In addition to 5G, the fifth generation of mobile networks. This is the exercise that the Chinese manufacturer Live delivered in a new report. There, the world’s fifth largest smartphone maker explores the possibilities of a world of hundreds of billions of connected devices. until 2030 What 6G.
We are facing a new area of opportunity: sensory integration and communication, according to Vivo. An era where 6G mobile data connectivity services will enable optimization of capacity, data rate, latency and reliability across the globe. Until then, the emphasis should be on research and development.
Reconfigurable smart surface and new waveforms are key challenges
Vivo Communications Research Institute published its third white paper on 6G. Entitled “Building a Free Connected Physical and Digital Integrated World: 6G Services, Capabilities and Enabling Technologies.”
The report explores the 6G framework and potential technologies that vivo experts believe will help shape people’s lives beyond 2030. Thus, by enabling the digital and physical worlds to converge and impact our realities. In the future, 6G services will require new system architecture designs.
The white paper proposes that 6G provides super communication. In practice, information and computing services converge, combining communication, computing and sensoriality in a single system.
In this way, an integrated 6G network will not only connect humans to humans, but also will unite humans with machines and machines with machines. In other words, help create a new digital world.
Hundreds of billions of devices are expected to be connected by 2030, Vivo itself notes.
Services and capabilities: creating a new digital dimension with 6G
In Vivo’s view, 6G technology will expand basic telecommunications services to support entirely new experiences. Among these, we will have possibilities such as immersive mixed reality and holographic and multisensory communication.
Additionally, 6G mobile data connectivity services will continue to improve in capacity, data speed, latency, reliability, and many other aspects. So therefore they will have to be optimized several times compared to 5G.
Enabling technologies for truly ubiquitous connectivity beyond 5G
There are, however, several challenges ahead. New network functions will be required to support the new 6G services. Since 6G will converge mobile and computing networks, cross-domain data interaction and native AI networks. This requires a completely new system architecture design to implement.
In practice, the integration of sensors and communication tools opens up a new area of opportunity in wireless networks. There, native 6G AI would improve network and air interface efficiency, increase system flexibility and reduce costs.
At the same time, the introduction of an end-to-end traversal data plane is essential to support basic and intelligent information services. Low power communication lowers the barrier to terminal access, enabling truly ubiquitous connectivity.
Currently, the evolution of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology, Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) technology and new waveforms are some of the research areas that will pave the way for a more efficient and flexible network, says the report.
In short, we have a long way to go until 2030 and until the global possibilities of 6G networks can be implemented. However, given that potential, Vivo is one of the companies that is already focused on this long-term goal.
