TMF: Framework for Autonomous Networks

©TM Forum | 3

Catalyst Objectives

Orchestrate & monetise a complex eco-systemDemonstrate how a complex eco-system of partners, systems and business processes, as found in the EV charging market, can be orchestrated and monetised by a 5G CSP using an autonomous network framework.

Offers new & enhanced assured serviceCSP/DSP to offer an assured service with improved SLAs that self-heals from network outage and assures service performance. A common community and enterprise IIoT need, prime for operationalisation and monetisation.

TMF ODA and eTOM aligned solutionUse of an ODA aligned architecture, covering fulfilment, assurance and billing eTOM processes that serves eco-system customers, suppliers and curators from order to production.

Employ new 3GPP and ETSI FeaturesEmployment of new 3GPP & ETSI standards, including 5G network slicing, multi-access edge computing (MECs) and virtual network functions (VNFs) to achieve desired result.

Deploy closed loop autonomous networkCreate a autonomous network orchestrated through a cognitive close-looped process using TOSCA templates and VNFs that route traffic to a fail-over MEC. How an ODA aligned autonomous service

architecture can support a complex eco-system as highlighted by the EV Charging Market

Reliable Services for EV Charging – Solution Highlights

• Predictive Analytics of potential communication loss• Dynamic deployment of a MEC local app using TOSCA• MEC Forwarding/Offloading• Using a dedicated network slice

• 5G as a backup for fixed connectivity• Dynamically creating a network slice for a backup

communication between the charging stations and the charging station management system

• Adaptation to the evolution of the emergency event
