Generic Intent-based Networking Platform for E2E Network Slice Orchestration & Lifecycle Management

5G claims the service provisioning for a variety of new applications increasing orchestration complexity. Additionally, many different orchestrators and platforms have been developed over recent years to handle and control the network infrastructures. However, each of the orchestration platforms requires different expertise for handling them. The diversity and dynamicity in terms of requirements made it very complex for the operators to handle runtime operations. As with the increasing number of devices, the amount of traffic streamed over network deviates drastically making it impossible for network operators to handle the network operations manually. Hence automated platforms are a dire need, this work proposed a generic intent-based system that can automatically orchestrate and manage network lifecycle over multiple domains, sites and orchestrators. This system will include the orchestration over multiple domains access, transport and core and it also includes the use of Machine Learning for prediction of resource status for proactive decision making to manage the slice lifecycle automatically.
