Abstract

The development of 5G technology, which is a next-generation communication technology capable of processing large amounts of data in real-time and solving delays, is drawing attention. Not only in the United States but also Korea, 5G is focused on supporting R&D as a national strategic technology. The strategy for the smart factory, one of the core services of the 5G, aims to increase the flexibility of manufacturing production lines. The existing wired communications devices can be replaced into wireless ones with the ultra-low-delay and ultra-high-speed characteristics of 5G. For the efficient development of 5G technology, it is necessary to keep abreast of the status and trend. In this study, based on the collected data of 1517 Korea patents and 1928 US patents, 5G technologies trend was analyzed and key technologies were identified by network analysis and topic modeling. We expect that it will be used for decision making for policy establishment and technology strategy of related industries to provide the trends of technology development related to the introduction of 5G technology to smart factories.

대용량 데이터를 실시간으로 처리할 수 있고 지연 현상을 해소할 수 있는 차세대 통신 기술인 5G 기술 개발이 주목받고 있다. 미국과 다른 여러 나라뿐만 아니라 우리나라에서도 국가전략기술로 삼아 관련 연구 개발을 중점적으로 지원하고 있다. 5G 발전전략의 핵심 서비스 중 하나로 스마트공장이 제시되었으며, 제조 생산 라인의 유연성을 높이는 것을 목표로 한다. 기존 유선 기반의 설비를 5G의 초저지연, 초고속 특성을 이용하여 무선으로 대체하여 구축할 수 있다. 본 연구는 스마트공장과 관련된 5G 기술의 효율적 개발을 위해 기술개발 동향을 분석하였다. 국내 특허청 데이터 1517건과 미국 특허청 데이터 1928건을 수집하였다. 해당 데이터를 바탕으로 네트워크분석 및 토픽모델링 기법을 이용하여 기술 추세와 핵심기술을 파악했을 때 한국과 미국의 경우 5G 기술이 초저지연과 초고속 특성에 초점 맞춰 기술 개발이 진행되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과로 제시된 스마트공장의 5G 활용과 관련된 기술개발 동향은 관련 산업의 정책수립 및 기술전략 수립을 위한 의사결정에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
