Abstract:

The academic community begin to define possible verticals and key-performance indicators for the sixth generation (6G) networks. However, the industrial community has many ongoing development projects that could lay down the ground for 6G development. For example, network virtualization transforms the operators infrastructure into fully automated and scalable chain of hybrid network functions that reside in public and private cloud. This new form of network modeling allows optimizing the computational resources through automated networks that monitors spectrum availability and traffic processed throughout various network segments. This combination of proactive service adaptation and smart resource assignment will influence the architectural design for upcoming 6G networks and the development of integrated components. The lecture will provide visions for a proactive end-to-end 6G network considering current and any future technology enablers.
