Forging The Intelligent Future: Vivo Communications Research Institute Unveils Latest 6G R&D Progress
BEIJING , Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivo Communications Research Institute today presented its latest research achievements in the field of 6G at the company's conference titled "6G Approaches." The institute has published three white papers: “Artificial Intelligence and Communication Convergence,” “Embedded Sensors and Communication Technologies,” and “Sixth Generation Network Engineering.” The event saw the launch of several prototypes designed by Vivo, using technologies identified as essential for the next generation of mobile communications standards, to see how 6G technology can shape consumers' experiences and lifestyles.
Since 2020, the Vivo Communications Research Institute has been actively conducting in-depth research on 6G networks, as described in three previously published technical reports: "Digital Life 2030+", "6G Vision, Requirements and Challenges" and "Services , 6G Potentials". and Challenges ". Technologies. Activate it." . ".
"At Vivo, we believe that technology should serve our customers and enrich their lives in meaningful ways," said Chen Fei , president of Vivo Communications Research Institute. "This philosophy pushes us to explore new frontiers from a consumer perspective." “To reflect this idea, the book series we are launching today explores key concepts and technologies that we believe will help shape the 6G user experience, including artificial intelligence and sensor technologies, as well as the network architecture that inherently supports the convergence of mobile communications. and computing, making 6G possible.
The convergence of artificial intelligence and communication
Communication systems are evolving to meet demands for higher performance, lower latency, higher reliability, and more connections. To this end, artificial intelligence (AI) has been identified as one of the core technologies of the 6G network, with the potential to provide differentiated solutions.
"AI can help solve the multiple challenges of the 6G communication system, support the advancement of communication technologies, improve signal transmission and improve network connectivity, thereby providing our customers with more stable and smooth network connections. anytime, anywhere," he said. , Transportation Manager. Technology at the In Vivo Communication Research Institute.
Given the key role AI can play in the 6G user experience, Vivo's research was conducted from the device manufacturer's perspective. Vivo Communications Research Institute proposed a series of system design principles, including unified life cycle management (LCM) based on logical nodes to implement an elegant, efficient and future-proof protocol architecture. In addition, Peng also introduced the 6G AI distributed system designed by vivo, which will be the key to ensuring data privacy and security.
Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)
The integration of sensing and communication technologies in 6G is expected to play an important role in many scenarios, such as industrial automation, smart healthcare, smart transportation, storage and logistics, etc. Jiang Dajie, Director of 6G at Vivo Communications Research Institute, outlined Vivo's position on key ISAC technologies, signal and waveform design, multi-band cooperative sensing, multi-antenna ISAC systems, Coordinated Point Multiples (CoMP ) from ISAC and the links, including adaptation, presented. . ISAC mobility management and non-ideal factor detection methods.
Vivo also launched three ISAC prototypes based on different sensing modes, including single base station (BS) sensing, dual BS-to-UE sensing , and CoMP-based sensing. The prototypes provide intuitive visualization of ISAC scenarios, such as position and velocity measurement, trajectory tracking, and respiration tracking.
“ISAC technology will impact the way people engage with the digital world and can play a decisive role in various scenarios, such as healthcare, intelligent transportation and industrial automation. 6G systems, enhanced with tracking capabilities, will increase consumer convenience. in the future," said Jiang Dajie .
6G network architecture
The design of the 6G network architecture is essential to effectively integrate communications, artificial intelligence and sensor technologies to meet the expected requirements of 6G service. At this event, Yuan Yannan, Vivo's 6G technology specialist, shared the design principles of Vivo's 6G network architecture and provided an overview of the overall system architecture and core technologies.
“There are three main design principles of 6G network architecture: maintaining the advantages of 5G, meeting the new requirements of 6G, and improving core capabilities. Guided by these principles, the 6G network architecture naturally supports features such as AI and ISAC, which provide users with services that go beyond simple communication. Multidimensional services that provide an excellent user experience.
vivo believes that key technologies such as AI-based networks, near-zero-energy IoT, 6G integrated satellite network, and the convergence of mobile networks and computing will open new opportunities in the 6G era. With the advent of many cutting-edge technologies, mobile users will be able to overcome the limitations of their hardware to play high-quality online games, interact with 3D virtual characters, and experience XR anywhere, anytime.
6G technology will provide a future full of extraordinary opportunities for the communications sector and our consumers. Vivo's vision for 6G technology is to build a freely connected physical and digital world, and the company is working to realize this vision by working with industry partners around the world.
