Abstract
In addition to the many services deployed with the predecessor cellular generation, 6G is envisioned to host a large number of new services with strict KPI and QoS requirements which require the various network resources to be optimized accordingly. For example, 6G is expected to be the first generation of cellular systems with built-in sensing capabilities. The coexistence of these services on a common network infrastructure requires improvements in the network architecture to meet the required flexibility, efficiency, and autonomy. In order to provide a seamless and effective coexistence among different services, the 6G system needs to evolve the 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) and Core Network (CN). This paper discusses the different ongoing research activities on the 6G architecture and outlines the potential evolution of the different parts of the network. Moreover, the paper discusses the standardisation implications of these evolutionary changes.
