Recently, China's 6G communication technology research and development has made an important breakthrough. Nando Bay News Agency reporter was informed that the 25 Institute of China Aerospace Science and Industry Second Institute recently completed the first domestic terahertz orbital angular momentum of real-time wireless transmission communication experiments.

It is reported that the wireless back transmission technology and terahertz communication in the above experiment are both core technologies in 6G communication. 25 Institute introduced that in the future, the successful high-speed communication technology of this experiment can also serve in the field of 10m-1km close range broadband transmission, providing support for the high-speed transmission between lunar exploration, fire exploration lander and cruiser, cable-free bus transmission inside spacecraft and other space applications, providing support for China's deep space exploration, new spacecraft research and development to provide information security capabilities. The completion of this experiment will undoubtedly provide important guarantee and support for the development of 6G communication technology in China.

China's 6G technology is a new breakthrough

According to the public information, since 2021, the 25 Institute has been targeting the hot demand of 6G communication, following the frontier of international communication technology, choosing terahertz orbit angular momentum communication as a new breakthrough direction, realizing multiplexed signal transmission in the terahertz band, completing ultra-large capacity data transmission, and increasing spectrum utilization more than twice.

According to the information of "Aerospace 25" on April 18, recently, 25 completed the first domestic real-time wireless transmission experiment of terahertz orbital angular momentum in Beijing, using high-precision spiral phase plate antenna to achieve four different beam modes in 110GHz band, and through four-mode synthesis to complete the transmission bandwidth of 10GHz. The 100Gbps wireless real-time transmission is completed by 4-mode synthesis at 10GHz transmission bandwidth, which maximizes the bandwidth utilization and provides important guarantee and support for the development of 6G communication technology in China.

Wireless backhaul technology is the key technology to connect base station and core network equipment in mobile backhaul network. With the increasing demand of communication rate, mobile communication frequency band is extended to millimeter wave and higher terahertz band, signal transmission loss is greatly increased, and base station deployment density will be greatly increased. In the base station "highly dense" 5G / 6G communication era, the traditional fiber-based bearer network transmission will face high cost, long deployment cycle, poor flexibility and other issues, wireless backhaul technology will gradually take over the dominant position. According to a research report, the proportion of global base stations using wireless backhaul will be as high as 62% or more in 2023.

Terahertz communication, as a new spectrum technology, can provide greater transmission bandwidth to meet the demand for higher speed transmission, and gradually become one of the key technologies of 6G communication. For the future, the peak rate of 6G communication will reach 1Tbps, which needs to further improve the utilization rate under the existing spectrum resources to achieve higher wireless transmission capability.

The 25 Institute introduced, in the future, the successful high-speed communication technology can also serve in the field of 10m-1km close range broadband transmission, to provide support for high-speed transmission between lunar exploration, fire exploration lander and cruiser, spacecraft internal cable-free bus transmission and other space applications, to provide information security capabilities for China's deep space exploration, new spacecraft research and development.

6G may be officially commercialized in 2030

6G, the sixth generation of mobile communication technology, also known as the sixth generation of mobile communication standards. In contrast to the current 5G network, the basic features of 6G are greater bandwidth, wider coverage and more intelligence. The latter uses millimeter wave and terahertz as the representative new technologies, with download speeds theoretically up to 1TB per second. 6G's transmission capacity is theoretically 100 times higher than 5G, and network delays may also be reduced from milliseconds to microsecond levels.

In addition to a significant increase in transmission capacity, the 6G wireless network is no longer trapped on the ground, but will achieve a seamless connection between ground, satellite and airborne networks. According to a research report by China Merchants Securities, super wireless broadband, ultra-large scale connectivity, extremely reliable communications, inclusive intelligent services, and communication-aware convergence are the five major application scenarios for 6G communications.

According to public information, the 6G technology test is divided into three phases: 2022-2024 is the key technology test phase, to clarify the main technology direction of 6G, carry out concept prototype test and verification, and improve technical capabilities; 2025-2026 is the technology program test phase, for typical scenarios and performance indicators, research and development of 6G prototypes, single-station functional testing and performance verification; 2027-2030 or so is the technology program test phase; Around 2027-2030 is the system networking test phase, developing 6G pre-commercial equipment, carrying out 6G key product testing, and comprehensively verifying and optimizing 6G capabilities.

According to industry consensus, 6G may be officially commercialized by 2030.

The market space brought by 6G is huge. According to the forecast of China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, by 2040, the number of 6G terminal connections of all types will increase by more than 30 times compared to 2022, and the average monthly traffic will increase by more than 130 times, which will eventually bring a vast market development space of "100 billion terminal connections and trillion GB of monthly traffic" for 6G. Research firm MarketResearchFuture expects the global 6G market to exceed $340 billion by 2040, with a compound annual growth rate of 58.1%. The agency believes that China will be one of the largest 6G markets in the world.

Global 6G arms race begins
