十大跨领域创新方向（英）

Over the past few years, fifth generation (5G) commercialization has accelerated consumption upgrading, production efficiency and social harmony, taking the transformation of digital intellectualization and achieving high-quality development as the main objective. The rapid development of 5G has led to the advancement and integration of big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) as well as other cross fields, such as chips and devices. The deep integration of communication technology (CT) , information technology (IT) and data technology (DT) has become an inevitable trend in the future.

Compared with 5G, cross-domain and interdisciplinary IT (i.e., cross-domain technology supporting or influencing the information and communication development) will accelerate integration in sixth generation (6G) development, and play an important catalyst role. It is expected to break through the key challenges of ultra-large bandwidth, deterministic delay, low power consumption, low cost, high security, easy deployment and operation in the development of 6G, which will promote the society to the “digital twin” and “wisdom ubiquitous”, and truly realize the “Metaverse” where the virtual and real world are integrated and interacted.

Recently, for the traditional information and communication field, China Mobile has released a series of white papers such as the ones,

entitled 2030+ vision and requirement, technology trend, network architecture prospect, etc. The aim of this white paper is to select ten cross-domain innovation directions affecting the development of information and communication in the future according to the blueprints of information and communication technology (ICT) in 2035. The white paper analyzes the related challenges, and calls on the academia and industry for more attention and investment to address these challenges together, in order to ensure the sustainable, healthy and great-leap forward development of the information and communication industry in the future.

The ten cross-domain innovation directions are key areas that might affect the development of information and communication industry in the future from the perspective of China Mobile. They involve terminals, management, cloud, computing, security, low carbon as well as paradigm, which are only for enlightenment,even not comprehensive. It is necessary to keep making calibration and iterative updating during research and exploration with colleagues from academia and industry.
