Understanding Levels of Network Autonomy

Levels four and five of network autonomy represent significant milestones in the transition towards fully autonomous networks. Level four indicates a highly autonomous network making decisions largely independently, whereas level five denotes complete self-management without any human intervention. Within level four, entities can be further divided into 4A and 4B, with 4A utilizing a simple agent system and 4B employing more complex multi-agent systems. This delineation emphasizes the gradual sophistication required to achieve full network autonomy, illustrating the extendable roadmap that telecom companies must navigate to realize these advancements.
