Research on a knowledge-defined polymorphic network attainable service architecture

Abstract

Given the consideration of future generation mobile communication network systems with decoupled administration, control, and data planes, a knowledge-defined polymorphic network (KDPN) attainable service architecture was proposed.In the proposed architecture, while mimicking the biological polymorphism, “network knowledge” was acted as a genetic core connecting all the planes, where local network knowledge was extracted from different scenarios and layers of the network.By constructing a network knowledge graph with unified logic, and depending on the service requirement for specific knowledge, different local knowledge could be exchanged and collaborated.Network knowledge will provide guidance and foundation for general network optimization and management across different service scenarios, service layers, and service objectives.KDPN will help the communication networks cope with sophisticated and dynamic service demands and provide dynamic and diversified services to general users promptly and effectively with quality of experience assurances.
