From the specific network function requirements, the IMT-2020 (5G) propulsion group defines four main application scenarios of 5G: continuous wide coverage, hot spot high capacity, low power consumption and large connection and low delay and high reliability.

Continuous wide area coverage and hot high-capacity scenarios mainly meet the needs of mobile Internet business in the 2020 and future, and are also the main technical scenarios of traditional 4G.

Continuous wide area coverage is the most basic mode of coverage for mobile communication. It aims at ensuring the mobility and continuity of the users, and provides a seamless and high-speed business experience for the users. The main challenge of this scenario is to provide users with more than 100Mbps of user experience rate at any time and anywhere (including the edge of the cell, high-speed mobile and other harsh environments). Hot high-capacity scenes mainly focus on local hot spots, providing users with extremely high data rate and meeting the high traffic density requirement of the network. 1Gbps user experience rate, tens of Gbps peak rates and traffic density requirements of dozens of Tbps/km2 are the main challenges facing the scene.

 

Smart Agriculture - 5G will promote increased use of networked sensor technology in farming/agriculture, from basic water storage facility monitoring to specialized sensors that monitor soil moisture and chemical composition. The use of networked sensor technology in farming/agriculture has increased significantly in the past few years, in part because the price of low-power wide area networks (LPWANs) has fallen to attractive levels, thereby increasing its popularity.

Smart City - This is an area where mobile cellular operators are increasingly interested. Smart cities will provide opportunities for many different types of applications and potentially new business models. Smart cities are a very broad term; some of its key technology applications include lighting, security, energy/utility, physical infrastructure environmental monitoring, and transportation/travel.

Smart Home - 5G can completely change the deployment and service of smart home terminals. It will solve some of the main issues of consumer complaints, such as difficult terminal setup, unreliable equipment, and high latency.

Remote monitoring—mainly industrial automation applications across a wide range of industries. The focus is on using universal sensing to support incremental performance improvements and preventative maintenance of equipment. The current solution relies heavily on wired technology and is difficult to retrofit. The potential of 5G is to provide a robust alternative to provide solutions for new and existing equipment.

Universal sensing has many advantages that can be used to prevent security risks such as explosions, leaks, physical monitoring, and sometimes maintenance in unfavorable environments. Universal sensing is also a critical part of preventive maintenance solutions that help reduce downtime and increase efficiency and output.

Beacons and Connected Shopping - Upgrading current retail technologies Using beacons and smart phones to improve the physical store shopping experience, 5G will create the potential not only for retailers, but also for products/brands to be more dynamic with consumers. Interact. In addition, beacons are beginning to gain popularity in industrial applications, and more robust wireless connectivity solutions will be the growth factor for this type of market. At present, beacons mainly use Bluetooth, but in the future, 5G low-power technologies may be used.

Self-driving cars - including broad categories of consumer and business applications. The basic assumption is that 5G will be used to support all forms of vehicle-to-world (V2X), from initially providing a more sophisticated advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) to eventually achieving fully autonomous self-driving cars.

Drones - The widespread use of commercial drones will have the benefit of many industries, including commercial transportation, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and public safety. With the continuous improvement of drone technology, the demand for UAVs from companies and governments will increase.

Industrial Automation - The vast majority of infrastructure on the factory floor will continue to be wired while creating smarter factories, increasing workers, and supporting plant assets. Mobility creates opportunities for large bandwidth and high security wireless solutions , and can be achieved through 5G.

Remote Patient Monitoring / Telemedicine - 5G will reduce the dependence of patients, healthcare professionals and monitoring equipment on different connection strategies. The high image quality of HD allows more and more applications to be realized, including dermatology and wound care.
