind Huawei.
Conclusion Huawei has surpassed Qualcomm in the accumulation of 5G, but the core technology of mobile communication in Qualcomm used to be very deep. At the same time, Qualcomm and Huawei have their own advantages in chips, but since 5G is an end-to-end system engineering, Huawei should have unique advantages here.
It is precisely because of Huawei's strength in the 5G network that it caused the suppression of the United States and even made three bad moves.
If you ask me, Huawei's 5G technology directly crushes Qualcomm, otherwise Americans wouldn't be in such a hurry. If you don't believe me, let's compare them one by one!
1. The debate about the standard is half-open: in fact, a conclusion has been reached at present. Everyone has made corresponding achievements in a certain field in the low formulation of the 5G standard. The data channel (long code and short code) uses LDPC coding led by Qualcomm, and the control channel uses polar coding advocated by Huawei. In fact, both Huawei and Qualcomm have patents on the coding method advocated by each other. Therefore, in the standard part, Qualcomm and Huawei are almost as bad! Although Qualcomm has obtained the data channel long-short code standard, many patents of LDPC coding will expire soon, while Huawei's Polar coding is a new technology with a large number of core patents.
2. Huawei's 5G baseband is half a year ahead: the 5G network for mobile phones needs 5G baseband, while Qualcomm and Huawei already have commercial 5G baseband, Qualcomm is X50, and Huawei's Ba Long is 5000. I won't say much about the specific performance of these two baseband, and the previous related answers have been mentioned many times. As far as these two 5G base bands are concerned, Ba Long directly loses Qualcomm in 5000 seconds. Of course, you can also say that Qualcomm has X55 baseband. Sorry, this baseband has not been commercialized, and it belongs to PPT baseband. Let's compare it after commercialization. To tell the truth, even X55 is not as good as Ba Long, but as good as Ba Long. Overall, Huawei's 5G baseband is about half a year ahead of Qualcomm.
3.5G number of core patents: As mentioned above, we can look at the number of 5G core patents counted by professional institutions. Not much to say, just look at the picture (this data table is actually a little old, it was at the beginning of the year), but even so, we can see that Huawei's 5G patent is still the first in the world, accounting for 15%, while Qualcomm only accounts for 8% of the patent. Even the 5G core patents of all American companies add up to less than Huawei's 15%.
4. The Qualcomm of equipment production is zero: needless to say. Qualcomm does not have this business, nor does it produce any 5G terminal equipment. Now, Qualcomm has no other business except selling mobile phone chips and patents. Huawei can provide a full set of 5G devices, from base stations to terminals, which can be said to be a complete set of 5G solutions, plus Huawei's own 5G mobile phone and the future Internet of Things system based on 5G.
Through the above fields, we can see that Huawei has surpassed Qualcomm in other aspects except the formulation of the 5G standard. On the whole, Huawei's crush on Qualcomm in the field of 5G has been completely established. Therefore, Ren mentioned in many interviews that Huawei is 2-3 years ahead of the United States in 5G, which is true!
Thank you for reading. Give me a compliment and encouragement. Welcome to the Roche entomological society. Thank you ~ ~ The answer to this question is obvious. Huawei is much better than Qualcomm.
Qualcomm's business is mainly divided into two parts: chips and patents. The chips are well-known Snapdragon series, including 855/845 SoC and X55/X50 baseband chips. Qualcomm has certain patents on the 5G standard.
Huawei is the entire industry chain capability in the 5G field. The terminal has its own Kirin chip SoC, Ba Long 5000 baseband chip, Huawei mobile phone and a series of products. Huawei is the world's number one in 5G communication equipment, and the world's number one in essential patents for 5G communication standards. Huawei's carrier-grade router switches in the 5G core network have surpassed Cisco and remain the world's number one.
Therefore, Qualcomm also has certain strength in 5G, but Huawei's ability in 5G can cover the whole industrial chain. Huawei, including Qualcomm, Apple, Ericsson and Cisco, has set foot in 5G services and is among the best. So in terms of overall strength, Huawei is indeed much stronger than Qualcomm.
