The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communications Industry" to deploy 6G technology research and development and improve the resilience of the industrial chain.

On September 7, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Information and Communications Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan").

The "Plan" proposes to deploy the world's leading network facilities; launch 6G commercialization in a timely manner; accelerate the research and development of 6G core technology and continue to conduct 6G technology trials; develop 6G base stations, core network and other equipment and 6G smartphones to enhance the resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain.

In terms of 6G technology research and development, the "Plan" focuses on deploying:

1. Research key 6G technologies

Systematically carry out research on key 6G technologies such as wireless, network, and security. Strengthen key network technologies such as network-native AI, synaesthesia and intelligent computing integration, token communication, and data services, as well as key wireless communication technology research such as ultra-large-scale antennas, synaesthesia integration, satellite-ground integration, AI, energy conservation, collaborative sharing of high, medium, and low-orbit spectrum, and satellite-ground spectrum sharing.

2. Promote the development of 6G standards

Encourage the industry to actively participate in the formulation of 6G international standards. Rely on industry standardization associations to build a 6G standard system that meets application needs and industry capabilities.

3. Carry out 6G technology trials

Relying on the IMT-2030 (6G) promotion group, we will develop and build a testing and verification platform that meets the needs of the entire chain and all links of the 6G technology industry, support domestic and foreign units in joint research, joint debugging and testing, and promote industry maturity and ecological construction.

In terms of enhancing the resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain, the "Plan" proposes:

Develop 6G base stations, core network and other equipment, strengthen the development of equipment and systems such as intelligent optical transmission and optical access equipment, high-performance AI routers and network switches, and make breakthroughs in satellite-based communication equipment.

Develop 6G smartphones, develop operating systems based on open source Hongmeng and other technologies that support intelligent communication, environmental sensing and other functions, and enrich the application software ecosystem. Promote the collaborative optimization of new terminals and communication networks such as smart glasses, smart home hubs, and brain-computer interfaces.
