‟ 5G, mobile cloud, and wireless intelligence are combining to provide powerful network capabilities with flexible and agile network architecture that can be efficiently managed. Wireless Tech in action To deploy massive indoor small cells, automated and simple operations are a must.  Huawei’s new intelligent LampSite solution can greatly shorten deployment duration through self- configuration and self-awareness.   At the same time, it can also enhance user experience by surrounding traffic detection and the automated optimization of cell configuration such as cell splitting and cell merging to simplify operations.   In the future, with the development of automated capabilities, the network can continuously enhance operating efficiency and make things simple.  MM is a typical product in the 5G era with powerful capabilities and flexible configuration in various scenarios.  To achieve the best network performance, our wireless intelligence pattern tuning solution can adaptively select the most suitable parameter combination. For example, if a sports event is happening, most people are probably in concreted areas. MM would adaptively change to a narrower beam to improve capacity and respond to the number of users. After the event finishes, it will change back to wide beam to improve coverage.   In addition, mobile networks also have the capability for self-learning to understand which patterns have better KPIs and user experience, so eventually the network can achieve best performance by running on the best configuration. The next phase of wireless intelligence is to explore more possibilities with big data and machine learning. We can logically split each cell into thousands of virtual grids and each grid can store all wireless parameter data from the control plane, user plane, and management plane, both in real-time and also from historical data. With all this data, networks can understand real scenarios more accurately and network resources can be used more efficiently. The wireless intelligence solution for smart carrier aggregation ensures the device is always on the best carriers with multi-dimension input.  And that’s just the beginning. We’re linking more data and characteristics into virtual grids to build a unique network fingerprint. We can thus imagine new capabilities and applications. For example, as hotspots become less predictable, wireless intelligence can automatically predict a possible instant hotspot and call for a new mobile site, such as UAV, to set up, self-configure, and self-optimize with the whole wireless network, thus meeting traffic requirements in advance. That’s an intelligent network.    Another case in the near future, is achieving a sub-meter level positioning with a unique network fingerprint to achieve 10 times greater accuracy than GPS, both indoors and outdoors, which will enable new applications such as interactive mobile gaming with AR. Our understanding of wireless intelligence is just starting. But, we will step up R&D investment to bring more innovation to our customers. I believe this intelligent brain will make our wireless networks smarter, more flexible, agile, and efficient, and it will far exceed our expectations of the future. 5G, mobile cloud, and wireless intelligence are combining to provide powerful network capabilities with flexible and agile network architecture that can be efficiently managed. This will help operators achieve more commercial success, with “Everyone on Mobile, Everything with Wireless, and Every Industry plus Wireless”. 35
