1 Scope
The present document specifies a Proof of Concept (PoC) framework for use within ETSI ENI ISG, to coordinate and
promote public demonstrations which validate key technical components developed in ENI.
The primary PoC objectives - to illustrate the use of AI/ML techniques in support of mobile network operations, build
commercial awareness and confidence in this emerging technology area, and encourage development of an open
ecosystem by integrating components from different contributors.
This framework outlines:
• rationale for ENI ISG PoCs;
• the ENI ISG PoC process;
• submission, format and criteria for ENI ISG PoC Proposals;
• review and acceptance criteria of PoC Proposals;
• ENI ISG PoC Report format and requirements;
• ETSI support for PoC team.
The present publication is revised to include; e.g.:
• the ENI System Architecture;
• the ENI new Requirements and Use Cases;
• the ENI measurability criteria.

4 ENI ISG PoC Framework
4.1 Rationale
The ENI system is an innovative, policy-based, model-driven functional entity that improves operator experience. It
does not simply address automation - it also assists with the decision-making capability of humans, as well as machines.
The goal is to enable the system to be more maintainable, reliable, and provide context-aware services that meet the
needs of the business.
Proof of Concepts are an important tool to demonstrate ENI as a viable technology. Results from PoCs may guide the
work in the ENI ISG by providing feedback on interoperability and other technical challenges. The public
demonstration of these ENI concepts
