Internet of Edges Architecture for 6G
Guy Pujolle · 2023
The objective of this paper is to propose a 6G architecture based on trust zones called Edges. An Edge is built with nodes integrating small data centers so that a very large part of the 6G requests can be processed locally. This local infrastructure brings distributed data centers in the nodes of the Edges and supports serverless functions. The Edge infrastructure represents a horizontal network where clients are able to go directly from one node to another node in a D2D mode. The vertical part of the network corresponds to the telecommunications operator infrastructure. This infrastructure allows horizontal networks to open secure channel between trust zones. Cloud Continuum is the sum of horizontal and vertical networks. This architecture has been developed, tested, and now commercialized by Green Communications company.
