Abstract
Currently, the industry has put forward new scenarios, including ISAC (Integrated sensing and communication), computing and network coordination, and ubiquitous intelligence, for potential application to 6G networks in the future. Addressing the systematic and organic integration of data, computing, and communication becomes a primary concern. Meanwhile, the commercialization of 5G networks on a large scale has gradually revealed some new issues, such as network reliability, flexibility, rapid deployment, and service customization, all of which can benefit from further improvement. In this paper, we propose a new intelligent and simplified architecture for 6G networks. We detail its functionalities, key features and procedures, and illustrate how to implement a new service in the future based on this architecture. This preliminarily verifies the capability of the architecture to enhance the existing networks while meeting future service requirements.
