PoC Goals

PoC Project Goal #1:

Demonstrate the use of AI to predict the change of traffic pattern and

adjust the configuration of network slice in advance.

• PoC Project Goal #2:

Demonstrate the use of intent based interface to translate tenant

requirements to network slice configuration and intelligent network

slice lifecycle management on demand.

For generating new scale up/down and converting the intent to suggested configuration

AI-based predictor:

TNSM:

CNSM:

Provides underlay network control to satisfy the network slice requests

Provides core network control to satisfy the network slice requests
