Bridging the Cognitive Gap: A Unified Memory Paradigm for 6G Agentic AI-RAN
A new academic paper submitted to arXiv proposes a unified memory paradigm to address fundamental limitations in upcoming 6G radio access networks (RAN). As 6G evolves, the network must transition from traditional automation to agentic AI capable of perception, reasoning, and evolution. Current disaggregated architectures suffer from a cognitive gap, where interfaces force the physical layer to compress high-dimensional states into low-dimensional metrics, creating semantic bottlenecks for reasoning agents. The authors envision a shift toward memory-centric architectures that dissolve boundaries between sensing and reasoning by mapping biological memory hierarchies onto heterogeneous computing fabrics. Enabled by emerging coherent interconnects, this approach establishes a cognitive continuum. It allows microsecond-level reflexes, millisecond-level reasoning, and long-term evolution to share state across different time scales. By replacing traditional message passing with zero-copy observability, the proposed model empowers AI agents to bridge the gap between real-time responsiveness and long-horizon context, facilitating truly autonomous 6G networks.
