Springer Nature, a global research, educational and professional publisher, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with China's Publishing House of Electronics Industry (PHEI) to publish English-language book series and journals to promote China's technical expertise in the fields of electronic information and communications to the world. The cooperation will start with the two parties working together to publish two book series on 5G communications and the Beidou Satellite Navigation System. The signing ceremony was held during the 2016 Beijing International Book Fair in August 2016.
Under the deal, Springer will also assist PHEI in publishing English-language editions of its current portfolio of academic journals and both sides will seek opportunities to start up new English-language academic journals.
China is playing an increasing role in setting a unified international standard worldwide for 5G technology towards 2020. The book series Advanced Technologies for 5G Communications will provide readers with a panoramic picture of the latest progress China has made with 5G standardization both theoretically and in practice. The books will explore China's 5G key technologies and studies, covering ultra-dense wireless network, power and spectrum optimisation, 5G network architecture, 5G WiFi, and simulation and evaluation of 5G systems, among others.
BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) is a global navigation satellite system China has developed independently, equivalent to the US's GPS, Russia's GLONASS and Europe's Galileo system, and for which China owns independent intellectual property rights. Through the book series on BDS, China's achievements in research and civil application of the navigation satellite system will be shared with the world. This will be the first book series demonstrating the new technological development and constructing process of BDS. The name of the book series will be decided at a later date. Since 2012, Springer, part of Springer Nature, has published the annual proceedings of the China Satellite Navigation Conference.
