China Information Technology Group's Achievements in Satellite-Ground Convergence and 6G
TapTechNews August 22 news, on August 15, China Information Technology Group disclosed to the outside world that at the recent plenary session of the 13th Research Group of the International Telecommunication Union (referred to as ITU-TSG13) in Geneva, Switzerland, the ITU-T Y.3208 Fixed, Mobile and Satellite Convergence - Session Management in IMT-2020 and Beyond Networks for Satellite Backhaul led by the group successfully closed.
This standard regulates the session management mechanism in the satellite backhaul scenario of the satellite-ground convergence network. Satellite backhaul is a typical satellite application scenario proposed by ITU, which plays an important role in expanding the communication coverage area, enhancing the emergency communication capacity, supporting diversified application scenarios, promoting technological progress and industrial upgrading, and meeting future communication needs. The session management of the satellite backhaul network is mainly to select the appropriate satellite backhaul network type according to the business needs, and at the same time formulate the appropriate quality of service level for the session according to the satellite backhaul network type. No matter on an airplane or an ocean-going cruise ship, users can make calls freely and surf the Internet at high speed.
In addition, China Information Technology Group led the completion of the project Y.FMSC-MR Fixed, Mobile and Satellite Convergence - Mobile Relay in IMT-2020 and Beyond Networks立项, and plans to be officially released in 2026. This standard is for the satellite-ground convergence network scenario to achieve flexible networking through mobile relay technology, which helps to optimize the network architecture and improve the efficiency of resource utilization.
China Information Technology Group introduced that full-area coverage is one of the important visions of the 6G network. 6G satellite-ground convergence will be the convergence of multiple heterogeneous networks such as satellite networks and terrestrial mobile communication networks. Through in-depth integration in several aspects such as business integration, architecture integration, platform integration, terminal integration, and management integration, three-dimensional networking of 6G is achieved.
China Information Technology Group and its subsidiary CICT Mobile have conducted in-depth research in the direction of the satellite-ground convergence network architecture and key technologies, and are committed to solving the problem of direct mobile phone connection to the satellite-ground convergence communication network through unified network architecture, unified air interface protocol, and unified spectrum planning and management, to ensure that in the 6G stage, mobile phone users can switch seamlessly between terrestrial access and satellite access.
TapTechNews learned from publicly available information that China Information and Communication Technology Group Co., Ltd. is jointly reorganized by the former Wuhan Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications (FiberHome Technology Group) and the former Telecommunication Science and Technology Research Institute (Datang Telecom Group). It is a central enterprise directly under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. The company has a registered capital of 30 billion yuan, total assets of more than 100 billion yuan, and 35,000 employees. The group headquarters is located in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
The off icial website of China Information Technology Group shows that the company is the birthplace of optical communication in China and one of the main proposers of the international standard for mobile communication with core intellectual property rights.
