Transforming Mobile AI Era with 5G-Advanced and Intelligent Core Networks

Introduction

The mobile landscape is on the cusp of a groundbreaking transformation as 5G-Advanced technology converges with artificial intelligence (AI). This evolution is set to redefine not only mobile connectivity but also the overall user experience, making it smarter and more efficient than ever before. As the world looks towards a future brimming with possibilities, the integration of these technologies reveals a robust framework for a smarter society that thrives on innovation.

The Rise of Mobile AI

The year 2024 marked a significant milestone with the first commercial deployment of 5G-Advanced, particularly in regions such as China, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific. By 2025, the intelligent central network powered by 5G-A will harness three pivotal forms of intelligence: service intelligence, network intelligence, and operational and maintenance intelligence. This development allows telecommunications operators to leverage emerging opportunities, redefine operational models, and enhance the monetization of network services.

Innovations in Smart Services

One of the most impactful changes brought by this technological merger is the introduction of smart services. Prominent among these is the innovative New Calling technology, featuring an intelligent calling agent that transforms audio and video calls into interactive experiences. By utilizing the network's computational power and bandwidth, it enables ultra-HD quality while seamlessly integrating AI to optimize the user experience. In China, over 40 million users have already benefited from this advancement, realizing improved calling experiences across the network.

In addition, the AI Home Hub is revolutionizing in-home services by combining AI capabilities with processing power to offer unified smart home services. Launched commercially in Beijing and Jilin in 2024, this hub is set for a broader rollout across more than 20 Chinese provinces by 2025. Families will experience advanced computing for various home services, creating a truly integrated environment.

Enhancing Network Intelligence

The evolution of network intelligence is equally significant. Utilizing an intelligence framework based on NWDAF, operators gain real-time insights into user experiences, optimizations, and support mechanisms. Dynamic resource allocation means that operators can adjust network usage fluidly, enhancing overall efficiency. Specific experiences can also be tailored for distinct service types — be it live streaming, cloud gaming, or online conferencing. Examples of commercial solutions include the Intelligent Personalized Experience (IPE) and the MyLogo service, which offer customizable interfaces and open avenues for monetization of the personalized user experience.

Intelligent Operations Management

Moreover, operational management is upgraded with innovative components like the MDAF, fostering improved quality and efficiency. In 2024, Huawei successfully integrated such a component into a telecommunications operator's alarm and complaint management system in China, leading to substantial cost savings exceeding 10 million yuan while steering towards autonomous network operations (L4).

Looking Ahead to MWC 2025

The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025, scheduled for March 3-6 in Barcelona, Spain, will spotlight these revolutionary advancements. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore Huawei's cutting-edge solutions and products designed surrounding the intelligent central network powered by 5G-A. The event is poised to push boundaries, inviting partners and innovators alike to collaborate on the next chapter in intelligent networking.

Conclusion

As we stand at the intersection of 5G-Advanced and AI, the possibilities for redefining mobile communication and user experiences are boundless. The fusion of these technologies heralds not just connectivity but a holistic movement towards an intelligent society. Join us at MWC 2025 to witness how these innovations are bringing forth an exciting, interconnected future.
