Build an autonomous driving network to achieve intelligent upgrades

Autonomous driving (ADN) can be said to be one of the core capabilities of 5.5G network evolution. Compared with the traditional network O&M mode, ADN uses AI algorithms and big data analysis to automatically perceive, analyze, and optimize the network, greatly improving network O&M efficiency and user experience.

"In the past, network O&M mainly relied on manual O&M, which was inefficient and difficult to cope with various problems in complex network environments. Now, through the deep integration of AI technology, we can build a real autonomous driving network, so that the network has the ability of self-perception, self-analysis, and self-optimization, so as to achieve intelligent upgrades. Wang Lei said.

In the Galaxy AI Network Solution, Huawei has introduced AI technologies to achieve comprehensive upgrades in three aspects: network awareness, intelligent analysis, and automatic optimization.

Network-wide awareness

Huawei's solution uses AI algorithms to perform deep learning and analysis on massive amounts of network data to build all-round network awareness capabilities. It can not only monitor the network status in real time, but also comprehensively perceive user behavior and service characteristics, laying the foundation for subsequent intelligent analysis and optimization.

Intelligent analytics

Based on network-wide sensing data, Huawei's solution can use AI models to perform in-depth analysis and diagnosis of network conditions. Not only can network faults and performance bottlenecks be identified, but also problems can be accurately located and analyzed based on factors such as user experience and business requirements.

Automatic optimization

With comprehensive sensing and analysis capabilities, Huawei's solution can automatically adjust the optimal network configuration and allocate resources based on actual conditions, so as to continuously optimize network performance. At the same time, cloud-network synergy can also achieve cross-domain intelligent optimization to ensure excellent overall network experience.

It is worth mentioning that Huawei's "Galaxy AI Network Solution" also makes full use of digital twin technology in the process of implementing ADN. By building a digital twin of the network, the actual network environment can be highly simulated, so that the configuration changes can be simulated and evaluated online for further improvement

Intelligent safety protection with the support of autonomous driving network

Network security has always been a major pain point in the development of 5.5G networks. With the deepening of the Internet of Everything, a large number of terminal devices are connected to the network, which brings unprecedented challenges to network security protection. However, Huawei's Galaxy AI Network Solution can provide all-round intelligent security protection to ensure the safe operation of 5.5G networks.

By integrating AI, big data and other technologies, the solution builds a ubiquitous security protection system with global perception and full-time autonomous protection. First, it can comprehensively perceive various devices, applications, and user behaviors in the network, and establish three-dimensional security perception capabilities. Based on this, it can also use AI algorithms for intelligent analysis to quickly discover various security risks and threats. It is worth mentioning that this solution can also accurately trace the source of the attack, laying the foundation for subsequent precision defense.

Finally, the Galaxy AI Network Solution can also automatically take corresponding defensive measures according to changes in the security situation, including isolating infected terminals, implementing precise blocking, and activating emergency plans, so as to achieve fully automatic and full-time security protection. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of network security protection, but also minimizes the need for manual intervention, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of 5.5G networks.

It can be said that the intelligent security protection capabilities in Huawei's "Galaxy AI Network Solution" will escort the security development of 5.5G networks and will become an important driving force for leapfrog progress in this field.
