Data services and data plane for 6G mobile communication network

The existing communication network represented by 5G is used as a communication session data “pipeline”for information exchange between terminal devices and the network.Different from the point-to-point transmission of communication session data, the data generated and consumed by AI, sensing and ne...

description The existing communication network represented by 5G is used as a communication session data “pipeline”for information exchange between terminal devices and the network.Different from the point-to-point transmission of communication session data, the data generated and consumed by AI, sensing and network operations in 6G network needs to be collected, preprocessed, stored, and analyzed in a distributed manner.To this end, a data plane architecture independent of the traditional user plane was proposed to systematically solve the challenges of managing and monetization of the non-user-plane data for 6G mobile communication networks.The classification and characteristics of 6G network data and data services were identified and defined.Furthermore, based on the comparative analysis of the 5G user plane and the existing data-driven network architecture, a 6G data plane framework composed of two main components i.e.data orchestrator and data agent was proposed, and the data plane functional architecture was elaborated.In addition, three potential options for data forwarding control mechanisms were designed.These mechanisms can support on-path-packet processing within any topology of data pipelines, realizing the construction and maintenance of dynamic programmable data pipeline and the thorough separation of routing algorithms and data forwarding.
