Abstract

6G is the next-generation intelligent and integrated digital information infrastructure, characterized by ubiquitous interconnection, native intelligence, multi-dimensional perception, global coverage, green and low-carbon, native network security, etc. 6G will realize the transition from serving people and people-things communication to supporting the efficient connection of intelligent agents, and comprehensively leading the digital, intelligent and green transformation of the economy and the society. As the core support system for mobile communication network, 6G OSS needs to achieve high-level network automation, intelligence and digital twinning capabilities to achieve end-to-end autonomous network operation and maintenance, support the operation of typical 6G business scenarios and play a greater social responsibility in the fields of environment, society, and governance (ESG).This paper provides a detailed introduction to the overall vision, potential key technologies, and functional architecture of 6G OSS . It also presents an evolutionary roadmap and technological prospects for the OSS from 5G to 6G.
