Abstract

As a novel form of infrastructure, 6G is poised to become an indispensable component of the future digital economy and serves as a solid guarantee for the development of human society. Given that technological innovation inherently possesses purpose and direction, its progress cannot be divorced from the correct value orientation. However, scholarly attention towards investigating the value proposition of 6G remains limited. Establishing a scientific and rational value system assumes paramount importance in shaping future investments and deployments of 6G and fostering advancements in associated technologies. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the value proposition of 6G, examining it from multiple perspectives including economic, social, ecological, cultural, and strategic dimensions. In addition, we explore the four vertical value dimensions of nation, industry, firm and individual. By integrating the technology life cycle framework into our consideration, we elucidate how value is realized and evolves across different stages. The primary objective of this paper is to enhance comprehension regarding the value of 6G and forthcoming technologies while extensively expounding on the potential contributions of 6G towards future economic and social development.

技术价值如何推动 6G 发展？系统框架的解释

作为一种新型的基础设施，6G 将成为未来数字经济不可或缺的组成部分，成为人类社会发展的坚实保障。技术创新本身具有目的性和方向性，其进步离不开正确的价值导向。然而，学界对 6G 价值取向的研究关注仍然有限。建立科学合理的价值体系，对于塑造未来 6G 的投资和部署以及促进相关技术的进步至关重要。本文对 6G 的价值主张进行了全面分析，从经济、社会、生态、文化和战略等多个角度进行了研究。此外，我们还探讨了国家、行业、企业和个人四个纵向价值维度。通过将技术生命周期框架纳入我们的考虑，我们阐明了价值是如何在不同阶段实现和演变的。本文的主要目的是加深对 6G 和未来技术价值的理解，同时广泛阐述 6G 对未来经济和社会发展的潜在贡献。
