Autonomous networks (ANs) represent a transformative shift for communications service providers (CSPs), enabling them to operate more efficiently, deliver better customer experience and innovate rapidly. TM Forum is at the forefront of industry-wide collaboration to drive the deployment and evolution of AN technology, processes and business models.
Level 4 autonomous networks represent a major shift from traditional human-defined automation processes to true autonomous decision-making. At Level 4, the network can self-manage, self-optimize and handle complex tasks.
A main focus of this AN Journey Guide is on creating a blueprint for Level 4 “high-value Scenarios” –use cases that combine an operation flow and a network domain (for example, fault management on the RAN). In it we explore how telcos and their technology partners are developing these scenarios, with a goal of evolving the necessary standards and sharing knowledge to make it easier to reach Level 4 autonomy.
