A pre-research team has been established by OPPO to conduct preliminary research on AI-driven 6G network service and technology requirements, key technologies and system features
As 5G technology slowly but steadily spreads across the world, smartphone brand OPPO, to help 6G networks self-optimise and dynamically administrate themselves, on Tuesday released its AI-driven 6G network strategy, saying that artificial intelligence (AI) will act as a new dimension to the next generation of communication networks.
Making the technology and its benefits available to all, the AI-driven 6G network technology will fundamentally revolutionise how AI infers, learns, interacts, and is applied, according to a 6G white paper released by the OPPO Research Institute.
Mobile communication technology evolves in decade-long periods, and standardisation of the next generation of communication technology is expected to begin in 2025, with commercial implementation following in around 2035″, said Henry Tang, Chief 5G Scientist at OPPO.
“Looking towards 2035, OPPO expects the number of intelligent agents in the world to far exceed the number of humans. Therefore, the next generation of communication technology, 6G, should be able to serve the needs not only of people but of all forms of intelligence and their various interactions”, he elaborated.
A pre-research team has been established by OPPO to conduct preliminary research on AI-driven 6G network service and technology requirements, key technologies and system features.
To create new immersive experiences while also constantly collecting data to feed more advanced AI models, smart devices, empowered by AI-driven 6G network, will become important participants and users of AI, downloading and deploying AI algorithms at different application levels.
For example, in the case of autonomous vehicles, AI-driven 6G network will be able to assign the most appropriate AI algorithm and the optimal communication connection based on the location of the vehicle and the current physical environment.
To allow the vehicle to provide the safest and most comfortable journey for the passenger, the vehicle will be able to immediately download and run AI algorithms that have been trained by countless other vehicles and devices.
Under the proposed AI-driven 6G network, 6G devices will be allocated to an AI domain-based on the location and requirements of the device.
To deliver the desired services while providing the most optimal communication connection to carry out the relevant tasks, this AI domain will then issue the most suitable AI algorithm and tasks needed.
“Unlike 4G and 5G networks, the AI used for inferring and decision making in 6G networks will be organically integrated on the device side and the network side, with the device assuming a more important role”, the OPPO research team said.
