第六代通信网络（6G）发展加速，目标于2030年推出。全球多个倡议正推动创新方案，聚焦AI深度融合、多接入技术融合及可持续运行，以满足严苛性能与社会需求。为此，我们提出REASON——面向开放网络的使能架构与解决方案。该项目旨在应对未来网络部署中的关键技术挑战，包括端到端服务编排、可持续性、安全与信任管理、策略管理等，采用AI原生原则，结合多接入技术与云原生方案。本文介绍REASON架构及其对6G网络的需求分析。该架构设计注重模块化、互操作性、可扩展性、故障简化、灵活性与增强安全性，兼顾当前与未来标准化进程及实施与训练便捷性。其分为四个水平层：物理基础设施、网络服务、知识、终端用户应用，以及两个垂直层：管理和编排、端到端安全。这一分层框架确保了对6G多样化演进需求的稳健适应，促进创新并实现先进技术的无缝集成。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The development of the sixth generation of communication networks (6G) has been gaining momentum over the past years, with a target of being introduced by 2030. Several initiatives worldwide are developing innovative solutions and setting the direction for the key features of these networks. Some common emerging themes are the tight integration of AI, the convergence of multiple access technologies and sustainable operation, aiming to meet stringent performance and societal requirements. To that end, we are introducing REASON - Realising Enabling Architectures and Solutions for Open Networks. The REASON project aims to address technical challenges in future network deployments, such as E2E service orchestration, sustainability, security and trust management, and policy management, utilising AI-native principles, considering multiple access technologies and cloud-native solutions. This paper presents REASON's architecture and the identified requirements for future networks. The architecture is meticulously designed for modularity, interoperability, scalability, simplified troubleshooting, flexibility, and enhanced security, taking into consideration current and future standardisation efforts, and the ease of implementation and training. It is structured into four horizontal layers: Physical Infrastructure, Network Service, Knowledge, and End-User Application, complemented by two vertical layers: Management and Orchestration, and E2E Security. This layered approach ensures a robust, adaptable framework to support the diverse and evolving requirements of 6G networks, fostering innovation and facilitating seamless integration of advanced technologies.
