Objective
The rapid growth of latency-sensitive applications—autonomous mobility, industrial automation, immersive XR, and AI-driven decision systems—is placing unprecedented demands on digital infrastructure. While 6G promises ultra-reliable low-latency communication, pervasive edge computing, and programmable network fabrics, the software stack to fully exploit these capabilities remains underdeveloped. SIXG (Serverless Infrastructure for neXt-Generation 6G networks) addresses this gap with a unified, real-time serverless computing framework. Its vision is dual: enabling real-time serverless applications leveraging 6G features such as network slicing, NFV, cloud-network integration, and programmable data planes; and embedding serverless functions across user, control, and management planes to deliver agility, scalability, and responsiveness for mission-critical workloads.
At the application level, SIXG supports novel serverless workloads—e.g. AI-driven video analytics and hazard detection—that require ultra-low-latency ingestion, elastic orchestration, and modular execution. A next-generation streaming layer provides primitives for ingestion, transformation, tiered storage, and state management, while a burst-aware WebAssembly runtime ensures real-time responsiveness under unpredictable workloads. At the network level, programmable execution across 6G planes enables traffic steering, QoS enforcement, and service orchestration. Embedded GPUs, real-time telemetry, confidential computing, and AI-driven orchestration support seamless service migration, optimal workload placement, and wire-speed event processing.
By jointly optimizing software and network layers, SIXG establishes a cross-layer, AI-native foundation for real-time Function-as-a-Service in 6G. Proof-of-concepts in smart manufacturing and ADAS validate the framework, demonstrating scalable, ultra-low-latency, and energy-efficient solutions for next-generation intelligent services.
