An Intent-Based System for Software-Defined Vehicles in 5G Mobile Networks

Abstract

This paper introduces a comprehensive framework for intent-based management of networks, security, and applications in software-defined vehicles (SDVs) within 5G networks. To address the complexities and operational challenges of traditional network management, we propose an Intent-Based system (IBS) that simplifies the administration process by converting highlevel policies into actionable commands or configurations. The practical applicability and robustness of this approach are demonstrated through a testbed implemented using the free5GC platform. Our findings confirm the feasibility of intent-based network management and highlight its potential to enhance operational efficiency and scalability in the rapidly evolving automotive industry.
