6G智联新场景与网络管控新范式

New Scenarios of 6G Intelligent Connection and Novel Paradigm of Network Control and Management

随着6G通信技术的蓬勃发展,新的智联场景不断浮现,给包含网络管控在内的网络架构带来新的挑战和需求。文章首先介绍IMT-2030工作组对6G应用场景的分析,具体涵盖九大特点和主要的智联场景,以及这些场景的分类总结。接着根据场景特点列举6G网络架构需要面对的挑战和满足的需求,并概括国内三大运营商的6G网络架构设计思想。最后,介绍知识定义的意图网络,作为一个新的6G网络管控范式,并梳理其核心理念——知识与意图双闭环管控架构。

With the booming development of 6G communication technology,new intelligent connection scenarios continue to emerge,it brings new challenges and demands to the network architecture including network management and control.In this paper,it first introduces the analysis of 6G application scenarios by the IMT 2030 working group,specifically covers nine characteristics and major intelligent connection scenarios,as well as a classification summary of these scenario characteristics.Then it enumerates the challenges to be faced and the needs to be satisfied by 6G network architecture according to the scenarios,and summarizes the 6G network architecture design ideas of the domestic carriers in China.Finally,this paper presents the knowledge-defined intent network as a novel 6G network management and control paradigm,and sorts out its core concept,the dual closed-loop control architecture of knowledge and intent.
