PRESS RELEASE: On May 24th, 2024, Anhui Mobile, in partnership with Huawei, has taken the lead in accomplishing the pilot commercial verification of the built-in intelligence for large-scale 5G-A base stations in Hefei, Anhui. The year 2024 ushers in the era of 5G-A commercialization. As one of the initial 100 cities to roll out commercial 5G-A networks, Hefei is actively capitalizing on the built-in intelligence technology of 5G-A base stations to foster high-quality productive forces. Anhui Mobile has installed 5G-A base station intelligent service processing units (hereinafter abbreviated as intelligent units) across a contiguous area of 50 stations and has successfully validated the capabilities of these intelligent units in terms of optimizing user experience and enhancing energy efficiency. Field tests have demonstrated that the latency of short videos for users has been reduced by 10.4%, the proportion of high-definition live broadcasts has risen by 13.5%, and the power consumption of base stations has dropped by 10.8%.
Anhui Mobile has deployed intelligent units in the Sanli’an commercial district of Hefei. This district houses high-end shopping malls, hospitals, and universities, attracting a large influx of people and presenting complex service scenarios. The intelligent units possess the remarkable ability to identify services within milliseconds and offer differential safeguards for prevalent services in the existing network like short videos and live broadcasts. In the test area, the latency of short videos has declined by 10.4%, and the share of high-definition upstream live broadcasts has climbed by 13.5%. These differential service safeguards not only enhance the high-definition experience of services but also boost regional traffic by 4.3%, thereby realizing intelligent optimization of network experience. Concurrently, while ensuring service quality, the intelligent units can forecast service demands and generate transmission maps in tandem with the intelligent power consumption management of base stations. Through multidimensional decision-making across the time, frequency, spatial, and power domains, they strike a balance between superior user experience and energy conservation. The power consumption of base stations has been slashed by 10.8%, translating into an average daily savings of approximately 4 degrees per station, thus attaining intelligent green energy efficiency.
Building on the current verification achievements, Anhui Mobile, in concert with Huawei, will persist in exploring innovative applications of 5G-A base station built-in intelligence in areas such as enabling new services, streamlining network optimization, constructing high-quality networks, and safeguarding VIP users. This endeavor aims to further augment the perception of Anhui Mobile’s 5G users and contribute to the intelligent transformation and digital upgrading drive.
