While the commercial deployment and promotion of 5G is ongoing, mobile communication networks are still facing three fundamental challenges,i.e., spectrum resource scarcity,especially for low-frequency spectrum, exacerbated by fragmented spectrum allocation, user-centric network service provision when facing billions of personalized user demands in the era of Internet of everything (IoE), and proliferating operation costs mainly due to huge energy consumption of network infrastructure. To address these issues,it is imperative to consider and develop disruptive technologies in the next generation mobile communication networks, namely 6G. In this paper, by studying brain neurons and the neurotransmission, we propose the fully-decoupled radio access network (FD-RAN). In the FD-RAN,base stations (BSs)are physically decoupled into control BSs and data BSs, and the data BSs are further physically split into uplink BSs and downlink BSs. We first review the fundamentals of neurotransmission and then propose the 6G design principles inspired by the neurotransmission. Based on the principles,we propose the FD-RAN architecture, elastic resource cooperation in FD-RAN, and improved transport service layer design. The proposed fully decoupled and flexible architecture can profoundly facilitate resource cooperation to enhance the spectrum utilization, reduce the network energy consumption and improve the quality of user experience. Future research topics in this direction are envisioned and discussed. |
