China expects standard setting for 6G technology to be achieved around 2025
Chinese media quoted Wang Zhiqin, head of China’s 6G promotion team and vice president of the China Information Academy, as saying that China aims to start commercializing 6G technology by 2030, and that it will be completed by around 2025. It is expected that standard setting of the technology will be achieved. Communication technology.
Wang pointed out that China started 6G technology experiments last year and is proceeding with research on 6G system architecture and technology solutions by 2023.
“As for 6G development, each country is in the early stage of technology research and has not yet formed unified standards in 6G network construction and key technologies,” Wang said, according to the report.
According to Wang, 6G-related research has opened up new application scenarios, such as the combination of communication and sensitivity, the combination of communication and artificial intelligence, and the mass Internet of Things based on integrated satellite and terrestrial mobile communication.
Meanwhile, MIIT Vice-Minister Zhang Yunming recently said that there is a need to foster a 6G application ecosystem in advance, with the aim of accelerating the integrated development of 5G and next-generation wireless technology, and new technologies such as XR and robots. Build a solid foundation for 6G applications.
In June, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced that the Chinese government had allocated spectrum in the 6GHz frequency band for 5G and 6G services. The ministry said that considering the benefits of coverage and capacity, the 6 GHz spectrum is the only high-quality resource with wide bandwidth in the mid-band, making the 6 GHz range particularly suitable for the deployment of 5G systems or 6G. future system.
MIIT pointed out that the current 6GHz band allocation “will help stabilize 5G/6G industry expectations.”
Last year, China’s IMT-2030 (6G) Promotion Group, which promotes 6G research and development and international cooperation, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on 6G with the 6G Smart Network and Service Industry Association (6G-IA), which represents the European industry. It was concluded. Research on next generation networks and services.
Under the terms of the agreement, the two organizations announced plans to further promote cooperation on 6G systems and networks.
The purpose of China’s 6G Promotion Group is to bring together China’s industrial and academic research to promote 6G in a wide range of areas, including technology level and economic and social impact.
6G systems are expected to be commercially launched by 2030. The first stage of standardization will probably start in 2025, with the first 6G specification in 3GPP Release 21 by 2028.
