Work has now begun on the sixth generation of cellular technologies (`6G`) and cost-efficient global broadband coverage is already becoming a key pillar. Indeed, we are still far from providing universal and affordable broadband connectivity, despite this being a key part of the Sustainable Development Goals (Target 9.c). Currently, both Mobile Network Operators and governments still require independent analysis of the strategies that can help achieve this target with the cellular technologies available (4G and 5G). Therefore, this paper provides quantitative evidence which demonstrates how current 5G policy affects universal broadband, as well as drawing conclusions over how decisions made now affect future evolution to 6G. Using a method based on an open-source techno-economic codebase, combining remote sensing with least-cost network algorithms, performance analytics are provided for different 4G and 5G universal broadband strategies. As an example, the assessment approach is applied to India, the world`s second-largest mobile market and a country with notoriously high spectrum prices. The results demonstrate the trade-offs between technological decisions. This includes demonstrating how important current infrastructure policy is, particularly given fiber backhaul will be essential for delivering 6G quality of service. We find that by eliminating the spectrum licensing costs, full 5G population coverage can viably be achieved using fiber backhaul. In conclusion, supportive 5G infrastructure policies are essential in providing a superior foundation for evolution to 6G.

支持性5G基础设施政策对于通用6G至关重要:来自使用遥感技术的开源技术经济模拟模型的证据

第六代蜂窝技术(“ 6G”)的工作现已开始,具有成本效益的全球宽带覆盖范围已成为关键支柱。的确,尽管这是可持续发展目标(目标9.c)的关键组成部分,但我们仍然无法提供通用且负担得起的宽带连接。当前,移动网络运营商和政府仍然需要对策略进行独立分析,以利用可用的蜂窝技术(4G和5G)帮助实现该目标。因此,本文提供了定量的证据,可以证明当前的5G政策如何影响通用宽带,并就现在做出的决定如何影响未来向6G的演进得出结论。使用基于开源技术经济代码库的方法,将遥感技术与成本最低的网络算法相结合,针对不同的4G和5G通用宽带策略提供了性能分析。例如,评估方法适用于印度,世界第二大移动市场以及一个频谱价格高昂的国家。结果表明了技术决策之间的权衡。这包括证明当前基础架构政策的重要性,特别是考虑到光纤回程对于提供6G服务质量至关重要。我们发现,通过消除频谱许可成本,可以使用光纤回程切实实现5G人口覆盖。总之,支持性的5G基础设施政策对于为向6G演进提供卓越的基础至关重要。该评估方法适用于印度,世界第二大移动市场和频谱价格高昂的国家。结果表明了技术决策之间的权衡。这包括证明当前基础架构政策的重要性,特别是考虑到光纤回程对于提供6G服务质量至关重要。我们发现,通过消除频谱许可成本,可以使用光纤回程切实实现5G人口覆盖。总之,支持性的5G基础设施政策对于为向6G演进提供卓越的基础至关重要。该评估方法适用于印度,世界第二大移动市场和频谱价格高昂的国家。结果表明了技术决策之间的权衡。这包括证明当前基础架构政策的重要性,特别是考虑到光纤回程对于提供6G服务质量至关重要。我们发现,通过消除频谱许可成本,可以使用光纤回程切实实现5G人口覆盖。总之,支持性的5G基础设施政策对于为向6G演进提供卓越的基础至关重要。这包括证明当前基础架构政策的重要性,特别是考虑到光纤回程对于提供6G服务质量至关重要。我们发现,通过消除频谱许可成本,可以使用光纤回程切实实现5G人口覆盖。总之,支持性的5G基础设施政策对于为向6G演进提供卓越的基础至关重要。这包括证明当前基础架构政策的重要性,特别是考虑到光纤回程对于提供6G服务质量至关重要。我们发现,通过消除频谱许可成本,可以使用光纤回程切实实现5G人口覆盖。总之,支持性的5G基础设施政策对于为向6G演进提供卓越的基础至关重要。
