The Seven Technical Walls of Network Communications and the Primary Exploration of Trends
This paper systematically and roundly proposes the seven"technical walls"of network communications technologies we face after decades of exponential growth of the network bandwidth
number of transistors in the chip and number of software codes
including the"technical wall"of wireless mobile communication
IP data communication
fiber communication
Integrated Circuit(IC)
software complexity
big-data processing and energy consumption.These"technical walls"are relatively independent
interactive and itself-systematic.As you know
it is very difficult to turn over a"wall"
and it is more difficult to turn over the seven"walls"at the same period.This leads us to think strategically and globally.In addition to developing in the original way("the trend is becoming smoother"
"changing growth patterns"
or"using new mode
new theory and new method")
Is there another way to go?Instead of turning to every wall.From the perspective of future development
this path may be Artificial Intelligence(AI)of network communications
will gradually develop for decades or more
from low
intermediate
advanced
to super
so as to compensate for the lack of bandwidth without reaching exponential growth law as a possible way and option.At last paragraph
the network communications may become intelligent and the effect of AI is also given as"network AI body"to solve the operational problem and to greatly raise efficiency uninterruptedly for decades or more.
