The sixth-generation mobile communication network with endogenous intelligence： architectures，use cases and challenges

Abstract

In order to meet the growing demand of new services and facilitate the application of communication technology in vertical industries, mobile communication networks will gradually evolve with more intelligence, finally resulting in endogenous intelligence in the 6G era. However, most of the current research focuses on artificial intelligence(AI) based transmission and network optimization methods and rarely discusses how to support AI efficiently in the perspective of network architecture design. To fill this gap, this paper introduces the advances in wireless network architectures with endogenous intelligence proposed by both industry and academia and then discusses two use cases as well as related challenges.
