In February 2013, when the 4G communication has just started to promote the business, the EU has announced that it will allocate 50 million euros to accelerate the development of 5G communication technology, and in 2020 as the first year of commercial 5G. Ministry of Industry also previously announced "information and communication industry development plan (2016-2020)" clearly put forward in 2020 to start commercial service 5G, 5G marked the era, we have less than a year from the time. Hundred times the transmission speed of 4G, so many of the imagination is limited by the speed bottleneck seems to have landed possible, in this wave, what the sports industry and whether it will follow to initiate change, this article will begins.
5G of key competencies
from 1G to 4G 1986 years now, people from voice, text, graphics, video, communication needs and then to promote the rapid development of technology. The current 5G show performance has far exceeded our everyday needs, and so beyond the basic human needs of technology, the future will bring to where, left to the entrepreneurs great imagination.
The figure is a continuous development of mobile communications technology evolves schematic diagram of a communication network, for two basic driving forces, higher performance and lower cost. 5G network currently exhibited three major characteristics:
High rate, support rate of 0.1 ~ 1Gbps user experience; and
a great capacity, the number of connections per square kilometer density of one million;
low delay, millisecond end to end delay.
Have such a strong performance, it must have cost than the current 4G network much higher, while the 5G network but on this fish and can not have both problems, gives an elegant answer: Network slices. In simple terms, the network is to slice a physical network, application scenarios cut by more than one virtual networks, each a logically separate slices are available to network resources, when one of these sections failure will not affect other slice.
From 1G to 4G in the realization of the basic needs of users, with huge amounts of data for a new born business needs but often become stretched, and completed the transformation of networks very costly. The 5G precisely in order to adapt to the new applications emerging for us. Although its performance has exceeded the peak in all aspects of people's current needs, but different application scenarios, the demand for performance is not the same. Indulge in the various aspects of network performance commissioning are to the limit, let alone the cost of network equipment operators can not afford to idle network resources is also a great waste.
Slice advantage is that the network allows the network operator to configure their own performance of each slice, such as high-definition video services would need to focus on network speed, wide-area connection density of things to emphasize, so that the performance of 5G network to the limit. Once the scenarios change, but also the relevant sections of network resources be individually adjusted without having to consider the impact on other sections of the network, which saves time and reduces hardware costs, we can say the answer to a perfect balance between efficiency and cost.
Sports industry needs 5G
2017, China's sports market size of 23.1 billion yuan, accounting for only 1.1% of the total value of the sports industry, well below the industry accounted for 25% of the United States. The total industry value of the target of 5 trillion by 2025, the industry accounted for sporting events if you upgrade to the current US equivalent, the 2025 sporting event of industrial scale will reach 1.25 trillion yuan in the past eight years, sports industry needs to increase the size of 50 times the difficulty and pressure is evident.
Live matches is undoubtedly an important part of the sports industry, live in the past is limited by the transmission rate, there are often spectators for 10 seconds, this embarrassing situation cushion a minute, There is also a newsletter to announce results of the competition are published, broadcast but not over high latency problem. To get instant user event information, and sometimes would rather give up the live video in the form of the original text in favor of browsing live, it is a classic example of demand succumb to reality. As the video experience for spectators is not ideal, bought all kinds of events IP copyright side, hopes members pay sales events live mode service has also been considerable constraints. If you want to win one thousand sports industry force in the sport sector, 5G network is essential for a big help.
Physical things
things Briefly, the article is connected to the Internet, data exchange, intelligent network technology enabling to identify, locate, capture, and a series of management functions which can be divided into three structural means of achieving level:
1. perception layer, composed of various sensors and a sensor gateway, equivalent to the human nerve endings, for collecting primary data and Chi sense, is a fundamental part of things;
2. The network layer, can be seen as data transmission channel, for sensing data from a variety of basic bearer network layer through transport to the application layer, which transport a variety of ways, including a mobile communication network, a corporate intranet, a local area network , Wifi, Bluetooth, etc., depending on the application scenario select the appropriate transmission, it is a key factor in the network layer user needs;
3. The application layer, the topmost layer of the structure is located things, the keys are the "process", i.e., data processing by cloud computing platform, and the combined data and industrial applications, all interconnected to achieve a wide range of solutions.
As the sports stadiums and public support physical activity is an important part of the sports industry. And intelligent transformation stadium sports as a sign of wisdom, which is combined with things is essential. Past hardware, taking into account the cost of networking hardware, and network equipment costs to build itself, a lot of hardware is in the form of offline data stored locally, not to mention things. Stadiums Things applications is concentrated on a small number of core processes, such as access control management. The great potential of things, because the cost of the network objective reality has been greatly suppressed, and the emergence 5G is expected to change this situation.
Sports Big Data
in the information technology wave sweeping the world, big data, cloud computing has become a high-frequency words sports industry, reveals the combination of sports and big data remain positive outlet. As the industry focus on the development of the country near the stage, the scale of sports industry in a time of rapid growth, has revealed the increasingly diverse needs of the people and does not match the speed of the adjustment of industrial structure, such as isolated islands of information within the sports industry is still a serious phenomenon, as well as industrial development imbalance, including unbalanced, unbalanced, unbalanced industrial structure of the development of mass sports people and other areas.
These are large data remind us that sports play a huge role in the development of guidelines for the sports industry, Internet-based, data-driven there is huge potential for the core of the wisdom of the sports industry to be excavated.
Sports embrace the wisdom of 5G network
5G high speed and low latency can be the perfect solution to buffering and latency issues to watch the games live, and is expected to support real-time playback of 4K ultra high-definition video streams and even 8K's. By then, in enhanced mobile broadband network 5G slice, users can experience ultra-high-definition live matches smooth and unhindered.
Also the lens is controlled by a live event operations side, the camera switches the user can only passively accept. Then boldly Imagine if the live matches of the camera is able to access the scene of the 5G network, reach tournament scene of the fans can be connected to the venue camera through 5G directly choose different perspectives home team, visiting team, flying cats to watch the game, and create a comprehensive upgrade of the spectator experience.
5G drive sports a wide area of Things
things device under the 5G environment, you can transfer data obtained from the perception layer through 5G base station, and this will undoubtedly greatly reduce the cost of building the network layer of things. No matter the difficulty or network hardware itself the cost of procurement of network equipment resources for intelligent venues will become more friendly, had an offline device that can minimize the cost to achieve things of the venue.
Meanwhile, with the 5G allow wide-area things become possible, perceived rate of accumulation layer data will also appear explosive growth, relying solely on cloud computing application layer services to process vast amounts of data is not enough. This will increase the reverse driving terminal edge is reduced to computing cloud network, various hardware aware layer can take immediate data analysis, processing and application of feedback, the deeper data mining and industrial applications is the ability to calculate more powerful cloud network to complete, simple application of real-time, intelligent application of new depth of things architecture.
5G accelerate the growth of big data sports
WAN networking environment was at 5G provides a wealth of assets accumulated large data, but limited value of the original data itself, only through the analysis of data mining, data from the mass of valuable sports content in order for users, operators, government open more value, to promote change sports industry.
For users, networking equipment can record the whole process of user movement, including track, frequency, habits, consumption, summarize, analyze the data through a large, professional sports and provide recommendations for the user's characteristics, so users know more reasonable and effective motor behavior; the operators through a combination of hardware and software solutions, venue to promote financial transparency, rationalizing the use of space resources, personnel standardized operation. Images important factor in the government data, users and operators of government decision-making will be the direction of development of the sports industry; the ultimate venue information management and data management, eliminate islands of information, human liberation, improve operational efficiency. Based on regional characteristics and requirements to large data source for sports, sports science and health industry to build a closed-loop, and jointly create win one thousand sports brilliant career.
