OPPO officially entered 6G to create a real world of interconnected everything!
At present, 5G has covered all aspects of our life and brought us a more convenient intelligent life. Since the emergence of mobile phones, the development of mobile communication has been very rapid, and the transmission speed has increased from tens of kb to tens of mb in just a decade. At present, 5G has also been launched for some time, and many manufacturers have begun to focus on 6G. Today, OPPO released a 6G white paper, which will show the 6G prototype equipment on MWC2023.
Today, OPPO officially released a new 6G white paper - "6G: Minimal Versatility, Building a Mobile World". Based on the forward-looking research and exploration of 6G, OPPO innovatively put forward the system design architecture of "minimalism and versatility", which provides a more referential solution for the development of the next generation mobile communication system. This system design architecture "modularizes" the 6G capabilities. According to the specific capability requirements of specific use scenarios, different capability modules can be intelligently "spliced" to make the 6G more flexible and efficient to provide the underlying technical support for the future integration of everything.
IOT goes further to Zhilian
According to the OPPO white paper, the vision of 6G is to become a bridge between the physical world and the virtual world, realize the integration of the two worlds, become the infrastructure of the metauniverse, and provide the technical basis for the mobile information world. At present, 5G has achieved a breakthrough from "Internet" to "Internet of Things". On this basis, one of the core development directions of 6G is to deeply introduce and integrate artificial intelligence (AI).
Unlike traditional transmission data, the core of 6G will be to rapidly spread and deploy a set of huge AI models. A large number of AI agents will become an intermediary through learning and training to help people manage and control everything in the "connection". It is like building an image of things in the virtual world, and then controlling the physical world through AI controlling the image in the virtual world. We will really go further from "Internet of Things" to "Zhilian" and make the connection more "intelligent".
The design of the minimalist multi-energy system meets the diverse needs of 6G's integration of everything
In order to realize this vision, OPPO proposes to adopt a new design idea for 6G - "extremely simple and versatile" system design. This new concept of 6G is composed of "6G minimalist core including endogenous intelligence, spectrum sharing, and endogenous security" and "several 6G subsystems". The specific technology covers the combination of AI/6G, new security architecture, spectrum sharing, new mobile broadband, new D2D, new low latency and high reliability, communication awareness integration, and zero power consumption technology.
Compared with the "multi-parameter set+network slicing" and other network resource allocation methods adopted by 5G, this scheme allows 6G to better optimize and integrate the target vertical fields. Among them, the minimal core can provide the most basic common capabilities for all subsystems. For example, endogenous intelligence means that 6G needs to introduce AI capabilities to intelligently deploy the different capabilities of the 6G subsystem to the corresponding vertical fields, and meet the ever-changing connection needs of different fields; The new security architecture requires the establishment of multi-party trust model and endogenous security to ensure the security of diversified business data and intelligence; Flexible spectrum management and sharing will use blockchain technology to simplify spectrum allocation and management and improve spectrum utilization efficiency.
Considering the actual needs of different scenarios, on the basis of the "minimalist core", 6G can make special optimization for the four directions of cloud connection, key Internet of Things, ubiquitous Internet of Things and location awareness, and then design 1-2 subsystems for these directions respectively. The subsystems can be combined and switched as required through AI to serve different vertical industries and use scenarios.
Actively invest in 6G pre-research, and OPPO leads the forefront development of communication technology
As a leading technology enterprise in the world, OPPO continues to invest in technology research and development in the field of communication. As the pioneer of 5G, OPPO has started 6G pre-research since 2019, mainly starting from the needs of new 6G terminals and new services.
At present, the overall research of 6G is still in its infancy, and the whole industry is still in the process of continuous exploration. OPPO's key research directions for 6G include the combination of AI and wireless communication, zero-power terminal technology, user-centric, synaesthesia integration, space-space, terahertz/wireless optical communication and other fields, and promote the maturity of relevant technical discussions through verification system, technical research and standard industrial activities.
In terms of standardization, OPPO has actively participated in various standardization organizations at home and abroad, including ITU, 3GPP, CCSA, IMT-2030 Promotion Group, Future Forum, etc., and has contributed to the work of 6G standardization. In the future, OPPO will continue to explore the research and development of 6G cutting-edge technology while continuing to promote the process of 5G large-scale commercial, and create a real "mobile world" for users.
This year, OPPO has made frequent moves. It has not only started to develop its own mobile phone AP chip, but also focused on 6G. From this white paper, we can see that OPPO has laid out 6G for many years and is determined to create a truly interconnected world for users.
