ETSI ISG ENI founded at 17Q1, Release 1 (2017-2019)
• The ISG ENI focuses on improving the operator experience,
adding closed-loop artificial intelligence mechanisms based
on context-aware, metadata-driven policies to more quickly
recognize and incorporate new and changed knowledge,
and hence, make actionable decisions.
• In particular, ENI will specify a set of use cases, and the
architecture, for a network supervisory assistant system
based on the ‘observe-orient-decide-act’ control loop
model.
• This model can assist decision-making systems, such as
network control and management systems, to adjust
services and resources offered based on changes in user
needs, environmental conditions and business goals.
Extended at 19Q1 into Release 2(2019-2021)
• New Terms of reference included: implementation, PoC,
plug-tests and open-source relationships
Core idea: Network perception analysis, data-driven policy, AI based closed-loop control

ENI Use Case: Intelligent Fronthaul Management and Orchestration
➢ An optimisation framework at the fronthaul➢ Enables flexible and dynamic resource slicing and functional split➢ Real-time optimisation according to, e.g., the changing traffic demand and requirements
The role of AI and ENI:
The challenges:
➢ Multiple factors and changing contexts ➢ Dimensionality of solution space on network resources (power, processing capability, radio
resources, buffering memory, route to be selected across multiple fronthaul nodes)
The role of AI and ENI:

ENI Use Case: AI enabled network traffic classification
➢ Current classification methods cannot sufficiently (or fail to) support the growth in the diversity of applications, traffic volume and the proportion of encapsulated traffic
➢ AI enabled Network Traffic classifier transforms bit streams or extracted features into images and models the network traffic classification as the ‘traffic image’ classification.
➢ By collecting data at the transport level (instead of application level) and applying machine learning algorithms, the ENI system is able to achieve accurate classification result with a relatively low overhead.
The challenges:
➢ Network traffic classification can support numerous network closed-loop control in terms of network security, traffic engineering, Quality of Service (QoS)
➢ By providing traffic change or distribution information at network or service level, classification results support policy-making processes and sever as the guideline for Operations support system (OSS) and traffic forecast.

UE ENI System
➢ Analyze collected data associated to e.g., traffic load, service characteristic, VNF type and constraints, infrastructure capability and resource usage, etc.
➢ Produce a proper context aware policy to indicate to the network slice management entity when, where and how to place or adjust the network slice instance (e.g., reconfiguration, scale-in, scale-out, change the template of the network slice instance)
➢ Dynamically change a given slice resource reservation
The challenges:
➢ Dynamic traffic➢ Allocation of network resources intra/inter slices (VNF scale in/out, up/down)
The role of AI and ENI:
© ETSI 2019 38
ENI Use Case: Assurance of Service Requirements
➢ Predict situations where multiple slices are competing for the same physical resources and employ preventive measures
➢ Predict or detect requirements change and make decisions (e.g., increasing the priority of a given network slice over neighbouring slices) at run time
The role of AI and ENI:
The challenges:
➢ Dedicated slice (e.g., banking, energy provider company)➢ Vital applications of the network to operate core business➢ Very strict requirements (e.g., a personalized SLA)

Policy Examples: Intent
Intent policies describe the set of computations that need to be
done without describing how to execute them
Policies are written in a restricted natural language
The flow of control is not specified
The order in which operations occur are irrelevant
Each statement in an Intent Policy may require the translation
of one or more of its terms to a form that another managed
functional entity can understand.
Express What should be done,not How to do it.

FOCALE Model-Driven Development (1)
FOCALE was designed for Autonomic Policy Management
FOCALE abstracts the functionality, structure, and behavior of the system being managed using a unique combination of models, ontologies, and logic
Context selects policies, which define behavior; as context changes, policies change
Input state is extracted/inferred from OAMP data and context and compared to desired state

Knowledge ManagementFunctional Block
The purpose of the Knowledge Management Functional Block is to represent information about both the ENI System as well as the system being managed. Knowledge representation is fundamental to all disciplines of modelling and AI. It also enables machine learning and reasoning – without a formal and consensual representation of knowledge, algorithms cannot be defined that reason (e.g., perform inferencing, correct errors, and derive new knowledge) about the knowledge. Knowledge representation is a substitute for the characteristics and behaviour of the set of entities being modelled; this enables the computer system to plan actions and determine consequences by reasoning using the knowledge representation, as opposed to taking direct action on the set of entities.
There are many examples of knowledge representation formalisms, ranging in complexity from models and ontologies to semantic nets and automated reasoning engines.
© ETSI 2019 59
Context-Aware ManagementFunctional Block
The purpose of the Context-Aware Management Functional Block is to describe the state and environment in which an entity exists or has existed. Context consists of measured and inferred knowledge, and may change over time. For example, a company may have a business rule that prevents any user from accessing the code server unless that user is connected using the company intranet. This business rule is context-dependent, and the system is required to detect the type of connection of a user, and adjust access privileges of that user dynamically.
© ETSI 2019 60
Situation-Awareness ManagementFunctional Block
The purpose of the Situation Awareness Functional Block is for the ENI system to be aware of events and behaviour that are relevant to the environment of the system that it is managing or assisting. This includes the ability to understand how information, events, and recommended commands given by the ENI system will impact the management and operational goals and behavior, both immediately and in the near future. Situation awareness is especially important in environments where the information flow is high, and poor decisions may lead to serious consequences (e.g., violation of SLAs).The working definition of situation awareness for ENI is:
The perception of data and behaviour that pertain to the relevant circumstances and/or conditions of a system or process (“the situation”), the comprehension of the meaning and significance of these data and behaviours, and how processes, actions, and new situations inferred from these data and processes are likely to evolve in the near future to enable more accurate and fruitful decision-making.
© ETSI 2019 61
Policy-based ManagementFunctional Block
The purpose of the Policy Management Functional Block is to provide decisions to ensure that the system goals and objectives are met. Formally, the definition of policy is:
Policy is a set of rules that is used to manage and control the changing and/or maintaining of the state of one or more managed objects.
There are three different types of policies that are defined for an ENI system:
• Imperative policy: a type of policy that uses statements to explicitly change the state of a set of targeted objects. Hence, the order of statements that make up the policy is explicitly defined.In this document, Imperative Policy will refer to policies that are made up of Events, Conditions, and Actions.
• Declarative policy: a type of policy that uses statements to express the goals of the policy, but not how to accomplish those goals. Hence, state is not explicitly manipulated, and the order of statements that make up the policy is irrelevant.In this document, Declarative Policy will refer to policies that execute as theories of a formal logic.
• Intent policy: a type of policy that uses statements to express the goals of the policy, but not how to accomplish those goals. Each statement in an Intent Policy may require the translation of one or more of its terms to a form that another managed functional entity can understand.In this document, Intent Policy will refer to policies that do not execute as theories of a formal logic. They typically are expressed in a restricted natural language, and require a mapping to a form understandable by other managed functional entities.
An ENI system MAY use any combination of imperative, declarative, and intent policy to express recommendations and commands to be issued to the system that it is assisting.
© ETSI 2019 63
Cognition ManagementFunctional Block
Cognition, as defined in the Oxford English Dictionary, is “the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses”.The purpose of the Cognition Framework Functional Block is to enable the ENI system to understand ingested data and information, as well as the context that defines how those data were produced; once that understanding is achieved, the cognition framework functional block then provides the following functions:
• change existing knowledge and/or add new knowledge corresponding to those data and information• perform inferences about the ingested information and data to generate new knowledge• use raw data, inferences, and/or historical data to understand what is happening in a particular context, why
the data were generated, and which entities could be affected• determine if any new actions should be taken to ensure that the goals and objectives of the system will be met.
A cognition framework uses existing knowledge and generates new knowledge.
A cognition framework uses multiple diverse processes and technologies, including linguistics, computer science, AI, formal logic, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, along with others, to analyse existing knowledge and synthesise new knowledge
