Pre5G
to be available much earlier than 5G, ZTE expert told delegates at
International Workshop on 5G-ICT Technologies conference in Beijing
SHENZHEN, China - Monday, November 10th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share
stock code: 000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of
telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices,
provided further updates on the company’s vision on pre5G at a
high-level international meeting of experts and industry officials to
discuss global development of 5G technology.
In an address to the
International Workshop on 5G-ICT Technologies conference in Beijing,
Dr. Xiang Jiying, Chief Technology Officer of Wireless Products of ZTE,
said pre5G will become available much earlier than 5G and deliver user
experience comparable to 5G, offering high throughput and low latency.
Pre5G will utilize some key 5G technologies, whilst being provisioned on
existing 4G UE (user equipment), Dr. Xiang told delegates at the
conference.
“Even though the industry is still working on 5G
standardization, we already have a lot of clarity on 5G user experience
and the 5G candidate technologies,” Dr. Xiang said. “Therefore, pre5G
can be defined and implemented even before 5G becomes standardized.”
The
International Workshop on 5G-ICT Technologies conference, hosted by the
Future Mobile Communications Forum, was attended by experts from
companies including China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Qualcomm
and Intel, in addition to Mr. Cao Jianlin, Vice Minister of Ministry of
Science and Technology, Madam Dai Xiaohui, Deputy Director-General of
Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Industry and
Information Technology, and Mr. Philipp Barth, Head of CONNECT Section -
Communications Networks, Content & Technology Delegation of the
European Union to China and Mongolia. ZTE’s Dr. Zhu Fusheng, member of
5G General Expert Group of National 863 Plan was one of the chairmen of
the conference.
As a global leading supplier of wireless
communications solutions, ZTE has put lots of effort into 5G research
and development, and has been making breakthroughs and innovations in
researches on key 5G technologies. Massive MIMO has been recognized as a
5G technology in the industry. Currently, ZTE has been developing
pre-commercial Massive MIMO products without modifying the legacy 4G air
interface, thus Massive MIMO has become an important part of pre5G. ZTE
has proposed the Virtual Cell technology for evolution from Cloud Radio
to the Ultra Dense Network (UDN), which effectively solves the problem
of cell-edge interference in 4G networks. The Multi-User Shared Access
(MUSA) technology proposed by ZTE improves network capacity
significantly, with reasonable complexity. The coding-based design
greatly enlarges the number of users accessed simultaneously, and SIC
receivers are used so no synchronization is required between users,
which is particularly useful for prolonging terminal battery life.
Therefore, uplink MUSA is suitable good candidate for Machine Type
Communications (MTC). In addition, ZTE has been investing heavily in 4G
vector processing chips for several years, which have an extensible
software architecture and strong processing capacity and can meet pre5G
requirements by just modifying instruction sets rather than changing the
hardware.
ZTE is a major contributor and participant in
researches on global 5G standards. As a major member of the IMT-2020
(5G) Promotion Group, ZTE leads some important researches, such as
IEEE-oriented 5G technologies, 5G network architecture, and breakthrough
technologies for the physical layer of 5G networks. ZTE has established
partnerships and alliances on research and innovation with many
high-end customers worldwide in customer requirements, scenario study,
new service applications, and network architecture innovation, striving
to develop the most suitable solutions for end users.
