What can 6G bring?

"6G will greatly expand mobile communication network capabilities and service boundaries, continue to deepen the scope and fields of IoT applications, and effectively serve intelligent production and life." Han Xia said.

Huang Yuhong, vice president of China Mobile Communications Research Institute, said that 6G will give birth to new business scenarios such as synesthesia interconnection, holographic communication, and digital twins. In terms of new technologies, 6G will enable technologies such as wireless air interfaces, smart-simplified distributed networks, digital twin networks, and secure endogenous technologies to achieve 6G extreme transmission requirements, full-scenario services, and a high degree of network autonomy.

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Wireless CTO Tong Wen believes that the future 6G will be like a huge distributed neural network, integrating communication, perception, computing and other capabilities. It will deeply integrate the physical world, biological world and digital world, and truly open up a whole world. A new era of "All Things Connected" that is perceived, connected and intelligent.

"The core vision of 6G is to realize the interconnection between agents and build a communication network shared by all agents (including humans and intelligent machines). The 6G era will realize the six major AIs of network, terminal, business, computing power, storage, and data. The integration of resources provides an AI platform for thousands of industries." said Yang Ning, director of the Standards Research Department of OPPO Research Institute.

Cai Liyu, head of Shanghai Nokia Bell Co., Ltd. Bell Labs (China), believes that 6G, as a new-generation network paradigm, will penetrate and influence human society in a greater depth and breadth, and expand human survival and potential. 6G will greatly expand network communication capabilities through the support of artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other technologies, better perceive and understand the physical world, and achieve seamless connection and deep integration of the physical world, biological world, and digital world.

The world's leading regions have begun the 6G technology research and development process. According to Bernard Barani, deputy director of the Future Connected Systems Department of the European Commission’s Communications Network Content and Technology Directorate, it is expected that the first batch of 6G products and infrastructure will be launched in the next 10 years. The European Commission is preparing a proposal for a strategic partnership for 6G smart networks and services in Europe, to carry out 6G-related research activities under the "European Horizon" plan in the form of joint commitments.
