Well-known companies in the international communications industry and registered institutions in China can participate in the research and development of the project. In addition, more emphasis will be placed on the main role of the enterprise. Each R&D team will be led or involved by the company. It will also focus on nurturing the industrial base and talent team in the early stage of R&D, and pay more attention to the role of intermediary organizations such as TD Alliance and FuTURE Forum.

"All of this shows that the Chinese government has always attached importance to international cooperation in the field of science and technology." Cao Jianlin said that he hopes to further promote exchanges and cooperation between China and other countries in the world in the field of information and communications and jointly promote the fifth generation of mobile communication technologies worldwide. And development, hand in hand for a better future.

The development road map is clear According to the expert team leader of the 5G mobile communication research project of the National 863 Program, Prof. You Xiaohu, Vice Chairman and Secretary of the FuTURE Forum, the fifth-generation mobile communication system is a new generation of mobile communication for the development of mobile communication in 2020. system. 5G has ultra-high spectrum utilization rate and ultra-low power consumption, which is 10 times higher than 4G system in terms of transmission rate and resource utilization, and its wireless coverage performance and user experience will also be significantly improved. 5G will be closely integrated with other wireless mobile communications technologies to form a new generation of ubiquitous mobile information networks that will meet the development needs of 1,000 times more mobile Internet traffic in the next 10 years.

At present, 5G has become the focus of a new round of technological competition in the global mobile communications field. At the end of 2012, the EU launched a comprehensive METIS research program for 5G. Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom also successively supported the research and development work of 5G, and set up a special promotion organization. The 2015 World Radio Conference will develop business requirements and spectrum resource requirements for 5G mobile development.

“After experiencing 2G follow-up, 3G breakthrough, and TD-LTE leading development, China has already begun to embrace a new round of technological competition in the field of mobile communications and has actively deployed research and development work on 5G system technology.” You Xiaohu said that early this year, technology The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly initiated the establishment of the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Team, and recently officially launched the National 863 Program "Phase 5 of the Fifth Generation Mobile Communications System Research and Development" major project. To deploy 5G frontier technology research. Before 2020, the National 863 Program's 5G mobile communications research project will systematically study key technologies such as 5G architecture, wireless networking, wireless transmission, new types of antennas and radio frequency, and development and utilization of new spectrum to complete performance evaluation and prototype system design. In addition, technical tests and tests are carried out to achieve a total service support rate of 10 Gbps, which increases the spectrum efficiency and power efficiency of current 4G systems by 10 times.

Walking on the road "10 years of commercial generation, 10 years of pre-research for a generation, 4G is about to go commercial, to open the next generation of mobile communication technology - 5G's prelude to the right time." Department of Industry and Information Technology Department Director of Wenku Said that in the field of mobile communications, generating a new generation of technology every 10 years, with the gradual commercialization of 4G, 5G technology research and start to become inevitable.

At present, multiple forces such as production, research, and research have participated in the research and development of 5G. According to You Xiaohu, the participating units of the National 863 Program's 5G mobile communication research project include Southeast University, Tsinghua University, Electronic Science and Technology University, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Telecommunication Research Institute, Southwest University of Posts and Telecommunications, Telecommunications. Science and Technology Research Institute, National Radio Monitoring Center, Shanghai Wireless Communication Research Center, China Electronics Technology Group, Huawei Technologies, ZTE Corporation, Beijing Teide Dongteng Communication Technology Co., Ltd. and other 55 communications companies and academic research institutions at home and abroad. The establishment of an open R&D environment and the close integration of production, study, and research are among the important basic principles for the implementation of the 863 Program's 5G mobile communications research project.
