目前,3GPP的6G标准还在不断演进,首个6G标准版本Release 21预计到2029年才最终完成。在此前的阶段里,高通计划不断根据标准的最新进展对这台原型机进行配置和升级,通过这些测试以及与产业伙伴开展的联合验证,积累大量实际经验。
此次在进博会上的全球首展,不仅展示了高通在6G技术研发与验证方面的最新实践,也体现了高通与中国产业伙伴持续携手推进6G技术创新、加速6G迈向未来商用的共同努力。
在今年的世界移动通信大会(MWC)上,高通联合全球将近60家合作伙伴(含近20家中国伙伴),包括运营商、终端企业等,达成了6G发展共识——希望能够推动6G从2029年起逐步走向商用。
从6G能力的角度来讲,它不仅代表着无线通信的迭代,更重要的是,它将面向AI时代的需求,为越来越丰富的AI应用提供支撑。如何用6G网络更好地支持这些新型的应用,是整个行业都在探索的课题。
高通希望通过持续的技术研发和产业合作,推动6G从技术验证一步步走向商用。这台6G终端原型机便承载了非常重要的测试验证任务。
▲今年3月,高通与包括近20家中国生态伙伴在内的多家行业领先合作伙伴达成6G发展共识
在今年3月的MWC期间,高通展示了与全球重要的系统厂家、网络厂家开展的6G射频对准测试。
今年9月,高通和中国移动完成了基于3GPP最新定义射频规范的IoDT测试(互操作性测试)。
简单来讲,IoDT就是不同厂商基于对同一套3GPP技术规范的理解,各自开发设备,然后把这些设备真正连接起来,看它们能不能“听懂彼此的语言”,实现上下行链路互通。
这也是6G从技术研究走向系统化验证非常重要的一步。
除了6G终端原型机,高通还带来了面向6G网络的应用演示——AI Recall,也叫AI记忆。
通过一副智能眼镜,以每秒两帧的频率去拍摄和捕捉周围的物体,然后将这些画面通过手机上传至边缘侧服务器进行AI推理。边缘服务器并不是简单地把这些画面直接记录下来,而是会根据画面中的物体进行语义向量化编码,并支持依据语义的追溯检索。
通过这样的方式,如果寻找一个物体,可以用自然语言问它,它能够查询这个标签,然后在智能眼镜上显示这个物体的具体画面以及时间信息。比如忘了把车钥匙放在哪里了,就可以通过眼镜去做这样的查询。
如果在端侧完成这样的任务,因为受限于端侧的推理能力,它能够识别的物体和识别的速度是比较有限的。但如果能够结合端侧和边缘侧的算力,区别非常显著。
去年年底,高通和中兴通讯在他们的西安实验室里进行全球首批6G射频对准IoDT测试。从测试的参数配置上,这台原型机使用了400兆下行带宽和400兆上行带宽,下行比目前5G频谱的带宽大4倍,下行速率也有非常明显的提升,峰值速率约为14G。
除了这种用连线方式做的射频校准测试,高通逐步也会进入到OTA阶段,也就是开展空口测试。
值得一提的是,最近,高通也在完成IMT-2030推进组测试阶段的项目,其中包括和中兴的原型机合作项目,以及AI记忆演示。
除6G终端原型机外,今年高通展台还将集中呈现从个人AI到物理AI不断拓展的生态创新成果,包括最新旗舰智能手机、AI PC、智能体设备、智能眼镜、汽车和机器人等多元智能终端,以及AI影像、XR等互动体验。
结语:连续九年参展,与中国伙伴拓展合作
从5G商用到智能体AI走向现实,再到面向未来的AI原生6G,高通通过丰富的技术展示和生态合作,呈现智能计算向更多终端、场景和行业加速拓展的图景。
连续九年参展,体现了高通对中国市场发展机遇的长期信心。伴随技术和产业不断演进,高通与中国合作伙伴持续拓展合作领域,发挥各自优势,推动创新成果落地,共同创造长期产业价值。
未来,高通计划继续依托进博会这一开放平台,加强与各界交流,了解产业需求,与中国合作伙伴一同推动智能计算向更广泛的终端、场景和行业拓展。

On 6 November, Ji-Jin reported that the ninth China International Import Fair had opened today and that it would be the ninth year in a row. This year, during the year, Takatung focused on “Making smart computing everywhere” and worked with partners to showcase the 6G terminal prototype, AI agent AI front applications and multiple intelligence terminals.
After more than 40 years of its existence and more than 30 years of development in China, Takatung has continuously invested in the development of basic technologies such as connectivity, high-performance low-energy computing and AI, and joined partners to promote innovation and development in the areas of smartphones, PC, automobiles, extended reality and goods networking. For nine years, since the inaugural Expo in 2018, he has participated in a continuous demonstration of cutting-edge technologies and innovations in cooperation with China ' s ecological partners.
Since the inaugural session, he has participated in the annual exhibition as promised. This is not only a trip to China, but also a journey towards innovation and growth with China's industrial partners.” From the presentation of the 5G prototype at the first Expo to the presentation of the 5G commercial results with Chinese partners, to the emergence of multiple smart terminals such as Ai mobile phones, AI PC, cars and so forth, we have witnessed the process of accelerating commercialization from 5G to 5G linking technology to artificial intelligence (AI). In this process, Expo also serves as an important platform for a deeper exchange of global innovation and China's industrial development needs and for the emergence of collaborative results.”
One of the highlights of this year ' s Hightower stand was the first global prototype 6G terminal, which met the latest definition of 3GP, to be released from the laboratory and made available in-kind at large global fairs.
As an important testing validation platform for moving towards 6G commercial, the prototype has been used to combine 6G technical testing and interoperability certification, including with Chinese industry partners such as China's mobile, Chinese communications.
For the first time, the first global 6G terminal prototype meeting the latest 3GP definition was presented publicly at the Expo.
Currently, the 6G standard of 3GP is evolving and the first 6G version of Release 21 is not expected to be finalized until 2029. During the previous phase, the Project continued to configure and upgrade the prototype in the light of the latest developments in the standards, through which a great deal of practical experience was accumulated and tested jointly with industry partners.
The global premiere at the Expo demonstrated not only the latest practices of Chase in the development and validation of 6G technology, but also the joint efforts of Chase and China’s industry partners to move forward with 6G technological innovation and accelerate 6G’s progress towards future business.
At this year’s World Conference on Mobile Communications (MWC), nearly 60 partners (including nearly 20 Chinese partners) worldwide, including operators, end firms, and so on, reached a 6G development consensus – one that hopefully will move the 6G from 2029 to business.
From the point of view of 6G capacity, it represents not only the iterative nature of wireless communications, but, more importantly, it will be geared to the needs of the AI era and will support the ever-increasing wealth of AI applications. How to better support these new applications with a 6G network is an issue that is being explored throughout the industry.
Chase hopes to facilitate a step-by-step move from technology validation to commercialization through sustained technological research and development and industrial cooperation. The prototype 6G terminal carries a very important test validation mission.
In March of this year, he reached a 6G development consensus with leading industry partners, including nearly 20 Chinese eco-partners.
During the MWC in March of this year, Chase demonstrated the 6G radio frequency alignment tests conducted with important global system and network manufacturers.
In September this year, Chase and China moved to complete the IoDT test (interoperability test) based on the latest 3GP definition of radio frequency.
In simple terms, IoDT is an understanding among different manufacturers of the same set of 3GP technical specifications to develop their own equipment and then actually connect them to see if they can “understand each other's language” and connect up and down.
It is also a very important step from technical research to systematic validation.
In addition to the prototype 6G terminal, he also brought an application demonstration for the 6G network, AI Recall, also known as AI Memory.
Through a pair of smart glasses, photographing and capturing the surrounding objects at two frames per second, and then uploading these images to the edge server for AI reasoning. The edge servers do not simply record these images directly, but do semantically code to quantization based on the object in the image and support semanticly-based retrospective searches.
In this way, if an object is found, it can be asked in natural language, and it can search for the label and then display a specific image of the object and time information on the smart glasses. For example, if you forget where you left the car keys, you can do this through your glasses.
If such a mission is carried out on the end side, because of its ability to reason on the end side, its ability to identify objects and the speed of identification is limited. But the difference is very significant if it combines end and edge calculations.
At the end of last year, Takahtung and Chinhing were conducting the first global IoDT test at their Sian laboratory. From the configuration of the parameters tested, the prototype used 400 gigabytes of lower bandwidth and 400 gigabytes of upper bandwidth, which is four times larger than the current bandwidth of the 5G spectrum, with a very significant increase in down speed, with a peak rate of about 14G.
In addition to this radio-frequency calibration test, which is done on a wiring basis, Highcom will gradually move to the OTA phase, i.e., an empty vent test.
It is worth mentioning that recently, Chase is also completing a project for the testing phase of the IMT-2030 propulsion team, which includes a partnership with the Chinese prototype machine and an AI memory demonstration.
In addition to the prototype 6G terminal, this year the Hightower Pavilion will focus on ecological innovations ranging from personal to physical AI, including the latest flagship smartphones, AI PC, AI agent devices, multiple smart terminals such as smart glasses, cars and robots, and interactive experiences such as AI images and XR.
Concluding remarks: nine years in a row, expanding cooperation with Chinese partners
From commercial 5G to AI agent AI to realism, to future-oriented AI 6G, Hightower presents a picture of the accelerated expansion of smart computing to more terminals, scenes and industries through a rich technology demonstration and ecological cooperation.
For nine consecutive years, he had demonstrated long-term confidence in the development opportunities of the Chinese market. As technology and industry continue to evolve, Chase and China ' s partners continue to expand their areas of cooperation, making use of their respective strengths, promoting innovation and creating long-term industrial value.
In the future, it will continue to build on the Open Platform of the Expo, strengthen communication with communities, understand industry needs and, together with Chinese partners, promote the expansion of intelligent computing to a wider range of terminals, scenarios and industries.
