PoC Goals
PoC Project Goal #1:
Demonstrate the use of AI to predict the change of traffic pattern and
adjust the configuration of network slice in advance.
• PoC Project Goal #2:
Demonstrate the use of intent based interface to translate tenant
requirements to network slice configuration and intelligent network
slice lifecycle management on demand.

For generating new scale up/down and converting the intent to suggested configuration
AI-based predictor:
TNSM:
CNSM:
Provides underlay network control to satisfy the network slice requests
Provides core network control to satisfy the network slice requests
