Architecting the 6G Core: Foundation for Intelligent, and Resilient Data-Centric Networks

This paper presents a comprehensive vision of the 6G core network to meet the unprecedented requirements of low latency, extreme data rates, and massive connectivity. A key enabler of this vision is the integration of AI-native and data-driven design paradigms, which empower the 6G network with intelligent automation, autonomous decision making, and real-time optimization. Furthermore, the proposed architecture emphasizes modularity, resiliency, and security as foundational design principles. Through the described architectural principles, intelligent capabilities, and data-driven design, this work lays the groundwork for a future-proof 6G core that is agile, intelligent, and resilient.
