AI-Driven Automated Network Management for 5G and Future 6G Services

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine a giant city where traffic lights and roads automatically adjust themselves in real-time to prevent jams without any human intervention. This technology does the same for internet data, using AI to spot problems and fix them instantly. It ensures that critical services stay online and fast, even when millions of devices are connected at once.

The business problem

What needed solving

Manual management of 5G networks is too slow and complex for modern demands. This leads to inefficiency, higher energy costs, and an inability to scale services across different geographic regions.

The solution

What was built

An automated orchestration platform consisting of an End-to-End Service Orchestration Layer (ESO-L) and a Domain Orchestrator Layer (DO-L), supported by a Network Digital Twin for AI training.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing for implementing this system?

Based on available project data, specific pricing or licensing costs are not mentioned; the project was supported by a EUR 5,901,405 EU contribution.

Can this be deployed at an industrial scale?

Yes, the platform is designed as a highly-distributed grid of orchestrators across geo-dispersed environments to ensure scalability for 5G and beyond.

What is the IP and licensing status of the results?

The project targets submissions to open-source initiatives and standards such as ETSI ZSM, ETSI NFV-OSM, TMF, and ONF.

How does this integrate with existing network hardware?

It uses standardised communication interfaces and an integration fabric to ensure compatibility with current infrastructure and future 6G ecosystems.

What is the timeline for availability?

The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31, indicating the technology is currently in development and testing phases.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 8 industrial partners (67% of the 12 total members), including 5 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, spanning 6 countries, suggests the technology is being developed with direct market application and commercial viability in mind rather than purely academic interest.
