摘要	The evolution toward 6G mobile networks will extend 5G capabilities through integrated communication-computing architectures, creating intelligent wireless networks. As fundamental components of radio access networks (RANs), base stations require enhanced capabilities to support AI-driven applications. However, enabling this communication for the AI paradigm presents significant challenges, such as optimizing resource allocation and ensuring reliability in less robust cloud environments. This article proposes D(5)RAN - a substrate platform designed for the service-based RAN architecture that enables efficient communication-computing integration. Through five-dimensional decoupling in service development and operations (DevOps), D(5)RAN facilitates adaptive RAN protocol stack configuration and reliable data delivery. We analyze implementation challenges and feasible architectures of service-based RANs for AI, presenting D(5)RAN's framework. A proof-of-concept based on D(5)RAN demonstrates dynamic communication service orchestration for AI demands, highlighting the potential of service-based RANs in advancing communication for AI within 6G networks.
