Abstract

This article aims to explore the requirements and challenges that Intent-Based Management (IBM) systems should look towards to deliver proper automation management in multi-stakeholder 6G scenarios. To do so, the evolution of the telecommunications actors is presented to identify how they will interact with the use of intents and what IBM systems must face to fulfil with the tenants expectations while interacting among other IBM domains (aggregation vs. federation models). In a second step, this article presents how the IBM systems functionalities should be organized (based on standards research and comparative) and a set of enablers using them to properly deliver the automation needed to accomplish the requests done by the tenants. On a third step, a set of End-to-End (E2E) intent-based services are described to illustrate how the different enablers (and the functionalities they use) may work to reach the E2E service goal. Finally, a set of experimental results related to how intent conflicts should be manage is presented, followed by the conclusions.

为6G多利益相关者场景定义基于意图的业务管理自动化

本文旨在探讨基于意图的管理（IBM）系统在多涉众6G场景中交付适当自动化管理时应该考虑的需求和挑战。为此，本文介绍了电信参与者的发展，以确定它们将如何与意图的使用进行交互，以及IBM系统在与其他IBM域（聚合与联合模型）交互时必须面对哪些问题才能满足租户的期望。在第二步中，本文介绍了应该如何组织IBM系统功能（基于标准研究和比较），以及一组使用它们来正确交付完成租户完成的请求所需的自动化的启用程序。在第三步中，描述了一组基于端到端（E2E）意图的服务，以说明不同的启用程序（以及它们使用的功能）如何工作以达到E2E服务目标。最后，给出了一组关于如何管理意图冲突的实验结果，并给出了结论。

期刊介绍： The IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society (OJ-COMS) is an open access, all-electronic journal that publishes original high-quality manuscripts on advances in the state of the art of telecommunications systems and networks. The papers in IEEE OJ-COMS are included in Scopus. Submissions reporting new theoretical findings (including novel methods, concepts, and studies) and practical contributions (including experiments and development of prototypes) are welcome. Additionally, survey and tutorial articles are considered. The IEEE OJCOMS received its debut impact factor of 7.9 according to the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2023. The IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society covers science, technology, applications and standards for information organization, collection and transfer using electronic, optical and wireless channels and networks. Some specific areas covered include: Systems and network architecture, control and management Protocols, software, and middleware Quality of service, reliability, and security Modulation, detection, coding, and signaling Switching and routing Mobile and portable communications Terminals and other end-user devices Networks for content distribution and distributed computing Communications-based distributed resources control.
