spectrum utilisation using multi-band integration and other innovative technologies to achieve 10-fold spectral efficiency improvement .
Trend 8 : Generalized Multi- Antenna for Reduced Per-Bit Cost Per-bit data transmission costs will be reduced as multi-antenna technologies begin to be applied to every spectrum band and every scenario . Ultra-wideband modular antennas will support flexible combinations of multiple bands and intelligent reflecting surfaces will apply multi-antenna technologies in more scenarios to enable cloud-based , higherperformance deployment .
Trend 9 : Security as the Cornerstone for a Digital Future Intrinsic device security and intelligent and simplified security at the network layer will become increasingly important as network security and resilience come more into the global spotlight . Operators will need to provide these kinds of simplified security services via cloud-network synergy for their industry customers to promote digital transformation .
Trend 10 : Mobile Computing Network for Device-Pipe-Cloud Collaboration Future mobile networks will support more diverse services , such as the Metaverse , industrial field networks , and vehicleto-everything ( V2X ) communications . This means that computing will need to be integrated with mobile networks to provide uninterrupted , high-quality services on demand as a single service model will be insufficient for building new digital platforms .
