A Novel Network Service Design Method Providing the Foundation for Network Autonomy

Published: 16 April 2024 Publication History

Abstract

In the current era of rapid development in 5G networks, the flexibility and customization options inherent in these networks have led to the emergence of more complex network architectures and topologies. The need to achieve network intelligence and autonomy has become increasingly urgent. As an integral part of network intelligence and autonomy, service design methods play a foundational role. In this paper, we propose a service design approach with a layered architecture characteristic, based on the TMF SID framework. The main goal of this paper is to present a service design solution that optimizes the service design system, with the intention of aiding in the realization of network intelligence and autonomy. Additionally, this paper explores the current challenges faced by operators in their practical service design work, particularly in relation to the TMF SID framework. This analysis aims to identify potential directions for future research and development efforts.
