Ericsson: 6G will build virtual and reality unity, holographic communication is expected to become ultimate applications

  During the World 5G Conference, Zhang Yongtao, deputy general manager of Ericsson China Technology Department, said in an interview with the media that 6G is not a simple rate of increase, and will build a unity of virtual and reality. He believes that holographic communication will be expected to go from science fiction to reality, and it will explode in the TO C field in the future.

  While the 5G is developing rapidly, the evolution of 5G and the development of 6G have also become a hot topic in the industry. At the communication meeting, Ericsson released the "Innovation and Vision Report", which proposed the four major scenes of 2030.

  Zhang Yongtao introduced that these four major scenes are perceived the Internet, connected intelligent machines, digital programmable physical worlds, and sustainable world interconnection. The support technologies behind them include unlimited connections, credible systems, cognitive networks, and computing power. network.

  He said that in the future, all machines are interconnected. In this case, we can produce a mirror of a digital world in the physical world, which can be programmed on it. Based on this, Ericsson put forward a view on 6G. 6G is not a simple increase, and it will build a unity of virtual and reality. The physical world has consciousness, action, and experience. These can be virtual and programmed in the digital world. The changes in the physical world are synchronized with the changes in the digital world. You can adopt a large amount of data sources from the physical world to the digital world. The digital world analysis After simulation, the results can be presented in the real world through various drivers. In this way, we can trace and analyze the past, and can simulate and predict the future.

  Based on the above mentioned imagination, Ericsson announced six innovation areas, including digital twin, holographic communication, hybrid learning, immersion experience, net zero emissions, and technological innovation.

  Among them, Zhang Yongtao believes that holographic communication is moving from science fiction to reality. He revealed that Ericsson's internal innovation project made a relatively simple holographic communication. Using a camera with laser radar, the 3D detection function generates a data source, and then connects AR glasses through a mobile phone to produce holographic image effects.

"This method actually allows holographic communication to go from science fiction to reality. This use case has the ability to use quasi-commercial use." Zhang Yongtao said that in the next stage, applications such as AR and holographic communication are expected to achieve outbreaks in the field of To C.

The vision is beautiful, and to achieve these visions, it also needs to build a network ability step by step.

For the next ten years of online evolution, Zhang Yongtao summarized it into three channels, including a solid foundation, that is, the plan to solve the short -term problem at the same time lay the foundation for the future; to explore realistic and continuously explore the standardization and interoperability in the strategic technology field. Sex; future research, promote cooperation research to guide, motivate and plan long -term technological development.

He mentioned that the solid foundation contains all aspects of network construction, because many 5G potential has not been fully released.

Specifically, in terms of 5G investment rhythm, although China is leading the world's 5G construction, Ericsson believes that there is still a lot of space. The external data of Xintong Institute will be built to more than 3605G base stations by 2025. According to this number, 50%is currently completed. In addition, in addition to the construction of 5G networks, how to use 5G also has a lot Slice, how to operate with intelligent AI.

"Many 5G network capabilities I saw today are slowly presenting. Let's not mention the Metaverse and digital twins first, just use XR, including holographic communication, if the needs of network traffic, the demand for network capacity is not 360 Tens of thousands of base stations can be satisfied, it is a larger number. "Zhang Yongtao said.
