- 适合关注6G能效与AI融合的系统设计人员参考
未来6G网络将依赖高度分布式的AI原生无线接入网(RAN),通信与AI负载共享基础设施。这一演进结合部署密度上升和持续的AI处理,预计将显著增加RAN能耗。尽管开放无线接入网(O-RAN)通过无线接入网智能控制器(RIC)和服务管理与编排(SMO)引入可编程、模块化控制框架,但现有方法仍以策略驱动为主,难以实现跨多应用的动态节能协同。与此同时,AI-RAN推动了AI与RAN基础设施的融合,涵盖AI-for-RAN、AI-on-RAN及AI-and-RAN范式,但高效协同性能、延迟与能耗的联合调度仍是开放挑战。本文提出一种智能体驱动的AI原生RAN架构,融合O-RAN的结构化控制与AI-RAN的统一愿景。通过语义意图抽象与大语言模型(LLM)驱动的协调机制,该框架实现了异构工作负载间的自适应编排、冲突消解与能效感知的多目标优化。基于典型的AI-for-RAN与AI-on-RAN用例,验证了其在提升资源效率与降低运营能耗方面的有效性,为可持续6G网络铺平道路。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Future 6G networks will rely on highly distributed, AI-native Radio Access Networks (RANs), where communication and AI workloads share a common infrastructure. This evolution, combined with increasing deployment density and continuous AI processing, is expected to significantly increase RAN energy consumption. While Open RAN (O-RAN) introduces a programmable and modular control framework through the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) and Service Management and Orchestration (SMO), current approaches remain largely policy-driven, limiting adaptive energy-aware coordination across multiple applications. In parallel, AI-RAN promotes the convergence of AI and RAN infrastructures through AI-for-RAN, AI-on-RAN, and AI-and-RAN paradigms, yet efficient mechanisms to jointly orchestrate performance, latency, and energy remain an open challenge. This article proposes an agentic AI-native RAN architecture that bridges O-RAN's structured control with AI-RAN's unified vision. Leveraging semantic intent abstraction and Large Language Model (LLM)-driven coordination, the framework enables adaptive orchestration, conflict resolution, and energy-aware multi-objective optimization across heterogeneous workloads. Through representative AI-for-RAN and AI-on-RAN use cases, we show how such coordination can improve resource efficiency and reduce operational energy consumption, paving the way toward sustainable 6G networks.
