scope:

This Recommendation specifies an architectural framework for network automation based on artificial intelligence (AI) for resource and fault management in future networks, including international mobile telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020). The purpose of the framework is to improve network efficiency and maintain quality of service (QoS) by continuously monitoring the network and promptly determining appropriate actions by using AI, including machine learning (ML).

The scope of this Recommendation includes:

• high-level architecture of network automation for resource and fault management with AI including ML;

• resource management functions;

• fault management functions.
