Organic 6G Continuum Architecture: A Uniform Control Plane Across Devices, Radio, and Core

Abstract

6G visionaries propose uniform control plane operations across connected devices, radio, and core networks. We introduce an advanced, organic 6G continuum concept and architecture, extending the core network’s control plane to encompass near-real-time radio control and user equipment via a novel Web-based services functionality split. This design, when compared with the 5G Service Based Architecture, showcases a reduction in complexity and an increase in flexibility.
