Y.3173 is an ITU-T Recommendation building upon Y.3172 specifying a framework for evaluation intelligence levels of future networks such as 5G (IMT-2020). This includes:
- Development trend of network intelligence
- Methods for evaluating network intelligence levels
- Architectural view for evaluating network intelligence levels
The standard addresses issue in Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) of IMT-2020 networks such as:
- diversified network deployment scenarios are
- diversified terminals, such as in Internet of things (IoT)
- manual decision-making mechanisms
- mechanisms analysing large amounts of network
- network connectivity among UEs
- decoupling of software from the hardware in networks
- transition towards a service-based intelligent network
Network intelligence is defined as:
Level of application of automation capabilities including those enabled by the integration of artificial intelligence techniques in the network.
