Y.3173

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.
