摘要

以5G为代表的现有通信网络作为通信会话类数据传输的“管道”，是终端设备和网络之间建立信息交互的通路。不同于通信会话类数据的点到点传输，6G 网络中智能、感知，以及网络运营自身产生和消费的数据需要以一种分布式的方法进行数据采集、预处理、存储和分析。为此，提出了一种独立于传统用户面的数据面架构，系统性地解决 6G 移动通信网络对非用户面数据的管控和价值变现的挑战。给出了 6G 网络数据和数据服务的分类和特征。并在对比分析5G用户面以及现有数据驱动的技术架构基础上，提出了一种以数据编排器和数据代理为核心的独立的6G数据面框架，详细阐述了数据面功能架构。此外，设计了3种支持随路计算和支持任意拓扑数据管道的数据转发控制机制，实现了动态可编程数据管道的构建与维护，以及路由算法和数据转发的彻底分离。

Abstract

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.
