Drivers for Organic 6G Networking

Abstract

Beyond 5G and 6G mobile network research gained a lot of traction in recent years. The German Open6GHub project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is a recent project working on researching and developing technologies towards 6G networks. This article presents the Open6GHub view on the requirements and approaches of the networks of 2030 and beyond. At this early stage, we have the opportunity to investigate more fundamental changes within the system architecture of mobile networks. This article presents the architectural concept of Organic Networks and how it can drive the evolution of mobile networks towards a more adaptable, efficient, and resource and requirements oriented network. The Open6GHub consortium is one of the principal investigators and drivers behind the Organic Network concept.
