"China's fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) is in a leading position internationally, whether in technology, industry or application." Cao Shumin, party secretary of Beijing university of aeronautics and astronautics and former President of the China academy of information and communications, proudly told reporters that in terms of technology, the number of international standard texts put forward by China accounts for about one-third of the world's total in 5G, and the number of patents held by China is also the first in the world. In terms of industry, China has developed 5G chips, mobile phones, base stations and other key links of the industrial chain earlier in the world, and has put them into production and use. In terms of application, China has made it clear for a long time that it will start 5G commercial use in 2020 and issue 5G license in advance of this year, which is also relatively leading in the world.


"From 1G to 5G, from blank to leading, the fundamental reason for China's achievements in the field of mobile communications today is to adhere to independent innovation." Cao Shumin, reviews the development of China mobile communication technology, gap from 1G, and to follow the 2G, or 3G began to independent innovation, under the condition of the industry foundation is weak, overcome difficulties to finish the TD-SCDMA technology research and development and industrial application, and then to a new generation of dominated the TD - 4G LTE the development of international standards for broadband mobile communication technology and promotion, achieved with the international advanced level of synchronization and run, which for us to achieve 5G lead a higher starting point and basis.


Cao Shumin said that China's achievement in the field of mobile communications is also a typical representative of the new nationwide system of key core technologies under the conditions of market economy. Under the competitive conditions of the open market at home and abroad, all levels of domestic production, learning, research and application work closely together under the leadership of the government to jointly promote scientific and technological innovation in this field. At the same time, China's huge market has greatly promoted the development of mobile communication technology, forming a virtuous cycle of innovation and innovation system in which market applications drive the network, the network drives the whole machine, and the whole machine drives the development of chips and other components.


"In addition, the rapid development of China's mobile communication technology cannot be separated from opportunities in the international environment." Before 2G, there were only regional standards organizations in the world, but after 3G came, international standards organizations such as 3GPP appeared. China was an early member of these organizations, and domestic mobile communication workers were learning and innovating at the same time, making rapid progress, Cao said.
