Open networks become difficult to operate if every component has to be configured independently. Automation is therefore a core part of Open6GE. Through SMO, RIC and OTAF, the Open Telecom Automation Framework, the architecture supports lifecycle and policy management across RAN, Core and cloud infrastructure.
This allows network intelligence to operate across multiple timescales: Non-Real-Time to rApps, Near-Real-Time to xApps, and Real-Time or RAN-local to dApps. Together they create a hierarchical automation model that can progressively move telecom networks toward autonomous operation.
The same framework carries network slice lifecycle management, intent and policy handling, and closed-loop optimization over the O1, A1 and E2 interfaces.
