MonB5G
Distributed management of Network Slices in beyond 5G
(11/2019 – 04/2023)
Aim: The development of a distributed zero-touch network management framework for beyond 5G mobile networks.
MonB5G is designed around a hierarchical approach that allows the flexible and efficient management of network tasks, while introducing a diverse set of centralization levels through an optimal adaptive assignment of monitoring, analysis and decision-making tasks. MonB5G proposes a hierarchical, fault-tolerant, automated data-driven network management system that incorporates security as well as energy efficiency as “key” features, in order to orchestrate a massive number of parallel network slices and, significantly, more diverse types of services in an adaptiveand zero-touch way.
MonB5G reuses standards-based MANO and MEC frameworks, extending them with embedded cognitive capabilities. It further provides trust mechanisms tailored to the targeted multi-stakeholder environment, for secure and trustworthy cross-domain operations.
MonB5G has selected two use cases that will be trialed over the partners’ 5G testbeds, featuring automated, zero-touch slice management and orchestration across technical and administrative domains, enabling network operators to ensure end-to-end cross-domain SLAs (service-level agreements), as well as AI-assisted policy-driven security monitoring and enforcement.
