One of the device vendors from China, ZTE said that they
have successfully developed a new breakthroughs of algorithm technology called
MUSA (Multi-Users Shared Access), which is claimed to process the overload
capacity up to three times in a wireless network.
MUSA is a breakthrough that's developed in a project named
'Pre5G.' This project uses the 5G-ready technology to provide commercial 4G LTE
network to the end users with 5G access experience.
Despite the research is still ongoing, but the MUSA
algorithm is claimed can give an increase of 200% in processing the overload in
the future, which is claimed to be very important in facing the internet
explosion where all things are now integrated into the technology.
The reason why ZTE is using the Pre5G name is because this
vendor uses the available 4G/LTE equipments, but with lower latency and higher
process. In addition, the standard for 5G hasn't been determined. With Pre5G,
the end users can take advantage of MUSA algorithm faster than the 5G
commercial technology that's likely will be released in the next five years.
Xiang Jiying, the Chief Scientist of ZTE said "The
Pre5G solution will help operators exponentially enhance the access rate and
overall network capacity by leveraging existing resources in the next 3–5
years. Before standardization of 5G technologies, this solution can effectively
mitigate the challenges of data traffic surge, and help operators seize market
opportunities and achieve better business development."
In the United States, ZTE is one of the largest
telecommunication switchgear manufacturers that compete with other vendors such
as Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei, in getting a leading role in the development and
definition of 5G wireless technology.
In March 2015 ZTE had demonstrated the service flow in
cooperation with China Mobile at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 in Barcelona.
And in the same month, ZTE was towed by Deutsche Telekom in organizing the NGMN
Industry Conference and Exhibition event in Frankfurt, Germany.
