Chinanews client, Beijing, June 7th (Reporter Wu Tao) Air, space and ground integrated network, no blind spots in the signal; as long as there is the sea in the heart, it is Maldives everywhere; interact with emotional robots with emotion and temperature...

  This is not a science fiction movie, this is a possible future.

On the 6th, the IMT-2030(6G) Promotion Group released the "6G Overall Vision and Potential Key Technologies" white paper, describing the potential application scenarios of 6G.

How might 6G change our lives?

Immersive Cloud XR: Get rid of the shackles of cables,

eyeballs can also interact

  Extended reality (XR) is a collective term for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR).

  The white paper stated that the future cloud-based XR system will get rid of the shackles of cables, and will realize complex services such as voice interaction, gesture interaction, head interaction, and eyeball interaction between users and the environment. It needs to meet ultra-low time requirements in a relatively definite system environment. Extension and ultra-high bandwidth can bring the ultimate experience to users.

Holographic communication: three-dimensional dynamic interaction of people, objects and the environment

  With the continuous development of wireless network capabilities, high-resolution rendering and terminal display devices, the future holographic information transmission will be restored through natural and realistic vision, realizing the three-dimensional dynamic interaction of people, objects and their surrounding environment, which greatly meets the needs of human beings. Communication needs between people, people and things, people and the environment.

  The white paper states that in the future, holographic communication will be widely used in many fields such as culture and entertainment, medical and health, education, social production, etc., so that people are not restricted by time and space, and open the boundary between virtual and real scenes, so that users can enjoy the immersive experience The ultimate immersive experience.

Sensory Interconnection: Experience beach walks and sea breeze at home

  Imagining the future, family members separated by oceans may no longer cross half of the world to meet each other. Through sensory interconnection devices, they will feel the temperature of a hug and a handshake; sitting at home can stroll the Maldives beach and experience the sand sliding The refreshing feeling between the fingers and the sea breeze.

  The white paper pointed out that facing 2030 and the future, the effective transmission of more sensory information will become part of the communication means. Sensory interconnection may become the mainstream communication method in the future, which is widely used in medical and health, skill learning, entertainment life, road traffic, and office. Fields such as production and emotional interaction.

Smart interaction: the

relationship between humans and agents will be transformed into emotional human interactions

  Relying on the future 6G mobile communication network, it is expected that breakthroughs will be made in new research directions such as emotional interaction and brain-computer interaction (brain-computer interface).

In the smart interaction scenario, the agent will produce active smart interaction behavior, and at the same time, it can realize emotional judgment and feedback intelligence.

  The white paper introduces that agents with perceptual, cognitive, and even thinking skills will completely replace traditional intelligent interactive devices. The dominance and dominance relationship between humans and agents will begin to move toward a more equal category with emotions, temperatures, and more. Human interaction transformation.

  Intelligent systems with emotional interaction capabilities can monitor the user's psychological and emotional state through voice dialogue or facial expression recognition, and adjust the user's emotions in time to avoid health hazards; manipulate the machine through the mind or brain, allowing the machine to replace some functions of the human body , It can make up for the physical defects of the disabled, maintain an efficient working state, learn a lot of knowledge and skills in a short time, and realize "non-destructive" brain information transmission.

Communication perception: control the machine without touching gestures

  In the future, 6G networks will be able to use communication signals to realize target detection, positioning, identification, imaging and other sensing functions. Wireless communication systems will be able to use sensing functions to obtain information about the surrounding environment, intelligently and accurately allocate communication resources, tap potential communication capabilities, and enhance users Experience.

  The sensor network constructed based on wireless signals can replace lidars and cameras that are susceptible to light and clouds, obtain high all-weather sensing resolution and detection probability, and realize the subdivision of pedestrians, bicycles, strollers and other surrounding environmental objects through perception.

In order to realize the cooperation between robots, non-contact gesture control, human body action recognition and other applications.

Pratt & Whitney Intelligence: Trillion-level equipment collaboration and learning

  By 2030, more and more personal and household devices, various urban sensors, unmanned vehicles, smart robots, etc. will become new types of smart terminals.

Different from traditional smart phones, these new terminals can not only support high-speed data transmission, but also realize collaboration and learning between different types of smart devices.

  The white paper stated that it is conceivable that the number of devices connected to the entire society through 6G networks will reach trillions in the future. These smart devices can achieve ultra-high efficiency in the operation and development of the physical world through continuous learning, communication, cooperation and competition. Simulation and prediction, and give the best decision.

Digital twin: a digital mirror of the physical world

  With the continuous development of perception, communication and artificial intelligence technologies, entities or processes in the physical world will be digitally mirrored and copied in the digital world. People and people, people and things, and things can rely on the mapping in the digital world. Realize intelligent interaction.

  The future 6G era will enter the virtual twin digital world.

In the medical field, the medical system can use the information of the digital twin human body to make disease diagnosis and predict the best treatment plan; in the industrial field, optimizing product design through the digital domain can reduce costs and increase efficiency; in the agricultural field, use digital Twins simulates and deduces the agricultural production process, which can predict unfavorable factors in advance and improve the capacity of agricultural production and the efficiency of land use.

  Especially in the field of network operation and maintenance, through closed-loop interaction, cognitive intelligence, and automated operation and maintenance in the digital and physical domains, the network can quickly adapt to the complex and changeable dynamic environment to achieve planning, construction, monitoring, optimization and self-healing Wait for the "autonomy" of the whole life cycle of operation and maintenance.

Full network coverage: signal no longer has blind spots

  At present, there are still more than 3 billion people in the world who do not have basic Internet access. Most of them are located in rural and remote areas. The high cost of ground communication network construction makes it difficult for telecom operators to afford it.

The communication needs of unmanned land and ocean waters, such as high-speed communication for Antarctic scientific expeditions, and broadband access for ocean-going freighters, cannot be met by deploying terrestrial networks.

In addition to the surface of the earth, there are also more and more connectivity requirements for aerial equipment such as drones and airplanes.

  With the gradual integration of services and the continuous expansion of deployment scenarios, ground cellular networks and space networks including high-orbit satellite networks, low- and medium-orbit satellite networks, high-altitude platforms, and drones will merge with each other to build a global wide-area coverage The integrated three-dimensional network of space, space and ground provides users with broadband mobile communication services without blind spots.

  Those applications that could only be seen in science fiction films may be expected to be realized in the 6G era.
