Network Challenges
  • 01

    Comprehensive business

    Enter multi-play network business by evolving from B2C to B2X covering myriad of vertical markets like drones, IoV, and AR/VR and more.


  • 02

    Complex O&M

    Coexistence of 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G mobile networks has created multifold of complexity in all aspects of network O&M.

  • 03

    Extensive connections

    Intelligent connectivity has enabled extension to connection density by 100 times, connection volume by 1000 times and mobility speed of up to 150 km/h.

What Is ADN

"Take Complexity, Create Simplicity" is the supreme principle of autonomous driving network (ADN), which is practiced throughout product planning, design, and development at Huawei. Collaborative evolution of network and O&M intelligence is the core of ADN, and in this regard Huawei has produced a three-layered open architecture delivering intelligence for networks and platforms for O&M, enabling telecom operators to accelerate their digital transformation.

The three layers are cloud intelligence, network intelligence, and NE intelligence, which combine to achieve effective ADN.

Cloud intelligence: Telecom knowledge assets are aggregated in the cloud, generating an intelligent platform for data training as well as model generation and optimization. The results are then synchronized to the network and NE layers, ensuring the optimal utilization of up-to-date models.

Network intelligence: At the network management and control layer, big data analysis, intelligent algorithms, and service APIs are adopted to achieve service intent automation, network O&M intelligentization, and network servitization.

NE intelligence: A lightweight intelligent inference framework is embedded at the device layer to provide NE-level short-period awareness analysis and inference capabilities, with inference completed in microseconds.
