6G愿景及潜在关键技术分析

6G vision and potential key technology analysis

继5G规模商用之后,世界主要国家和地区均已启动6G研发布局,抢夺下一代移动通信发展主导权。目前业界正在热烈探讨6G愿景需求及关键技术,但尚未形成最终结论。阐述了未来6G可能提供的五大典型场景、预期具备的主要技术能力指标,以及支撑典型场景和能力指标实现需要重点考虑的关键技术方向。重点针对人工智能与无线通信的融合、感知通信融合、智能超表面、太赫兹通信技术、无线网络架构等业界重点关注的创新型潜在技术进行了分析,提出未来的研究方向供业界参考。

Following the large-scale 5 G commercialization, major countries and regions in the world have launched 6 G R&D to seize the dominance in the development of next-generation mobile communications. At present, IMT industry is actively discussing 6 G vision and key technologies, but no final conclusion yet. This paper presents usage scenarios that 6 G may provide in the future, the expected main key capability indicators, and the key technical directions that need to be considered to support the realization of typical scenarios and capability indicators. The paper also provides the analysis of the innovative potential technologies that IMT industry currently focuses on, such as the integration of artificial intelligence(AI) and wireless communication, the integration of sensing and communications, intelligent reconfigurable surfaces(RIS), Terahertz communications technology, and wireless network architecture. Those future research directions are proposed for the industry’s reference.
