transport layers, it will be paramount to<br />
combine data from RAN and non-RAN<br />
sources and introduce machine<br />
learning-enabled automation to create<br />
algorithms for use cases that operate<br />
across all these data sources.<br />
Today, automation is popping up<br />
almost everywhere in the network, and<br />
“closed loops” are considered silver<br />
bullets for killing complexity. A recent<br />
study by Nokia Bell Labs concluded<br />
that closed-loop automation can only<br />

architecture and – even more important<br />
