Tactical autonomic language for 5G network management

Abstract

This paper describes a Tactical Autonomic Language (TAL) for Self-Organizing Networks (SON)-enabled autonomic management of 5G networking infrastructures. The TAL is represented in the form of an XML Schema, and its information model is defined through an XSD. The paper presents the TAL aiming at describing the language as the means to define autonomic behaviors in terms of system reaction to certain network issues by presenting the main principles of the TAL concept and the information model. The information regarding the inclusion of TAL processing in development work is presented.
