Abstract
Edge Intelligence, which blends Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Radio Access Network (RAN) and edge computing, is recommended as a crucial enabling technology for 6G to accommodate intelligent and efficient applications. In this study, we proposed Edge Intelligent Radio Access Network Architecture (EIRA) by introducing new intelligence modules, which include broadband edge platforms that allow policies to interact with virtualized RAN for various applications. We also developed a Markov chain-based RAN Intelligence Control (RIC) scheduling policy for allocating intelligence elements. Experimental results justified that the virtualized RAN delivers on its performance promises in terms of throughput, latency, and resource utilization.Funding Information
