- China Mobile's Feng Zheng: Fully converged 5G SA core networks are efficient and easy to extend new services and offer new experiences

SHANGHAI, July 19, 2023/PRNewswire/ -- At the 5G SA Industry Roundtable hosted by Huawei on June 27 during MWC Shanghai 2023, Feng Zheng, Group-Level Chief Expert of China Mobile, delivered a speech about China Mobile's experience in building and developing 5G SA core networks. In the speech, he stated that building a fully converged 5G SA network is the optimal option to maximize return on investment (ROI).

In the past, Radio Access Networks (RANs) and core networks were out of sync with each other in terms of standards development, and 5G was the only technology able to bridge the gap between them thanks to its compatibility with NSA networks and SA. Practice and statistics show that 5G NSA networks can lead to heavy investment in 4G networks. This is because these types of networks require 4G and 5G network coverage, and the deployment of 5G NSA networks (option 3) depends on 4G networks. 5G NSA networking also requires high network construction costs due to complex collaboration between 4G eNodeBs and 5G gNodeBs, as well as too intricate network selection for terminals. Therefore, the 5G SA network, which is already ready for commercial use, is the optimal option in terms of ROI.

For 5G SA core network construction, a fully converged core network offers simplified networking, OR

After the construction of the network is complete, it is vital to increase the users of 5G SA and incubate new services so that 5G networks can take over more services from 4G networks. In order to rapidly increase the users of 5G SA, operators need to identify users' multi-mode terminals and their network connection status, in addition to carrying out certain policies. In addition, operators can launch attractive 5G SA packages and offer high-quality service experience to promote the use of 5G function on 5G SA multimode terminals. Thus, the rapid development of SA users will stimulate the growth of ROI of SA networks. To incubate new services, operators should focus on cultivating users' service usage habits and launching attractive service packages, encouraging users to try new high-quality services offered by service providers. In this way, operators can partner with service providers to improve the user experience, accelerate the development of new services and boost social and economic development. The accelerated growth of new services will help increase operator revenue and build a win-win industrial ecosystem.

China Mobile has always actively participated in and promoted the evolution of 3GPP standards to 5G-Advanced, and will remain committed to exploring new capabilities and new services of 5G-Advanced with all parties in the industry, and will spare no efforts to achieve 5G. -Advanced.
