Competition to secure 5G frequency ``100MHz width’… ‘Uncompleted 5G’ may be caused

[Digital Times, Kim Ji-young] There is a concern that if the auction is overheated in the market, a real 5G implementation may be a problem with the government`s imminent release of 5G mobile frequency (5G) auction schedule.
According to industry sources on April 1, the Ministry of Science and Technology and Information and Communication is in the final stages of deciding the auction unit of the 3.5GHz band of 5G frequencies to be auctioned in June. The 3.5GHz band at the auction was a 300MHz bandwidth of 3.3 ~ 3.6GHz, depending on how the auction unit was divided.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Information and Communication stated that it is considering whether to divide 20 ㎒ into 20 ㎒ or 50 ㎒ or 100 ㎒. In this case, 15 auction items at 3.5GHz will result in a fierce auction battle of three mobile telecommunication companies, and the successful bidder will be able to succeed in winning the tax revenue by raising the winning bid price. If 100 ㎒ shares are divided, there are only three cases, and it is highly likely that the three companies will be divided and the performance of the box office is expected to be low. Therefore, mobile carrier has focused on the decision of the auction unit of the Ministry of Information and Communication. Once the unit is divided into smaller pieces, it is possible that there will be cases where the three YTPs are divided into 120 MHz, 100 MHz and 80 MHz according to the operators according to the auction result.
Some mobile carriers are increasingly voicing concerns that they may not meet the high-speed, broadband, and ultra-low latency requirements of the 5G international standard. We are concerned that the 5G service may not be competitive in the first place.
The International Telecommunication Union has recommended a minimum of 100 MHz for 5G services. We also proposed ultra-high speed, broadband, ultra-low delay, etc. as a criterion for dividing 4G (LTE) and 5G.
On the other hand, 4G has a maximum transmission rate of 1Gbps, while 5G is 20Gbps. The processing delay is 4 ms for 10 ms (milliseconds, one thousandths of a second), while 5 G for ms. the maximum number of device connections is 100,000 in 4G, while 5G is theoretically 1 million. However, failure to secure a 100 MHz bandwidth in a frequency auction may make it difficult to provide the transmission speed, delay, and reach specified by the ITU. In order to block such concerns, some telecom companies claim that they should put the three blocks in 100-MHz-wide auctions in equal parts.
Also, the opinion that the ITU recommendation can be satisfied even if the block auction is made. The ITU states that the sum of the bandwidths for 5G services should be more than 100 ㎒ width, so that not only 3.5 ㎓ but also 28 ㎓ band should be added to 1 ㎓ width. IT specialist who asked for anonymity said, "It is difficult to judge that the ITU standard does not meet the technical standard because it does not secure 100㎒ because it is the target value when the 5G technology is completed. .
The government needs to prepare measures to induce fair competition while taking advantage of the auction system. It is said that 5G also considers a trade-off for limiting the total amount of frequency in order to prevent the situation where the frequency is crowded to a specific business. The Ministry of Information and Communication plans to confirm the frequency auction internally in early April and open a public forum. At this meeting, the draft plan prepared by the Ministry of Information and Communication will collect opinions of academics and industry experts.
