5G technology is a catalyst that will transform many aspects in the design and development of intelligent manufacturing. This book first traces the history and development of manufacturing, landmarked by four industrial revolutions before focusing on the characteristics, product performance, key technologies, and network requirements of intelligent manufacturing. More intelligent, flexible, service-oriented and high-end manufacturing industry is made possible and underpinned by 5G technology. Nevertheless, the introduction to 5G also brings new consideration in terms of data, platform, network, and security. Finally, to illustrate 5G technology in real life, the book presents industrial AR/VR application, cloud industrial robot, full cycle customized production, intelligent resource allocation, upstream and downstream collaborative design, etc.
5G is becoming a critically important supporting technology for industrial evolvement.The World of 5G series consists of five salient volumes — Internet of Everything, Intelligent Manufacturing, Intelligent Home, Intelligent Transportation, and Intelligent Medicine.Aim to capture new opportunities brought by 5G, this compendium set focuses on the key technologies, requirements, users' experiences, industry applications, and industrial reforms from the perspective of experts, and comprehensively introduces the related knowledge of 5G.These reference volumes inform readers the essences of 5G, potential changes to the development of public life and society brought by 5G, as well as the potential security and risks such as the legal, moral and ethical aspects.The set also prominently reflects the latest business status in different industrial and social fields, and the great changes that follow.
Each major technological innovation will open up a new era for human transportation. The closer integration of 5G technology with AI, Big Data, Cloud Computing, and IOT serves as a catalyst to many technological innovations.This book looks at these innovations underpinned by 5G technology to enable the transportation system to be smart and intelligent, and how these new innovations will help to shape transportation system in the future.
As the latest generation of cellular mobile communication technology, 5G is characterized by high speed, low delay, wide bandwidth and high reliability. Compared with 4G, the peak rate of 5G has increased by at less 30 times over, the user experience rate by 10 times, the spectrum efficiency by 3 times, the connection density by 10 times, and the wireless interface delay has been reduced by 90%. With the application of 5G technology, not only will the mobile communication and Internet industry be changed dramatically, but so will the medical field.This book focuses on the integration of 5G with medicine, including the advantages of smart medicine in comparison with traditional medicine, how 5G promotes the development of smart medicine, and the integration of 5G smart medical terminals with new medical applications. Readers will gain insight into the great potentials brought by new technologies in the medical world and also the benefits of better healthcare services brought by advances in the 5G technology.
This book describes the evolution of the intelligent home wired up with 5G technologies supported by Internet of Things (IoT) in the intelligent smart home to integrate most home appliances such as HD TV, home security, and home network equipment into one central hub.
5th Generation (5G) technology has been regarded as a critically important supporting technology for industrial evolution. This book begins by tracing the development of 5G mobile communication, including the characteristics and limitations of different editions.It then covers the technical characteristics of 5G and its possible potential applications in every aspect of our lives, as well as projections of lives after 5G.Further to the technical introduction, the authors also look into the social domination of 5G technology and its implications.
Since the 1980s, mobile communication has undergone major transitions from 1G to 4G, at a rate of roughly one generation per decade. And the next upgrade is set to come soon, with 5G heralding a new era of large-bandwidth Internet, and a multi-connection, low-latency Internet of Everything. 5G technology will be the standard for next-generation mobile Internet, and it will not only enhance the individual user’s experience, but also provide technical support for artificial-intelligence-based applications, such as smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, smart government, smart cities and driverless cars. As a result, 5G is regarded as the “infrastructure” of the industrial Internet and artificial intelligence and both China and the United States are striving to become the 5G leader and spearhead this new generation of international mobile communication standards. Though trade tensions between China and the United States continue to escalate, with products ranging from soybeans to mobile phones and automobiles being affected, 5G technology may be the true cause of trade wars between the world’s top two economies. In short, 5G will change not only society, but also international trade patterns. This book describes various 5G scenarios, changes and values; explains the standards, technologies and development directions behind 5G; and explores new models, new formats and new trends in 5G-based artificial intelligence.
