Abstract:

The application scenarios and technological development trends of 6G have gradually become more apparent with the advancement of research. To further promote the network towards automation, intelligence, and openness, edge cloud-network integration has been considered as an important direction for network architecture evolution. This paper first introduces the vision and drivers of 6G edge cloud-network integration, then proposes a reference architecture for deep edge nodes, and further elaborates on native artificial intelligence(AI) and cross-domain AI design. Finally, the challenges and suggestions brought by architectural innovation are analyzed.

Key words: 6G, wireless network architecture, deep edge node, native AI
