6G systems are expected to serve a massive number of extremely heterogeneous network slices that cross multiple technological domains (i.e., RAN, edge, cloud, and core), posing significant challenges to classical centralized management and orchestration approaches in terms of scalability and sustainability. Within this context, a distributed and intelligent management and orchestration system is mandatory. This article proposes a novel framework featuring a distributed and AI-driven management and orchestration system for massive deployment of network slices in 6G. The proposed framework is compliant with both ETSI standards focusing on autonomous and intelligent network management and orchestration, that is, Zero touch Service Management (ZSM) and Experimental Networked Intelligent (ENI), leveraging their visions to enable autonomous as well as scalable management and orchestration of network slices and their dedicated resources.

实现 6G 网络切片大规模部署的零接触管理和编排


6G系统预计将服务于跨多个技术领域（即RAN、边缘、云和核心）的大量极其异构的网络切片，这对传统的集中管理和编排方法在可扩展性和可持续性方面提出了重大挑战。在这种背景下，分布式、智能的管理和编排系统是强制性的。本文提出了一种新颖的框架，该框架具有分布式、人工智能驱动的管理和编排系统，用于 6G 中网络切片的大规模部署。所提出的框架符合专注于自主和智能网络管理和编排的 ETSI 标准，即零接触服务管理 (ZSM) 和实验网络智能 (ENI)，利用他们的愿景来实现自主和可扩展的管理和编排网络切片及其专用资源。
