Build your own closed loop: Graph-based proof of concept in closed loop for autonomous networks

Next Generation Networks (NGNs) are expected to handle heterogeneous technologies, services, verticals and devices of increasing complexity. It is essential fathom an innovative approach automatically efficiently manage NGNs deliver adequate end-to-end Quality Experience (QoE) while reducing operational expenses. An Autonomous Network (AN) using a closed loop can self-monitor, self-evaluate self-heal, making it potential solution for managing the NGN dynamically. This study describes major results building closed-loop Proof Concept (PoC) various AN use cases organized by International Telecommunication Union Focus Group on (ITU FG-AN). The scope this PoC includes representation in graph format, development evolution/exploration mechanisms create new loops based representations, implementation reference orchestrator demonstrate parsing validation loops. main conclusions future directions summarized here, including observations limitations PoC.
