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.
