AI/ML for core network: slice SLA prediction, NF scaling, threat detection

Predictive Slice SLA Assurance

AI/ML enables proactive slice SLA management by predicting potential violations before they impact subscribers. Models trained on historical slice KPIs (throughput, latency, packet loss) learn patterns that precede SLA breaches -- such as gradual session count increases approaching capacity limits. NWDAF provides slice load analytics (Analytics ID: Load level information) that feeds prediction models in the PCF or external assurance platforms. When a predicted SLA violation is detected, the system can trigger automated remediation: scaling NF instances, adjusting admission control policies,…
