Release 18 for 5G-Advanced, built on top of 3GPP Release 15, 16, and 17, is scheduled to have its standards stipulated in 2023, and will continue to develop advanced 5G applications. Preliminary standards for Release 21 of 6G are expected to complete in 2028.
6G wireless communication technology is expected to accomplish global communication coverage, as well as multisensory and online merge offline applications. Various major global communication companies have announced white papers on possible applications and prospect for 6G, and are successively engaging in studies of 6G communication technology, prior to the stipulation of 6G standards.
The Mobile World Congress (MWC 2023) took place in Barcelona, Spain, from February 27 to March 2, 2023. As one of the most influential exhibitions in the global smartphone industry, it attracted numerous Android brands to debut their latest models and present a variety of novel technologies. Reflecting on the exhibits showcased at MWC 2023, manufacturers displayed their advances in smartphone screens, camera performance, and satellite communications, charging, and cooling technologies.
Upon examining the displays at MWC 2023, we can anticipate an increase in the adoption of satellite communication functions in future smartphones. Chinese brands also appear to be laying the groundwork for a high-end presence in the international market.
The IEEE 802.11 working group announced the final specifications for 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), preparing for its commercial applications to commence that year. The transition of Wi-Fi from shared frequencies of Wi-Fi 6’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz to Wi-Fi 7’s simultaneous transmission on 2.4/5/6GHz frequencies will significantly enhance signal transmission efficiency. The Wi-Fi Alliance anticipates that the global Wi-Fi market’s total value will touch US$4.9 trillion by 2025.
Semiconductor, networking, and test manufacturers worldwide have initiated the launch of related products in the early developmental stages of Wi-Fi 7, intending to secure a global market foothold. The low latency and minimal interference of Wi-Fi 7 signals will facilitate fully immersive experiences in VR, AR, and the Metaverse.
