Networks having the freedom to act independently, to govern themselves and to control their behavior throughpreviously defined policies, it means self-governing, no external humans or machine are acting upon.

The Autonomous Networks consist of a simplified network architecture, virtualized components, automating agents,intelligent decision engines and present self dynamic capabilities to create intelligent business and networkoperations based on closed-loop.

Revolution through EvolutionAutonomous Cars vs Autonomous Networks

The introduction of new engine (electric, hybrids…), sensors, videocamera, actuators, communication infrastructure (Wifi, BT, V2X…) supported the evolutional journey!Similarly Telco Networks require: distributed sensors actuators on network elements(SENSE-PROCESS-ACT), Slicing customization and dynamic creation of new slices, dynamic coverage on demand, e2e SLA

ODA patterns and Autonomous Networks


Digital agility demands a new approach to change programs…

ODA – principles applied all the way to the network and back again!

INTE

ENCE

Relentless Customer Centricity Simplified portfolio Radically simplified, modular and

flexible business processes allow business to adapt and innovate at speed of the digital market

Componentization of technology into discreet business capabilities reduce need for customization and time-to-market

Simplified on-boarding ofpartners and their services

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, DEVELOPMENT & INNOVATION (CI/CD)

Zero-touch, closed-loop automation of business and technology operations(including network), enabled by cloudification and AI/ML transforms efficiency

Use of AR/VR technology to enhance human operations

Business decisions, product and service evolution and innovation driven by real-time data, analytics and artificial intelligence

Continuous view of end-to-end customer experience & SLA adherence


ODA – An architecture for the digital era!Identifying the domains

Separation of concerns and simplification through decoupling of the domains

Engagement Management for a single coherent customer experience

Party Management supporting complex business models

Core Commerce Management supporting third party and marketplace offers and service composition and orchestration

Production abstracting the complexity of infrastructure. (Production is the combination of the Service Management and Resource Management Domains of Frameworx)

Intelligence Management to support systems of insight, AI, Machine Learning and Cognitive capabilities.

A capability is a coherent block of business functionality within an ODA component. It has its own “attributes” (data) embedded within it.

It has “operations” (functions) that you can invoke on it.It can execute processes, which may involve people (manual steps).

The operations are exposed via Open APIs.

Applying ODA principles to the network

A set of autonomous domains that represent networks of the future

• “Softwarization” of the Network• Transforming the network layer through

virtualization• Telstra have mapped their entire network to a

set of operational Domains• Each Domain has a Catalog of the services it

supports• Each Domain exposes a well-defined standard

set of services to the order delivery orchestrator so that products and offers can be composed with minimal dependencies on the network resources

• Telstra will manage the lifecycles of these network services autonomously using the customer’s intent, policy, closed control loops, data analytics and machine learning.


Autonomous Networks

Identify an industry agreed set of autonomous domains that represent the network of the future

Autonomous Network Domains

Decouple one domain from another and expose a set of domain-based services via Open APIs to upper layers or other domains Service Exposing

Agree the definition of the network functions within the various autonomous domains. These vendor agnostic network functions will expose a set of standard resource facing service (RFS) operations at the domain level

Network Function Definition

Network functions can configure themselves and expose their characteristics to other layers or other domains to allow them to be externally controlled

Network Function Configuration

Support the ability to combine a set of network functions to build or deliver a higher-level network service

Network Function Combination

Model the exposure of a set of network functions as a set of domain services to enable higher level business services to utilize network services

Network Services Model

Develop the ability to deliver a customer service using a combination of flexible network functions that can be automatically orchestrated, configured, monitored and repaired

Service Delivery Ability

Enable the ability to specify a set of rules at the business level that can be automatically monitored and effected across all domains of the architecture

Business Rule Specification


ODA – Autonomous Networks

The revolution is happening now!• We will develop the framework/blueprint/architecture for the

management of tomorrows network• It requires:

– Fragmentation of the networks into domains– Virtualization of the network functions within domains– Implementation of the network functions as software

components that expose services– Encapsulation of the network function complexity within the

relevant domains as a set of network services– Automation of network function repair within the domain– Exposure of the networks services from the domains using

industry standard Open APIs• It uses

– Automated closed loop control within a domain– Automated closed loop control of the network across all

domains of the architecture– AI, big data, cloudification and virtualization

• It delivers:– Simplification of the management of the network– Agile, flexible delivery of network services and resources– Self-optimizing networks– Self-healing networks– Intent based operations – An ecosystem that goes beyond the boundary of Telco and

enables digital transformation across many industries

Layers and closed-loops of Autonomous Networks
