ZSM

Technical Explanation

ETSI Zero-Touch Network and Service Management (ZSM) provides end-to-end automation for complex heterogeneous 6G topologies that incorporate terrestrial cells, LEO satellites, and distributed edge clouds. Using declarative service contracts and model-driven autonomous agents, ZSM executes continuous Monitor-Analyze-Plan-Execute (MAPE) loops. It automates onboarding, lifecycle operations, SLA assurance, and automated anomaly root-cause remediation without operator intervention.

Key Functions

• End-to-end automated cross-domain service lifecycle management
• Continuous closed-loop MAPE orchestration (Monitor, Analyze, Plan, Execute)
• Automated SLA monitoring and proactive dynamic resource scaling
• Root-cause AI anomaly detection and self-healing zero-touch recovery
• Integration with intent-based interfaces for declarative infrastructure provisioning
