ABSTRACT
This chapter helps CSPs to build autonomous driving network (ADN) and vendors to design ADN components. At the heart of ADN is the vision of using an intelligent, simplified network architecture driven by data and knowledge in order to deploy a self-fulfilling, self-healing, self-optimizing, autonomous network. Such a network will be able to support new services, deliver a superior user experience, implement fully automated O&M, and maximize resource and energy efficiency. ADN cloud intelligence functions as the cross-domain sharing center of knowledge and AI models and the knowledge center of the business support system, operating systems, and ADs. It provides distributed AI for cross-domain collaboration and single-domain autonomy. In the NetGraph architecture, high-quality self-closed-loop control relies on real-time online simulation to ensure the objective achievement success rate. Real-time online simulation depends on real-time and accurate mapping to the physical network.
