Abstract

Intent-based networking (IBN) facilitates the representation of consumer expectations in a declarative and domain-independent form. However, mapping intents to service and resource models remains an open challenge. IBN requires handling existing system data in a structured yet flexible structure way. Knowledge graphs provide an efficient conceptual framework for constructing contexts and organizing known information. We utilize knowledge graphs to construct a knowledge-based for modeling of intents in the networking domain. In addition, this work also proposes a knowledge-based intent modeling and processing methodology, extending the standardized intent common model proposed by TM Forum for next-generation cellular networks and services. The proposed knowledge-based IBN approach is demonstrated for next-generation cellular services, validating its potential.
