文摘The 6G smart Fog Radio Access Network(F-RAN)is an integration of 6G network intelligence technologies and the F-RAN architecture.Its aim is to provide low-latency and high-performance services for massive access devices.However,the performance of current 6G network intelligence technologies and its level of integration with the architecture,along with the system-level requirements for the number of access devices and limitations on energy consumption,have impeded further improvements in the 6G smart F-RAN.To better analyze the root causes of the network problems and promote the practical development of the network,this study used structured methods such as segmentation to conduct a review of the topic.The research results reveal that there are still many problems in the current 6G smart F-RAN.Future research directions and difficulties are also discussed.
