LLM 赋能的 NWDAF:迈向 AI 原生 6G 网络智能的一步
阅读原文· arxiv.org研究团队开发了一款兼容开源核心网 Free5GC 的 NWDAF 实现,集成了大语言模型接口,支持操作员通过自然语言与网络交互。系统利用语义嵌入模型将用户意图编码并映射到 7 个预设意图类别,触发分析查询或事件订阅命令,简化传统接口的复杂性。该 NWDAF 支持 AMF 和 SMF 事件订阅、通过 Prometheus 进行实时监控与分析检索,所有功能均可通过对话式界面访问。项目代码与数据集已在 GitHub 开源。
The Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) is central to enabling zero-touch network management in fifth-generation (5G) networks by supporting real-time analytics and closed-loop automation. Despite its critical role, open-source NWDAF implementations remain limited in scope and accessibility. In this paper, we develop an open-source NWDAF, compatible with the open-source core network Free5GC, that collects network data via subscriptions to Network Functions (NFs), and also includes an integrated Large Language Model (LLM) interface that enables natural language interaction with human operators. The interface processes user intents, encodes them using a semantic embedding model, and maps them to one of seven predefined intent categories to trigger analytics queries or event subscription commands. This architecture abstracts the complexity of traditional interfaces, allowing non-expert users to manage network analytics and subscriptions with ease. The system supports Access and Management Function (AMF) and Session Management Function (SMF) event subscriptions, real-time monitoring, and analytics retrieval via Prometheus, all accessible through a conversational interface. By bridging AI-driven intent recognition with standardized network analytics, our implementation enhances operator usability and provides a foundation towards AI-native 6G networks.
