China plans to explore next-gen 6G standards
Recently, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government issued the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of Strategic Emerging Industries and Leading Industries in Shanghai”.
The plan mentioned that during the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan period, Shanghai will combine its own scientific and educational resources with its industrial fundamental advantages to lay out a group plan for future industries.
With this plan, the 6G standards will increase positioning accuracy to centimeter-level, over 10 times more precise than 5G, achieves under one-millisecond delay in end-to-end transmission with ten-million level dense network nodes access capability.
China’s current 6G research focus is on: the development of a new generation of channel coding and modulation technology, a new generation of antenna and radiofrequency technology, terahertz wireless communication technology and systems, multi-platform integrated communication technology, software, and open source network key technologies, and Key technologies of 6G such as AI-based wireless communication technology and dynamic spectrum sharing technology.
Deeply participating in the national 6G technology projects, research to deploy several scientific and technological projects, actively participating in 6G standardization competition, and maintaining an active first-mover advantage in the fields of chips, test equipment, and mobile terminals. Presently, many countries have launched 6G research projects.
The United States opened the 95 GHz to 3 Terahertz frequency bands as a test spectrum in 2020 and initiated the research and development of 6G technology. The European Union launched the 6G flagship research project Hexa-X in January 2021, with Nokia as the leader of the project. South Korea and Japan are also stepping up their 6G deployment.
