ENI Vision:Improved Network Experience using Experiential Networked Intelligence

The Experiential Networked Intelligence Industry Specification Group (ENI ISG) is defining a Cognitive Network Management architecture, using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and context-aware policies to adjust offered services based on changes in user needs, environmental conditions, and business goals. It therefore fully benefits the 5G networks with automated service provision, operation, and assurance, as well as optimized slice management and resource orchestration. ENI has also launched Proof of Concepts (PoCs) aiming to demonstrate how AI techniques can be used to assist network operation including 5G. Worldwide AI applications enjoy a rapid growth, especially in terms of telecom operators. This White Paper provides guidance for ENI’s future development and overview of the current ENI publications. It is presented in two parts, an overview of activities, then a technical section.
