Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more specifically to a network infrastructure based on next-generation mobile communication. Background Technology

[0002] The next generation of wireless communication networks will develop towards ubiquitous and seamless high-quality services. It will have ultra-high network speeds, ultra-low communication latency, and wider coverage depth. It will fully share ultra-high frequency wireless spectrum resources such as millimeter waves, terahertz, and ubiquitous optical waves, and integrate related technologies such as broadband mobile communication, space-air internet, and industrial internet to form an integrated green network with collaborative capabilities for all things, intelligent data perception, real-time security assessment, and coordinated coverage between space and ground.

[0003] An integrated air-space-ground-sea network represents the fundamental physical form of future network architecture, capable of providing comprehensive wireless signal coverage across all parts of the Earth. Information from various networks can be interconnected, and this connectivity between these networks is a key characteristic of the next-generation mobile network (6G) physical architecture. However, achieving this interconnectivity is virtually impossible with any existing network architecture. Therefore, a novel, backward-compatible network architecture is urgently needed to meet the diverse and complex demands of integrated air-space-ground-sea communication. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a network infrastructure based on next-generation mobile communication that enables information interconnection and interoperability between integrated air, space, and sea networks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is a network including heterogeneous networks. The heterogeneous network is constructed uniformly for various heterogeneous networks in the integrated air-space-ground-sea network, following the paradigm of closed-loop management of demand, perception, decision-making, and execution. In the heterogeneous network, data is transmitted and manipulated through mutually understood languages. Each heterogeneous network is a network element of the heterogeneous network, and the network architecture is a cluster of heterogeneous networks. Furthermore, a three-element network slice with intelligent native, security inherent, and perception symbiosis runs through every network abstraction layer of the network architecture.

[0006] Based on the above technical solutions,

[0007] The network infrastructure also includes a unified platform for intelligent and resilient heterogeneous network clusters;

[0008] The heterogeneous network cluster unified platform consists of edge intelligence, core intelligence, cloud intelligence, horizontal intelligent slices, and vertical business slices.

[0009] The heterogeneous network cluster unified platform is connected to low-orbit satellite networks, low-altitude relay communication networks, ocean / deep-sea networks, millimeter-wave / terahertz networks, non-cellular ultra-large-scale cooperative networks, traditional cellular mobile networks, and future networks.

[0010] Edge intelligence is used to distinguish heterogeneous network types, and meta-language is used to control and communicate with heterogeneous networks.

[0011] Based on the above technical solutions, the future network includes a quantum communication network and a neutrino communication network.

[0012] Based on the above technical solutions,

[0013] The network infrastructure is logically composed of a cloud intelligence platform, a core intelligence platform, an edge intelligence platform, and heterogeneous network terminals;

[0014] The cloud intelligence platform is used to handle the on-demand and incremental demands of various heterogeneous networks.

[0015] The core intelligent platform includes horizontal intelligent orchestration and vertical business orchestration;

[0016] The edge intelligence platform includes heterogeneous access interconnection, heterogeneous service bearing, various transmission media, and heterogeneous transmission control.

[0017] Based on the above technical solutions,

[0018] The logical architecture of the network infrastructure is a three-layer, three-life logical architecture formed by an abstraction layer and network slices;

[0019] The abstraction layer includes a demand-driven layer, a data cognition layer, and a heterogeneous network layer;

[0020] The network slicing includes security-native, intelligence-native, and perception-symbiotic features.

[0021] The abstraction layer is abstracted from a physical plane, and the network slice is abstracted from a virtual plane.

[0022] Based on the above technical solutions,

[0023] The demand-driven layer is used to handle various demands across all dimensions in a closed-loop management paradigm, and to drive other network layers in a demand-oriented manner.

[0024] The data cognition layer is used to parse and process various heterogeneous data from other layers, and to construct the semantic information system of the network infrastructure with unified specifications and standards, forming meta-language and meta-cognition;

[0025] The heterogeneous network layer is used to dynamically reconstruct all heterogeneous networks in order to abstract the heterogeneous networks into transparent networks.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, the network slices that are inherently secure, intelligently native, and perceptually symbiotic are integrated into each abstraction layer, so that the abstraction layer has corresponding virtual network functions.

[0027] Based on the above technical solutions,

[0028] The control plane of the network infrastructure includes the original 5G network architecture functions and newly added functions;

[0029] The new features include wireless network access clusters, heterogeneous network control, edge access control, meta-language translation, metadata management, and multi-dimensional slicing.

[0030] Based on the above technical solutions,

[0031] The network infrastructure is also capable of autonomous and flexible reconfiguration.

[0032] The elastic reconfiguration provides a full-link network service for collaboratively processing heterogeneous information in the face of high-throughput, heterogeneous networks with different media and highly interactive information services. It can reconfigure the network architecture, topology, evolution mode and functional performance dimensions, and has the capabilities of multi-path transmission, low-latency information encoding and transmission, concurrent processing of heterogeneous media edge nodes and efficient distribution.

[0033] Based on the above technical solutions,

[0034] The network infrastructure is based on a comprehensive semantic definition, providing a meta-language that is understandable to users, heterogeneous networks, and intelligent agents, and forming metacognition to enable the exchange of semantic information between heterogeneous networks.

[0035] Each bit in the information transmitted between the heterogeneous networks has a unique meaning, so as to unify the ecosystem of the heterogeneous networks.

[0036] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: For various heterogeneous networks in the integrated air-space-ground-sea network, following the paradigm of closed-loop management throughout the entire process of "demand-perception-decision-execution", a unified network of heterogeneous networks is constructed, with each heterogeneous network being its network element. The next-generation network infrastructure will cluster heterogeneous networks such as satellite networks, air networks, land networks, and ocean networks, integrating various network technologies into one, enabling comprehensive wireless signal coverage of all spaces on Earth, and enabling information interconnection and interoperability between the integrated air-space-ground-sea network.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this application, but not all embodiments.

[0043] The next-generation integrated air-space-ground-sea network is a network architecture that integrates various technologies from satellite, air, land, and sea networks, enabling comprehensive wireless signal coverage across all parts of the Earth and allowing information to be interconnected between these heterogeneous networks. However, currently, there is no next-generation internet infrastructure that is fully applicable to this integrated network, capable of connecting various heterogeneous networks to form a network of heterogeneous networks while also ensuring backward compatibility. Therefore, clarifying the relationships and connections between next-generation mobile communication networks at the heterogeneous network levels and redesigning a new internet infrastructure is particularly necessary.

[0044] See Figure 1As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a network infrastructure based on next-generation mobile communication, including a heterogeneous network. The heterogeneous network is constructed uniformly for multiple heterogeneous networks in the integrated air-space-ground-sea network, following the paradigm of closed-loop management of demand, perception, decision-making and execution. The heterogeneous network operates and transmits data through mutually understood languages. Each heterogeneous network is a network element of the heterogeneous network, and the network architecture is a cluster of heterogeneous networks. The three-element network slice of intelligent native, security intrinsic and perception symbiosis runs through every network abstraction layer of the network architecture, changing the paradigm of traditional network architecture from all dimensions, both horizontally and vertically.

[0045] It should be noted that, due to the varying connection methods, communication protocols, transmission media, and standards of the heterogeneous networks within the integrated air-space-ground-sea network, this invention constructs a heterogeneous network (equivalent to a heterogeneous network cluster) to enable the next-generation network to freely access intelligent terminals from these heterogeneous entities. This network follows a closed-loop management paradigm of "demand-perception-decision-execution," using a language mutually understood by the networks to control and transmit data. The differences between these heterogeneous entities are transparent and imperceptible to the user. Furthermore, the "three-life" principle of intelligence-native, security-inherent, and perception-symbiotic is applied throughout the entire network architecture lifecycle.

[0046] Addressing the complex requirements of next-generation networks, such as network heterogeneity, service diversity, and extensive resources, the network infrastructure of this invention can coordinate and manage heterogeneous network systems. It presents multimodal functions based on a combination of virtual and physical layers, provides flexible virtual network slicing according to different network architectures, services, and resources, dynamically selects different wireless technologies and network frameworks, supports the construction of service bearer networks that meet the personalized needs of different types of communication entities, supports the rapid deployment of existing typical protocols as well as various new protocols, and has strong communication flexibility and determinism.

[0047] See Figure 2 As shown, the network infrastructure in this invention also includes an intelligent and resilient unified platform for heterogeneous network clusters. This unified platform comprises edge intelligence, core intelligence, cloud intelligence, and horizontal intelligent slices and vertical service slices. It connects to low-Earth orbit satellite networks, low-altitude relay communication networks, ocean / deep-sea networks, millimeter-wave / terahertz networks, non-cellular ultra-large-scale collaborative networks, traditional cellular mobile networks, and future networks, including quantum communication networks and neutrino communication networks. Edge intelligence distinguishes heterogeneous network types, and a meta-language is used to control and communicate with these networks. Therefore, the intelligent and resilient unified platform for heterogeneous network clusters is the core of the network infrastructure of this invention.

[0048] See Figure 3 As shown, the network infrastructure logically consists of a cloud intelligence platform, a core intelligence platform, an edge intelligence platform, and heterogeneous network terminals. The cloud intelligence platform handles the on-demand and incremental needs of various heterogeneous networks; the core intelligence platform includes horizontal intelligent orchestration and vertical service orchestration, such as intelligent addressing and routing, and dynamic transmission protocols; the edge intelligence platform includes heterogeneous access interconnection, heterogeneous service bearing, various transmission media, and heterogeneous transmission control. This ensures compatibility with existing network "cloud-network-edge-device" architectures, and full-stack security and trust modules are integrated across all platforms.

[0049] See Figure 4 As shown, the logical architecture of the network infrastructure is a three-layer, three-life logical architecture formed by an abstraction layer and network slices, namely, it consists of three abstraction layers and three network slices. The abstraction layer includes a demand-driven layer, a data cognition layer, and a heterogeneous network layer, and is abstracted from the physical plane; the network slices include security-native, intelligence-native, and perception-symbiotic, and are abstracted from the virtual plane.

[0050] The demand-driven layer is used to handle various demands across all dimensions using a closed-loop management paradigm, driving other network layers with demand as the guide; the data cognition layer is used to parse and process various heterogeneous data from other layers, constructing the semantic information system of the network infrastructure with unified specifications and standards, forming meta-language and meta-cognition; the heterogeneous network layer is used to dynamically reconstruct all heterogeneous networks, abstracting the heterogeneous network into a transparent network, that is, to abstract a network of heterogeneous networks that is transparent to the user.

[0051] It's important to note that the network slices of security-native, intelligence-native, and perception-symbiotic permeate each abstraction layer, enabling each layer to possess corresponding virtual network functionalities. For example, for the demand-driven layer, intelligence-native provides learning and reasoning capabilities, security-native tracks "known unknowns" and "unknown unknowns" of cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and perception-symbiotic clearly defines various environmental factors related to collective intelligence and social perception, collectively serving the superposition or incremental demands from all dimensions of "human-network-thing-environment." Similarly, the other two layers operate in the same way; the virtual "three-life" slices provide specific network functions for the physical "three-layer" abstraction, forming a completely new network architecture.

[0052] In this invention, the control plane of the network infrastructure includes existing 5G network architecture functions and newly added functions. The newly added functions include wireless network access clusters, heterogeneous network control functions, edge access control functions, meta-language translation functions, metadata management functions, and multi-dimensional slicing functions. These newly added control functions, together with the functions of the 5G network architecture, constitute the control plane of the next-generation network infrastructure.

[0053] In this invention, the network infrastructure is based on a comprehensive semantic definition, providing a meta-language that is understandable to users, heterogeneous networks, and intelligent agents, and forming metacognition to enable the exchange of semantic information between heterogeneous networks; each bit in the information transmitted between heterogeneous networks has a characteristic meaning, so as to unify the ecosystem of heterogeneous networks.

[0054] To enable the exchange of semantic information between heterogeneous network clusters, this invention's network infrastructure is based on a comprehensive semantic definition. This network infrastructure provides a meta-language that is understandable to humans, heterogeneous networks, and intelligent agents, forming metacognition. Every bit of information is truly given specific meaning; the high-level semantic knowledge of the meta-language comprehensively defines, represents, describes, abstracts, reasons about, and enables information, unifying the network ecosystem.

[0055] In this invention, the network infrastructure can also be reconfigured autonomously. The reconfiguration provides a full-link network service for collaborative processing of heterogeneous information in the face of high-throughput, heterogeneous networks with different media and highly interactive information services. It can reconfigure the network architecture, topology, evolution mode and functional performance dimensions, and has the ability to perform multi-path transmission, low-latency information encoding and transmission, concurrent processing of heterogeneous media edge nodes and efficient distribution.

[0056] The characteristic of elastic reconfiguration refers to providing efficient collaborative processing of heterogeneous information across the entire network in the face of high-throughput, heterogeneous networks with different media and highly interactive information services. It can reconfigure multiple dimensions such as network architecture, topology, evolution mode and functional performance, and has the ability to perform multi-path transmission, low-latency information encoding and transmission, concurrent processing and efficient distribution of heterogeneous media edge nodes. It can provide effectiveness and convergence for multi-directional information interaction for demand and its increment.

[0057] It should be further explained that the elasticity of the next-generation network infrastructure allows for the real-time addition of heterogeneous networks using different transmission media, continuously expanding the heterogeneous network cluster, increasing data transmission capacity, and effectively forming a heterogeneous network network. Each heterogeneous network is a network element of the next-generation network, distributing information transmission power evenly across multiple network element nodes, assigning internal indexes to them, and forming an abstract virtual slice containing one or more logical functions across multiple physical networks. This allows for dynamic and automatic migration or addition / removal of network elements and reconstruction of the heterogeneous network network, achieving a more balanced network load while maintaining normal network service.

[0058] The three types of network slicing in next-generation network infrastructure—intelligent native, security-inherent, and awareness-symbiotic—can all be applied to vertical service slices in traditional networks. For example, deploying "intelligent native" slices at the horizontal level of virtual slices serving vertical industries creates intelligent service bearers and intelligent transmission control, intelligent access interconnection, and intelligent converged transmission media at various layers, all based on a combination of virtual and physical elements. Building intelligent virtual network slices at the horizontal level enables AI (artificial intelligence) to empower all aspects of the network slice, such as intelligent addressing and routing, adaptive switching methods, dynamic transmission protocols, and multimodal management and control. If 5G SDN (Software Defined Network) / NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) network slicing has changed the traditional network architecture at the vertical industry level, then the new "three-native" slices will build new networks at both the vertical and horizontal levels, giving the next-generation network architecture greater autonomy, controllability, elasticity, and reconfiguration capabilities across all dimensions.

[0059] The next-generation mobile communication-based network infrastructure of this invention addresses various heterogeneous networks in the integrated air-space-ground-sea network by following a closed-loop management paradigm of "demand-perception-decision-execution" to uniformly construct a network of heterogeneous networks. Each heterogeneous network is its network element. The next-generation network infrastructure integrates the technologies of various heterogeneous networks such as satellite networks, air networks, land networks, and marine networks, enabling comprehensive wireless signal coverage across all spaces on Earth and facilitating information interconnection between the integrated air-space-ground-sea networks.
