Session: Cloud Native Architecture & Migration Towards 6G - B6GS 2023

Moderator Dr. Farooq Bari, AT&T, leads the Cloud Native and Migration discussion following two presentations. 

Frank Fitzek, TU-Dresden - Talk #1

Udayan Mukherjee, Intel - Talk #2

Gavin Horn, Qualcomm

Dr. Simone Redana, Nokia

Talk#1

6G-life
The talk introduces the 6G-life project from TU Dresden and TU Munich. The main objectives, goals, and methodologies are presented in the talk. It addresses the need for cloud computing in future communication networks.

Talk#2

This session discusses the evolution of radio access network to open, disaggregated and virtualized cloud native RAN. It will focus on the RAN networks today for 5G, current ecosystem landscape, and the evolution of true service based cloud architecture being proposed for 6G. It also talks about the opportunities and challenges as well as how to address dynamic scalability of the network with the availability of multiple ecosystem options delivering the TCO benefits to end customer. The session covers some of newer use cases on the network beyond mobile broadband and how the existing network is evolving to address these. It also touches on some of several evolving trends towards 6G and how cloud & AI native technologies and ubiquitous computing will play a crucial role going forward. We explain what 6G plans to achieve, the fundamental reasons for this technology transformation, the architecture framework and enabling technologies to achieve 6G cloud-native technology objectives.
