摘要

面向千行百业的异构网络服务多样性和灵活性需求，构建地面与星上网络按需智能切片编排系统已成为未来网络重要发展方向。网络切片通过资源编排和逻辑隔离，能够有效支持不同天地融合网络的差异化服务需求。传统天地融合网络编排技术在面向动态复杂场景时，易出现编排效率较低、资源调度较难和服务保障较差等问题。意图驱动网络通过自然语言理解技术和闭环动态反馈机制，可为天地融合网络提供自适应性与智能性。基于此，提出了意图驱动天地融合网络切片编排架构及其关键技术，随后搭建了意图驱动天地融合网络智能编排实验平台，具体展示从用户意图输入到网络切片实例化完成的全流程，并对比了3类网络切片类型的平均实例化时间，以评估所提智能编排系统的效用。实验结果验证了意图驱动网络技术在天地融合网络智能编排中的适配性与高效性。

Abstract

To meet the diverse and flexible service demands of heterogeneous networks across various industries

building an on-demand intelligent network slicing and orchestration system that integrates terrestrial and satellite networks has become a crucial direction for future network development. Through resource orchestration and logical isolation

network slicing can effectively support differentiated service requirements in satellite-terrestrial networks. Traditional network orchestration technologies in satellite-terrestrial networks often face challenges such as low orchestration efficiency

difficult resource scheduling

and poor service assurance when dealing with dynamic and complex scenarios. Intent-driven networks

leveraging natural language understanding technology and closed-loop dynamic feedback mechanisms

can provide adaptability and intelligence for satellite-terrestrial networks. Based on this

an intent-driven satellite-terrestrial network slicing orchestration architecture and its key technologies were proposed. Subsequently

an intent-driven satellite-terrestrial network intelligent orchestration experimental platform was established

which specifically demonstrated the entire process from user intent input to network slice instantiation completion. A comparison of the average instantiation time of three types of network slices was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent orchestration system. The experimental results verified the adaptability and efficiency of intent-driven networking technology in the intelligent orchestration of satellite-terrestrial networks.
