Aiming to outline the vision of realizing automated and intelligent communication networks in the era of intelligence, this book describes the development history, application scenarios, theories, architectures, and key technologies of Huawei's Autonomous Driving Network (ADN) solution.

In the book, the authors explain the design of the top-level architecture, hierarchical architecture (ANE, NetGraph, and AI Native NE), and key feature architecture (distributed AI and endogenous security) that underpin Huawei's ADN solution. The book delves into various key technologies, including trustworthy AI, distributed AI, digital twin, network simulation, digitization of knowledge and expertise, human-machine symbiosis, NE endogenous intelligence, and endogenous security. It also provides an overview of the standards and level evaluation methods defined by industry and standards organizations, and uses Huawei's ADN solution as an example to illustrate how to implement AN.

Autonomous Networks (AN), a product of the mutual development between network and digital technologies, has become an indispensable capability for future networks. It will help coordinate network devices and management systems, improve network intelligence, enable intelligent services, and promote transformation toward digital, automated, and intelligent infrastructure.

The emergence of 5G and other next-generation information technologies is expediting today’s innovations and breakthroughs. As computing power and networks become more deeply integrated, new information infrastructures are enabling digital upgrade and reconstruction of production organizations, objects, tools, and modes in various industries – this in turn is facilitating digital transformation across society as a whole. One of the major driving forces powering the industrialization of digital technologies and the digitalization of various industries is AN, which offers a Zero-X (zero-wait, zero-trouble, and zero-touch) and Self-X (self-configuration, self-healing, and self-optimizing) experience.

This book is an essential reference for professionals and researchers who want to gain a deeper understanding of automated and intelligent communication networks and their applications.
