BEYOND 5G / 6G concept that Mr. Yukawa of Softbank says

"Challenge of architecture"

　Currently, data communication for mobile uses Internet technology.This is the mechanism of "packet exchange", and one line is shared with multiple services and applications.

　The data is divided into a small cohesion called "packet", and by passing the packet through a common line, everyone can share one line.However, the performance of communication depends on the degree of congestion.

　Mobile phone services, on the other hand, have grown with the technique of "line exchange" that contradicted the above -mentioned packet exchange.A dedicated line is provided for the caller and the speaker, enabling communication quality.

　And SoftBank aims for a difficult "communication quality guarantee" in the Internet world.This is a matter of 50 years, and it is difficult to guarantee quality in the Internet world consisting of multiple businesses, including mediation between businesses.

　The key is the edge computing, a technology of the 5G era.Normally, a low -delay process is realized by placing a server in the cloud in a position (edge) close to the terminal.

　And since this edge is in the SoftBank network, it is possible to establish a concept of quality assurance as a single business.

　In addition, the network slicing, which is a concept of 5G, divides one network and customizes various use cases.Mr. Yukawa emphasizes that this can provide a network that is more subdivided in 6G and can support various industries.

　Mr. Yukawa also touched on the "API of infrastructure requests" to make the service easier to use and the AI network that dynamically moved the network, and wanted to provide innovative infrastructure to various industries.。
