Mobile 5G Network Management Based on Semantic Computing

Project Goals

This is a joint research and development project with Nokia Networks studying how semantic computing can be utilized in managing 5G mobile networks.

This project is part of the Nokia Center for Advanced Research (NCAR) activities and has been financed by Tekes and Nokia.

Advanced automation is needed in future mobile networks to provide adequate service quality economically and with high reliability. In this paper, a system is presented that takes into account the network context, analyses uncertain information, and infers network configurations by means of probabilistic reasoning. The system introduced in this paper is an experimental platform integrating a mobile network simulator, a Markov Logic Network (MLN) model, and an OWL 2 ontology into a runtime environment that can be monitored via a Resource Description Framework (RDF) -based user interface. In this approach, the OWL ontology contains a semantic representation of the relevant concepts, and the MLN model evaluates elements of uncertain information. Experiments based on a prototype implementation demonstrate the value of semantic modelling and probabilistic reasoning in network status characterization, optimization, and visualization.

Abstract—Network management activities, such as fault analysis and configuration management, are eventually related to changes in network measurements. Some measurement event might be either a trigger or objective of a management activity. We argue that sharing the semantics of performance data across networks provides a basis for more advanced automation. This paper presents an ontology-based system for sharing information about network measurements across network domains. The represented information contains correlations and human-defined mappings between network measurements and the system is based on semantic reasoning that identifies dependencies which arise by combining local and shared information.We demonstrate the usage of the system in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network domain. Our experiments from an LTE simulator and LTE test network show that a combination of correlations, human defined mappings, and ontological reasoning produces useful cross-domain information that can be accessed with ontology queries.
