A Service-Based Management Architecture for Intelligent Cross-Domain Orchestration in 6G Networks

Description

This paper focuses on the design of a Service-Based
Management Architecture (SBMA) that enables intelligent, crossdomain,
and sustainable orchestration. SBMA adopts a servicebased
paradigm to abstract domain heterogeneity, integrates
distributed AI-driven control, and provides a foundation for
achieving unified management. The proposed architecture is
illustrated by mapping specific domains (such as the radio
access (RAN), transport, and core networks) to the architecture,
demonstrating how domain-specific orchestration aligns with
SBMA principles and interfaces. A representative experiment
validates the architecture’s capabilities, and the results show
rapid recovery times for redeploying RAN, core, and transport
components, highlighting the resilience and agility of the proposed
approach.
