6G时代，要来了

Core Insights - The discussion on 6G standards officially commenced in early 2025, with a series of research and seminars aimed at reaching industry consensus on the next generation of mobile communication technology. By the end of this year, the blueprint for 6G is expected to become clearer, with the first commercial 6G services anticipated to launch around 2030 [1][2] - The United States plans to showcase 6G technology during the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, with demonstrations organized by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) [1] - The initial 6G specifications will be included in the 21st release of 3GPP, with a timeline for this work to be established by June 2026. The full-scale work is expected to begin in March 2027, with a typical release cycle lasting about 18 months [1] Group 1 - The ongoing phase of research and discussions regarding 6G will continue until the end of this year and early 2027, amidst geopolitical factors that may introduce friction in global efforts [2] - 3GPP has initiated research on 6G technology alongside the development of 5G Advanced specifications, emphasizing the need for continuity between the two technologies [4] - Major equipment suppliers like Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia view 5G Advanced as foundational for 6G, with expected advancements in machine learning integration, energy efficiency, latency reduction, advanced MIMO technology, and satellite integration [4] Group 2 - Collaboration among standard organizations is expected to intensify this year, with ETSI hosting a workshop in April 2025 to explore synergies in open RAN efforts with O-RAN Alliance and 3GPP [6] - Artificial intelligence is anticipated to permeate various aspects of 6G, influencing standardization processes related to interfaces, protocols, and algorithms, as well as playing a crucial role in network security discussions [6]
