AI-Native for 6G Core Network Configuration

Abstract

3GPP envisions exploiting AI-Native for the day-to-day operations of 6G core networks (CNs). As opposed to 5G CNs whose uses for artificial intelligence (AI) are limited and not yet standardized, 6G CNs seek a revolutionary redesign where AI will no longer simply be an overlaid service but rather the foundation upon which all network functions run, i.e., AI-Native. By leveraging knowledge of the CN control plane, we utilize an AI framework to optimize our three proposed CN configurations and minimize the CN execution time which is imperative for end-to-end routing in the user plane.
