By making use of the vector product in R³, a commuting operation is introduced so that R³ becomes a Lie algebra. The resulting loop algebra \tilde R³ is presented, from which the well-known AKNS hierarchy is produced. Again via applying the superposition of the commuting operations of the Lie algebra, a commuting operation in R⁶ is constructed so that R⁶ becomes a Lie algebra. Thanks to the corresponding loop algebra \tilde R³ of the Lie algebra R³, the integrable coupling of the AKNS system is obtained. The method presented in this paper is rather simple and can be used to work out integrable coupling systems of the other known integrable hierarchies of soliton equations.
