Cybertwin Based Cloud Native Networks

With the emerging applications of the Internet of things,artificial intelligence,and satellite communications,the future network will be featured as the Internet of everything around the globe.The network heterogeneity,applications cloudification,and personal-ized user services demand a revolutionary change in the network architecture.With the rapid development of cloud native technology,the new network should support heterogeneous networks and personalized quality of services for users.In this paper,we propose a Cybertwin-based cloud native network(CCNN)that merges the radio access network(RAN),the IP bearer network,and the data center network and is based on the cloud native data center network using Kubernetes as a network operating system for unified virtualization of computing,storage,and network resources,unified scheduling and allocation,and unified operation and management.Then,we propose a fully decoupled RAN architecture that can flexibly and efficiently utilize the resource for personlized user services.We also propose a Cybertwin-based man-agement framework built on Kubernetes for integrated networking,computing and storage resource scheduling.Finally,we design an immunology-inspired intrinsic security architecture with zero trust security system and adaptive defense system.The proposed CCNN is a new network architecture expected to address future generation communications and networks challenges.
