Promote the expansion of 5G + AI + large models, and inject new momentum into the comprehensive digital transformation of the economy and society.
At present, with the rapid growth of the digital economy, digital technology is fully integrated into economic and social development. ITU has designated "Digital Innovation for Sustainable Development" as the theme of World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) 2024, which aims to guide industry and society to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals through digital innovation.
Digital innovation to promote sustainable development is inseparable from the basic support of the communications industry. With the continuous advancement and application of 5G technology, more and more industries have begun to pay attention to the changes and opportunities brought by 5G technology. Among them, 5G intelligent O&M, as an emerging field, has received extensive attention and research. 5G intelligent O&M uses artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and other technologies to intelligently manage 5G networks, so as to achieve automation, intelligence, and efficiency of the network. Through 5G intelligent O&M, network faults can be quickly located and repaired, improving network reliability and stability, improving the overall performance and efficiency of the network, and providing users with a better service experience. 5G intelligent O&M can realize automatic network management, intelligent network optimization, and predictive network maintenance, which will bring major changes to communication networks.
As the backbone of 5G technology and industry, CITIC Mobile, a subsidiary of China Information Technology Group, has been continuously promoting the development and industrial application of 5G intelligent operation and maintenance, and has achieved fruitful results. In 2023, a complete NIME (Network Intelligent O&M Engine) solution has been formed, which drives system design and technology development through the concepts of digitalization, intelligence, and plug-in, and adopts a three-layer architecture of data governance, self-intelligence engine, and capability openness to build a system of "hierarchical empowerment, automatic orchestration, collaborative intelligence, and capability openness", and uses digital innovation to empower 5G smart wireless.
NIME intelligent O&M solution
Based on NIME, CITIC Mobile can provide end-to-end 5G intelligent O&M network services, carry out a series of intelligent O&M network practices, and have wireless O&M capabilities such as self-provisioning of network elements, self-maintenance of networks, and self-optimization of quality, and achieve high-quality delivery of 5G networks through automation, intelligence, platform-based and scenario-based capabilities. CITIC Mobile has deployed and verified a number of intelligent O&M functions with operators in some provinces, and achieved good results, providing a strong guarantee for the stable and efficient operation of 5G networks. This function uses the operation and maintenance center + AI intelligent computing platform to build an autonomous engine, which conducts AI small model training and inference online and in real time, and correlates and processes various structured data to achieve quasi-real-time intelligence. At the same time, it also provides EMS management and network AI and system automation interfaces, promoting the rapid improvement of network O&M quality and efficiency.
In addition, with the rapid increase in the complexity of communication networks and the amount of data, traditional intelligent O&M is also developing towards L4 high-level self-intelligence. At this stage, 5G intelligent O&M will be combined with the communication model to empower 5G ubiquitous intelligence, provide new solutions for efficient O&M and optimization of 5G networks, and promote the development of communication networks in the direction of higher efficiency and lower cost. CITIC Mobile has also made innovative achievements in the combination of AI communication model and 5G technology, and launched a 5G O&M Agent system based on natural language model, which can achieve efficient O&M and optimization of communication networks through deep learning and big data analysis, help operators quickly identify and solve network faults, and improve the stability and reliability of network operation. At the same time, it can intelligently schedule and optimize network resources to improve the overall performance and user experience of the network. Based on this, CITIC Mobile will further promote the further combination of 5G intelligent operation and maintenance and communication models, inject new vitality into the development of the communications industry, and provide strong technical support for the efficient network construction in the upcoming 5G-A era.
The future evolution of 5G intelligent O&M will continue to be a process of continuous innovation and development, which is mainly reflected in technological innovation, scenario expansion, intelligent upgrades, and security assurance. As a leader in 5G technology and industry, and an active advocate and practitioner of 5G intelligent O&M technology, CITIC Mobile will continue to strengthen cooperation with operators, continue to promote in-depth research and application in the direction of digital twins, intent-driven, and large models, closely follow the target architecture and evolution blueprint of autonomous networks, continue to explore in the 5G industry, accelerate the innovation of intelligent O&M technology, rapidly develop to high-end autonomous networks, promote the expansion of 5G+AI+ large models, and inject new momentum into the comprehensive digital transformation of the economy and society.
