6G技术挑战、创新与展望

Challenges,Innovations and Perspectives Towards 6G

梳理了全球6G技术研究现状,初步预估了6G需求、技术与标准研究工作路标,分析了面向6G网络的未来业务发展趋势和典型服务用例,构建了6G网络服务愿景、基本性能需求,以及基于架构、链路、空域、流域、推理与计算维度的6G使能技术框架。认为6G潜在使能技术包括自治自动网络、智能三维连接、智能大规模天线阵、按需网络拓扑与计算、超硅计算与通信。重点介绍了中兴通讯服务架构无线接入网络(SBA-RAN)、平滑虚拟小区技术(SVC)、智能反射表面多输入多输出技术(IRS-MIMO)与增强多用户共享接入(eMUSA)等6G创新技术实例,揭示了6G相对5G是“演进”还是“革命”网络的决定要素是维持摩尔定律可持续发展的超硅计算技术,并展望了5G演进网络中将广泛应用的Pre6G创新技术。

The global research progress of 6G network is briefly introduced and the tentative timeline of 6G requirements,technology and standard research is illustrated.The future traffic trend and typical use cases towards 6G network are investigated preliminarily.The vision and the key performance requirements as well as the potential enablers in the architecture,link,flow,inference and computing dimensions are established towards 6G network.The 6G potential enablers including self-driving network,the intelligent 3D-connectivity,the intelligent large-scale antenna array,the on-demand network topology and computing,as well as the beyond silicon computing and communication are introduced.Some innovation instances towards 6G from ZTE Corporation are presented such as the service-based radio access network(SBA-RAN),the smooth virtual cell(SVC),the intelligent reflective metasurface multiple input multiple output(IRS-MIMO)and enhanced multi-user shared access(eMUSA).It's revealed that whether the 6G is an"evolution"or"revolution"network of 5G is mainly determined by the innovations of beyondsilicon computing which could maintain the sustainable development of Moore's law.Finally the pre6G innovation technologies that will be widely used in the evolved 5G network are forecasted.
