China’s Advancements in 6G Standards
China’s Advancements in 6G Standards has introduced three essential 6G technology standards through the Union These standards were officially endorsed during a plenary meeting of the ITU’s Telecommunication Standardisation Sector study group and are aligned with the International Mobile Telecommunications 2030 (IMT-2030) framework. The primary objectives of these standards are to enhance immersive communication, ensure ultra-reliable low-latency performance.
Establishment of the First Field Test Network
China has also set up the world’s first field test network for 6G technology. This pioneering network serves as a platform for research institutions to test and validate various 6G technologies. . It facilitates theoretical research and initial verification of critical technologies essential for 6G deployment. The experimental network has already demonstrated remarkable improvements in key communication metrics such as capacity, coverage, and efficiency.
Commercialization Timeline for 6G
Looking ahead, China aims to commercialize 6G technology by around 2030. This timeline aligns with the anticipated completion of the standardization process for 6G technologies. Despite the ambitious goals, it is essential to note that the formal standardization efforts are still in their infancy. As part of this commercialization strategy, Chinese telecom operators are actively exploring key technological advancements that will underpin 6G networks.
Satellite Launch for Testing 6G Architecture
In May, China Mobile launched a satellite into Low Earth Orbit specifically designed for testing various aspects of 6G architecture. This satellite deployment is part of broader efforts to integrate terrestrial networks with non-terrestrial technologies such as satellites. The ability to combine these different technologies is expected to enhance connectivity and support a wide range of applications across various sectors.
Dominance in Global Market Patents
China’s private sector is making significant strides in securing its position in the global market for 6G patents. Companies like Huawei dominate this landscape, holding approximately 40% of all global patents related to 6G technology. This strong patent portfolio reflects China’s extensive investment in telecommunications talent and innovation. The country’s existing advantages in 5G technology are expected to provide a solid foundation for further advancements in 6G research and development.
