Abstract

The invention relates to an intent-based network management system that enables service requests in 6G communication networks to be received via natural language or structured intent statements, converted into technical network parameters by AI agents, and the relevant network resources to be autonomously orchestrated. The system consists of an intent understanding and translation engine, an AI agent orchestrator, a service resource matching module, an inter-agent negotiation protocol, an autonomous service lifecycle manager, and a learning optimization engine. After receiving a user request, the appropriate RAN, Core, Edge, Transport, Security, and Slice agents are assigned; resources are optimized, the final configuration is created, and the service is automatically deployed. The system also continuously monitors performance, detects anomalies, and performs auto-scaling and self-healing processes. By learning from past service experiences, it makes future service deployments faster, more accurate, and more efficient.
