Bidirectional Green Promotion of 6G and AI: Architecture, Solutions, and Platform

The exponential growth of mobile devices has led to an explosion of network traffic in various fields, and application services have also emerged bloomingly in the Internet of Everything era. However, existing networks are not sufficiently intelligent to support rapid dynamic changes in topologies. Simultaneously, it is challenging to coordinate end-edge-cloud communication and computing. and thus green, energy-efficient, and sustainable development cannot be achieved. As a result, experts and scholars have paid attention to the future 6th generation (6G) technology. In response to the above challenges, this article explores artificial intelligence (AI) methods to integrate with 6G to realize the two-way promotion of AI and 6G. Ubiquitous AI will take root in 6G. Likewise, 6G will support new AI applications. We propose a green architecture for air-space-ground-sea integrated networks, oriented to all scenarios. Then, to integrate communication and computing, we put forward green solutions for network perception of radio map and traffic map to advance AI technologies and realize green fusion efficiently. Second, we propose a green wireless management platform based on KubeEdge Wireless, which containerizes nodes and expands the wireless connections to realize joint scheduling and orchestration of resources. Finally, we outline some open research topics and potential solutions/technologies for the two-way promotion of AI and 6G in the future.
