5G has been in commercial use for four years, and now it is continuing to advance in depth, and the 5G standard will continue to play an important guiding role in this process. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four departments jointly issued the implementation Plan of the New Industry Standardization pilot Project (2023 ─ 2035), proposing to comprehensively promote the construction of a standard system for emerging industries. In terms of the 5G standard, it revised the 5G core network, base stations and terminal equipment standards for 5G enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), highly reliable low-delay communications (uRLLC), and high-speed Dalian Internet of things. Develop 5G evolution (5G-A) technical standards for vertical industry, such as non-terrestrial network, new passive connection of things, communication and perception integration. Develop 5G application and safety standards for industrial, medical, electric power, mining and other key industries.

5G standardization itself is also a process of continuous progress. Li Yan, vice president of technical standards of Qualcomm, introduced at a recent media communication conference that 5G standard established the basic framework in Release 15 version, added industry applications in Release 16, and began deep expansion of various industries at 17:00 in Release, such as car networking, satellites, and network enhancements. In Release 18, the 5G standard will be further expanded to other areas, especially in the satellite field. Starting from Release 18, we will also enter the standard development stage of 5G Advanced.

From the current Release 15, 16, 17 to the future Release 18, 19, 20, these are 5G standard versions developed by the 3GPP organization. 3GPP is a standardization body established in December 1998 to continuously promote the development of global standards for cellular communication technology. Li Yan said that the workflow of 3GPP is a systematic process, which first sorts out the problems to be solved, and then acts separately, such as assigning specific work to various parts such as access, coding, signaling, core network, security, and so on, each of which is led by one or two responsible persons, and then the person in charge of each sub-task organizes the discussion, and summarizes the consensus reached after the discussion and reports to the plenum. After the approval of the plenum, it will be integrated into Release for release. The problems or needs to be solved are not imagined. In the past, these needs came more from traditional telecom operators, and to the 5G era, they included the needs of operators and many industries.

Li Yan said, for example, that LAA (Licensing Auxiliary access) is an idea put forward by Qualcomm based on the needs of operators to meet the growing bandwidth demand through license-free spectrum. However, many people did not think about it or were skeptical about it at that time. To this end, Qualcomm helped the industry understand and convince the industry of the importance and feasibility of the project by holding various forums, lectures and workshops, and conducted trials at MWC (World Mobile Communications Congress), including Wi-Fi coexistence demonstration, LAA demonstration, enhanced LAA demonstration, etc., while also working with operators to conduct experiments, and finally implemented on the product. This technology has also been proved to be successful and has been incorporated into the LTE standard Release 13. In the 5G era, the technology has been further evolved and renamed 5G NR-U, which can not only increase 5G bandwidth by using license-free spectrum on the basis of LTE LAA, but also achieve independent deployment without any licensed spectrum, thus benefiting a wider range of industrial ecological partners such as telecom operators and 5G enterprise private network operators. Li Yan said that this also reflects Qualcomm's influence and leadership on the industry: Qualcomm can not only raise new problems, but also lead people to overcome difficulties, solve problems and make them a standard and an industry. This can be called real influence.

While actively promoting 5G standardization, Qualcomm also cooperates deeply with industrial partners to promote the expansion of 5G applications to many industries. Especially in China, Qualcomm has carried out many 5G application lighthouse projects in cooperation with the industry and the government. For example, in 2021, Qualcomm joined hands with Wuxi Health Statistics Center, Wuxi first Aid Center and Wuxi Mobile to build a 5G intelligent first aid system. By configuring the 5G intelligent network device equipped with Snapdragon X55 on the new ambulance, the patient's vital signs, vehicle OBD and on-site audio and video data can be transmitted directly to the data center through the 5G first aid special network, and the treatment hospital can obtain information in real time. Make a rescue plan in advance. According to the statistics of medical experts, the 5G intelligent first aid system can save more than 15 minutes of golden treatment time for patients with chest pain. In terms of industrial Internet, Qualcomm cooperated with China Industrial Internet Research Institute, Kone Elevator, China Telecom, Mobile Communications, etc., to upgrade the 5G enabling intelligent manufacturing industry for Kone Elevator Suzhou Factory, realize the production management application based on 5G industrial Internet platform, and promote the digital transformation and upgrading of 5G enabling manufacturing industry. Li Yan said that these projects have received very good feedback and believe that more can be done in the future.

In the 5G era, 3GPP ushered in more member enterprises, including automobile manufacturers, satellite manufacturers, broadcasters and so on, forming a more complete ecology and making their own contributions to the formulation and evolution of 5G standards. Li Yan believes that the influence of evaluation criteria should not only look at the number of patents obtained, or how many patents have been included in the standards, but also pay more attention to which technologies and functions have been really applied by the industry. what specific contributions have been made to the industry? Therefore, Qualcomm is more concerned about how to promote the landing application of technology and reflect the value of technology in the process of promoting its landing. Can not land can not bring real value, only landing in order to create value for the ecology, in order to form the influence in the industry.
