en.Wedoany.com Reported - ZTE, the China Mobile Research Institute, and China Mobile Hubei Company (Hubei Mobile) recently completed a field verification of GigaMIMO (Gigantic Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology based on a 5G-A commercial network. Test results show that this technology, by enhancing deep coordination between 5G-A cells, has made progress in improving network spatial multiplexing capacity and spectrum efficiency, laying a solid technical foundation for the evolution of 5G-A networks toward higher capacity, while also accumulating practical experience for exploring key technologies for 6G.

One of the main lines of mobile communication development is continuously pushing the boundaries of network capacity and user experience. In the 5G era, Massive MIMO technology enabled the systematic utilization of spatial dimension resources, delivering gigabit-level high-speed experiences. As a deep evolution of Massive MIMO, GigaMIMO technology elevates multi-cell collaboration from current joint transmission to a new level of joint beamforming, driving the wireless network communication architecture from a "planar multi-lane" to an "intelligent three-dimensional transportation system," achieving multi-dimensional precise signal reconstruction and deep mining of spatial dimension resource potential. This technological iteration not only improves the efficiency of spectrum resource utilization but will also, in the next step, combine AI capabilities to build a wireless network paradigm that intelligently adapts to complex environments and precisely matches differentiated services.

This verification was conducted at a university in Jiangnan, Wuhan, an area with high user density, heavy service loads, and complex wireless propagation conditions, allowing for a relatively comprehensive assessment of GigaMIMO technology's effectiveness in improving user experience rates and network spectrum efficiency. Field test data show that in areas with overlapping coverage from multiple cells, GigaMIMO technology can effectively enhance the transmission capability of parallel multi-stream data. Compared to conventional multi-user MIMO capabilities in commercial networks, this technology improves spectrum efficiency by over 20%, achieving efficient conversion of interference signals into useful signals. As intelligent technologies further integrate with GigaMIMO technology in the future, the potential for capacity improvement can be further expanded.

This joint verification not only effectively validates GigaMIMO technology but also clarifies the future evolution direction of the industry. With continued in-depth research into GigaMIMO-related technologies, its core achievements will continue to support the development of 5G-A commercial networks and the evolution of 6G networks, further unleashing network potential and providing support for advancing the construction of Digital China.
