Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for general intent to specific service modeling in intent-based orchestration. An intent specifying one or more parameters of a service required for a network is received. The intent is modeled as a root intent service that represents the one or more parameters of the service specified by the intent. The root intent service is decomposed into one or more specific services of a network orchestrator. The one or more specific services are caused to be instantiated in the network in order to fulfill the intent.

Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for intent-based communication service orchestration with generative AI assistance. An intent describing properties of a required service is processed, using a large language model (LLM), to translate the intent into a communication service capable of being orchestrated in a network. The communication service is orchestrated in the network.

Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for intent translation to Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) in intent-based orchestration. A microservice of a service and network orchestrator receives an intent defined in a first format associated with a first standard used for modeling and management of network services. The microservice translates the intent defined in the first format to a second format associated with a TOSCA-based model used for modeling and management of network services, to form the intent defined in the second format. The microservice outputs the intent defined in the second format.

Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for intent to service mappings in intent-based orchestration. An intent orchestrator receives an intent specifying one or more parameters of a service required for a network. The intent orchestrator translates the intent to one or more basic data types of a plurality of predefined basic data types based on the one or more parameters. The intent orchestrator forms one or more abstract services using the one or more basic data types. The intent orchestrator determines one or more specific services of a network orchestrator that correlate with the one or more abstract services. The intent orchestrator causes the network orchestrator to fulfill the intent using the one or more specific services.

Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for a model driven Non-RT RIC design for O-RAN management and orchestration. One or more features of one or more onboarded Non-RT RIC applications are determined. During run-time of the Non-RT RIC, a set of components are deployed for the Non-RT RIC based on the one or more features of the one or more onboarded Non-RT RIC applications.

Abstract: As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for generating a network slice experience index for evaluating a network slice. In use, a guaranteed quality of experience (QoE) is determined for a slice of a network. For at least one point in time, an actual QoE of the network overall is measured. A slice experience index is generated based on a delta between the guaranteed QoE and the actual QoE. The slice of the network is evaluated using the slice experience index.
