Y.3173 is an ITU-T Recommendation building upon Y.3172 specifying a framework for evaluation intelligence levels of future networks such as 5G (IMT-2020).[1] This includes:[2][3]

  • Development trend of network intelligence
  • Methods for evaluating network intelligence levels
  • Architectural view for evaluating network intelligence levels

The standard addresses issue in Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) of IMT-2020 networks such as:

  • diversified network deployment scenarios are
  • diversified terminals, such as in Internet of things (IoT)
  • manual decision-making mechanisms
  • mechanisms analysing large amounts of network
  • network connectivity among UEs
  • decoupling of software from the hardware in networks
  • transition towards a service-based intelligent network

Network intelligence is defined as:

Level of application of automation capabilities including those enabled by the integration of artificial intelligence techniques in the network.
