5G is considered to be disruptive technology because it connects not just billions of mobile terminals, but all networking devices. According to the data of the third party, in the next few years, networking equipment will reach 50 billion, the massive data it brings is incomparable in the past few generations of mobile communication technology, for the industry, both opportunities and challenges!
Although there is still a long way to go from 5G to commercial, the challenge faced by 5G business is a problem that the industry has to think about. In the days before Intel held the 5G industry salon, Intel fellow, communication and wireless standard equipment division chief technical expert Wu Geng pointed out, 5G will face not only the air interface, from the terminal to the network to the cloud industry need to consider. In other words, 5G provides both new wireless capabilities and new network capabilities.
As we all know, 5G has the advantages of high bandwidth, low latency, low power consumption and other advantages such as 2G to 4G, so 5G is also considered as the foundation of large-scale applications in virtual reality, unmanned driving and other fields. But to achieve the application of 5G is not accomplished overnight, Wu Geng in the field of Internet of things cited an example. He believes that the realization of the Internet of things will go through three stages:
The first thing is to connect things;
The second stage is intelligence;
Finally, make the device autonomous.
Connectivity is fundamental to every generation of mobile communications, but what does it mean to be intelligent and autonomous?
Wu Geng told Lei Feng network, "the process of computing requirements, the requirements of the operation is constantly, gradually upgrade, the need for communication and computing fusion, especially the artificial intelligence to join."."
Obviously, when the equipment has autonomy, the system will become more complex. Wu Geng pointed out that in the next few years, the complexity of system software and hardware is at least 20 times the current, at the same time, the risk of error will be higher. Therefore, an autonomous system must be intelligent enough to detect and control errors.
On the machine, if it is to stay in a very low level in the form of connection, it has no wisdom, no intelligence, when we scale, after the information society the whole industry fully intelligent, is actually the need of artificial intelligence, more intelligent, communication and computing integration design, can be trusted to create autonomous system the.
Therefore, if compared with the past several generations of mobile communications to design communication networks as a starting point, from the 5G era, the focus of the whole industry in the integration of communications and computing evolution, in fact, the ability to calculate requirements will be higher and higher.
Since last year, the concept of edge computing has been put forward in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. The aim is to transfer the large scale computing and high-performance computing that only existed in the data center to the edge of the network, so as to release the value of the network. And at this point, the network is clearly not the traditional sense of the pipeline.
So, 5G is not just an upgrade on the air interface (5G = 4G+1G), it is from the network to the terminal of the whole industry chain.
About standards
How about the development of 5G standards?
The Ministry of IMT-2020 to promote the group of experts Luo Zhendong: 5G two standardization organizations to define, one is the ITU (International Telecommunication Union), but ITU is not the specific technical standards, the parties submitted 5G standard proposal to discuss the assessment, finally determine which is 5G; real details is called 3GPP in another organization, there are some differences in the two standards organizations, because 3GPP is the standard plan according to the requirements of ITU.
ITU will start the assessment of 5G standards in the second half of this year, that is to say, all parties can submit proposals for the 5G standard, which will be evaluated through a series of discussions and finally determined in 2020. And the industry is more concerned about the 3GPP, 3GPP discuss specific technical details, next year will complete the first edition of 5G standard, will focus on 5G part of the scene. By the second half of 2019, the second version of 5G will be completed. This version contains all the requirements of the 5G scene. In the future, it will form the ITU standard of 5G.
Both domestic and foreign, mainstream enterprises have a common voice: hope to make a global unified 5G standard in the 5G phase. This has not been achieved in the past, for this purpose, whether domestic government or IMT-2020 5G propulsion group, the work of 5G is very open. We are very active cooperation, including many foreign enterprises are involved in our 5G R & D activities, Intel is also actually involved in some of our domestic 5G technical test, but also participated in the declaration of many national projects. In this case, I would like to emphasize the issue of uniform standards.
What is the right of domestic organizations to speak in 3GPP?
Luo Zhendong: I just mentioned standard, although we hope that through our technology innovation to enhance their strength and discourse, can be more into the international standard, but still need to have an international cooperation environment, also need to reach a consensus on the basis of consensus, the parties through their own technological innovation the new technology on the 5G standard.
So far Chinese industry has done very well, including with foreign enterprises have established good relations of cooperation, such as our industrial organization as the platform, Chinese with Japan and South Korea have already signed a strategic cooperation agreement, here I don't want to emphasize who is stronger, but we hope to define this the common standard, because no matter who is this technology, the most important thing is to serve the entire industry, service to every user, all parties need to form a consensus. The emphasis is on this
