AN ORCHESTRATION AGENT UNIT AND METHOD THEREIN IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274297 titled 'AN ORCHESTRATION AGENT UNIT AND METHOD THEREIN IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method performed by an orchestration agent unit for handling a service in a communications network, where the agent evaluates different intent types of the service based on performance metrics and selects an intent type for the service.
- Orchestration agent unit evaluates intent types of a service based on performance metrics related to intent performance in the communications network.
- The agent selects an intent type for the service based on the evaluation.
- An indication indicating the selected intent type of the service is sent to at least one of the orchestration agent units.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Network management systems
- Service provisioning in telecommunications
- Cloud computing environments
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Efficiently handling services in a communications network
- Optimizing performance based on intent types
- Streamlining orchestration processes
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved service delivery
- Enhanced network performance
- Better resource utilization
Potential Commercial Applications
With its capabilities, this technology could be utilized in:
- Telecommunications companies
- Cloud service providers
- Network infrastructure companies
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of intent-based networking in telecommunications networks to optimize service delivery and network performance.
What are the specific performance metrics used to evaluate intent types in this method?
The specific performance metrics used to evaluate intent types in this method are not detailed in the abstract. Further information would be needed to understand the exact metrics employed in the evaluation process.
How does the orchestration agent unit communicate with the other units in the communications network?
The abstract does not provide specific details on how the orchestration agent unit communicates with the other units in the communications network. Understanding the communication protocols and mechanisms used would be essential to fully grasp the implementation of this method.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to embodiments herein e.g. a method performed by an orchestration agent unit for handling a service in a communications network is provided. The orchestration agent unit evaluate a number of intent types of the service based on a performance of one or more performance metrics related to intent of respective intent type when performed in the communications network including a plurality of orchestration agent units. The orchestration agent unit selects an intent type of the service based on the evaluation; and sends to at least one of the plurality of orchestration agent units, an indication indicating the selected intent type of the service.
