“…Several new mobile core architectures have been proposed for the upcoming mobile networks [21]- [24]. These studies primarily address the current 5GC concerns, such as robustness, maintainability, scalability, and complexity to build brilliant 6G core (6GC) networks.…”

“…It is also designed to allow the easy introduction of new features. The procedural 5G core network [23] and the organic 6G [24] refactor NFs to a procedure-based model and manage UE context information in a single repository to reduce communication between NFs and improve durability. Magma, which is an open source software for building the mobile core network, terminated the RAN-specific protocols at access gateways close to the radio and adopted Remote Procedure Call (RPC) communication between RAN and core components to reduce the introduction and operational costs [25].…”

“…However, transferring context information for UEs in communication requires a complex procedure. Many studies on 6GC architecture aim to improve robustness and maintainability by separating UE context management and C-Plane processing [21], [23], [24]. Moreover, in 5GC, the coordination of multiple NFs is required for most C-Plane processing, including Registration and PDU Session Establishment, resulting in poor scalability and complex C-Plane processing [22]- [24].…”

Cyber Physical System (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) have attracted attention as a promising technology for the future society. Although the 6th generation mobile system is expected to work as the CPS/IoT platform, the specific technical requirements are not studied thoroughly. In this paper, we take application driven approach focusing on three applications, eHealth, smart manufacturing, and smart city, to identify mandatory technical requirements for the 6G mobile core network architecture to realize CPS/IoT systems. Specifically, this paper gives the following three contributions. First, we investigate several use cases in the applications listed above and list up the requirements for the core network, i.e., the massive connectivity, the flexible SLA, the ambient IoT device accommodation, the wireless sensing function, and the AI-aware data sharing. Second, we identify the issues to satisfy those requirements in the current 5G technologies. Lastly, we pick up the 6G architectures proposed currently and discuss their pros and cons based on the requirements and issues pointed out.

“…Some of the major enhancements of mobile communications beyond 5G do grant worthwhile capabilities but do also inflict new challenges as they impose risks to certain areas previously not an issue there. The idea of Organic Infrastructures [1][2][3][4][5] can present a great deal regarding flexibility, universal applicability and future-oriented evolution.…”

DLT architectures for trust anchors in 6G

2023

This manuscript investigates viable Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) architecture approaches to be used as basis for the distribution of integrity verification data. We discuss what can be a Trust Anchor and how the property of trust can be enabled as a service for mobile communications infrastructures. This follows up on a preceding publication, in the course of which a service was developed that can be utilized to create trust and traceability in transactions between other services. Crucial for the integrity of such an audit trail is proof for which side was committing, in case a tampering was detected. For such verification in the aftermath, mechanisms for the distribution of meta data are necessary. Where our ultimate goal is to develop a versatile framework for Trust as a Service (TaaS), the work at hand contributes the investigation on header distribution. We put a major focus on providing Trust as a Service (TaaS) especially in the mobile communications domain since a reliable concept for trustworthiness is indispensable for the vision of organic infrastructures beyond 5G, which means that such networks are flexible regarding their composition and open for stakeholders.
