C114 News on May 22 (Shuiyi) Recently, the 2024 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day Conference was held in Ningbo. At the "5G-A Construction and Application Innovation Development Forum" held at the same time, Wang Changling, a network communication scientist of China Unicom, said that 5G-A includes dozens of technical characteristics in many aspects, including new capabilities, new scenes and new spectrum, covering synaesthesia convergence network, mobile Internet of Things Industrial Internet, consumer Internet and other business scenarios.
In the future, 5G-A will serve as an infrastructure to deepen the transformation of enabling digital intelligence society and continue to meet the needs of more scenarios and higher standards in the industry market. Wang Changling focused on synaesthesia and the cellular passive Internet of Things, and introduced China Unicom's innovative practice and thinking in the 5G-A field.
5G-A synaesthesia integration will have a broad application prospect in the field of low altitude communication, low altitude security, intelligent traffic control and intelligent driving. From the perspective of standardization, R19 has completed the definition of synaesthesia integration scenarios and KPIs, and operators actively participate in the verification of 5G-A synaesthesia integration multi application scenarios. More importantly, the outbreak of synaesthesia and low altitude economy has been unstoppable. On the one hand, the tide of synaesthesia integration experiment has broken out in China. On the other hand, it is predicted that the scale of China's low altitude economy will exceed trillion yuan in 2026.
Wang Changling introduced that China Unicom has built a 5G-A synaesthesia integrated base station with the core capabilities of the operator, built a perception and solution data layer based on synaesthesia integrated data, multi-source heterogeneous data fusion, perception monitoring algorithms such as R&D personnel, vehicles, environment, equipment, UAVs, and built a China Unicom synaesthesia integrated business system integration platform and park security perception monitoring platform, Realize intelligent monitoring and safety control for low altitude economy, marine economy, traffic management, mine management, park safety and other scenarios.
5G-A passive IoT acceleration is applied in local application scenarios such as smart storage and asset inventory, and in wide application scenarios such as logistics tracking and lost property search. At the same time, the technology of passive IOT tag chip is gradually mature, which needs to accelerate the process of standardization and commercialization. In addition, from the market perspective, the scale of global IoT connectivity is growing rapidly, and P-IoT helps to open up the 100 billion IoT market.
It is reported that China Unicom has built A/B/C various passive tag devices, sensor systems, unified middleware for connection and device management and tag application management systems with the core capabilities of operators, and has realized the full coverage product architecture of the "end network industry" of the passive IoT, contributing to the comprehensive development of the 5G-A passive IoT industry.
Wang Changling said that the 5G-A synaesthesia integration technology and the 5G-A passive IoT technology still have some shortcomings and need to be further upgraded and enhanced. In terms of synaesthesia integration technology, verify multi base station joint perception, expand wide area perception networking, ensure data security, improve identification accuracy, identity matching, and expand application scenarios. In terms of passive IoT technology, improve base station coverage, communication&IoT capability integration, wide area application capability, tag positioning capability, tag transmission capability, and application scenario expansion.
