 An Intent-Based Management Framework for Software-Defined Vehicles in
                   Intelligent Transportation Systems
            draft-jeong-opsawg-intent-based-sdv-framework-00

Abstract

   Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) is a new player towards autonomous
   vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).  An SDV is
   constructed by a software platform like a cloud-native system like
   Kubernetes and has its internal network.  To facilitate the easy and
   efficient configuration of networks in the SDV, an intent-based
   management is an appropriate direction.  This document proposes a
   framework of intent-based management for networks, security, and
   applications in SDVs so that they can communicate with other SDVs and
   infrastructure nodes for safe driving and infotainment services in
   the road networks.

1.  Introduction

   Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) is a new paradigm in Intelligent
   Transportation Systems (ITS).  The SDVs interact with each other and
   infrastructure (e.g., edge servers) for safe driving and infotainment
   services through vehicular networks, as shown in Figure 1.  SDVs can
   communicates with each other via Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V)
   communications.  They can communicate with infrastructure nodes
   (e.g., gNodeB in 5G [TS-23.501]) via Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I)
   communications.

Internet-Draft        An Intent-Based SDV Framework           March 2024

   SDV is regarded as a future platform for autonomous vehicles and
   electric vehicles.  Many automotive-related companies are developing
   the platform of SDVs, such as AUTOSAR [AUTOSAR-SDV] and Eclipse SDV
   [Eclipse-SDV].  An SDV consists of computing devices, operating
   systems, and a cloud-native platform (e.g., Kubernetes [Kubernetes]).
   Kubernetes is an open-source platform for managing containerized
   workloads and services with portability and extendibility.  It can
   facilitate intent-based management with both declarative
   configuration and automation.

   An SDV needs an intent-based management for networks and security
   inside its in-vehicle networks.  An intent is a declarative command
   to request a configuration for a network or security function
   [TS-28.312][TR-28.812].  It emphasizes more on ``What'' is needed
   (i.e., declarative command) to be accomplished than ``How'' it should
   be accomplished (i.e., imperative command).  Since there are a huge
   number of vehicles produced by each automotive company, the networks
   and security for the SDV needs to be remotely configured and
   monitored by a control center of each automotive company.  The in-
   vehicle networks are based on Gigabit Ethernet and can be configured
   as multiple subnets including Electric Control Units (ECU) and
   infotainment devices.  It requires huge overhead for an operator to
   configure and monitor networks and security for those in-vehicle
   networks.

   This document proposes a framework of intent-based management for
   networks, security, and applications in SDVs that are Service
   Functions (SFs).  Such SFs can be contructed and managed by Software-
   Defined Networking (SDN) [RFC7149], Network Functions Virtualization
   (NFV) [ETSI-NFV][ETSI-NFV-Release-2], and Cloud Native Computing
   Platform (e.g., Kubernetes [Kubernetes]).  This framework automates
   the configuration and monitoring for the networks and security in
   each SDV through a vehicular cloud and the SDV's mobile network.  An
   SDV User (i.e., administrator) for the management of SDVs can
   configure and monitor the networks and security through an intent.
   The intent from the SDV User is delivered to a Cloud Controller in
   charge of a vehicular cloud for SDVs.  The Cloud Controller
   translates the intent into the corresponding high-level policy, and
   delivers the high-level policy to an SDV Controller in charge of an
   SDV.  The SDV translates the high-level policy into the corresponding
   low-level policy and delivered it to an appropriate Network Function
   (NF) for a specific service (e.g., router, firewall, and navigator)
   in the SDV.

2.  Terminology

   This document uses the terminology described in [RFC8329],
   [I-D.ietf-i2nsf-applicability],
   [I-D.jeong-i2nsf-security-management-automation],
   [I-D.jeong-nmrg-ibn-network-management-automation], and
   [I-D.yang-i2nsf-security-policy-translation].  In addition, the
   following terms are defined below:

   *  Intent: A set of operational goals (that a network should meet)
      and outcomes (that a network is supposed to deliver) defined in a
      declarative manner without specifying how to achieve or implement
      them [RFC9315].

   *  Intent-Based Management (IBM): It enforces an intent from a user
      (or administrator) into a target system (e.g., SDV).  An intent
      can be expressed as a Natural Language (e.g., English) and can be
      translated into a high-level policy by a Natural Language
      Processing (NLP) [USENIX-ATC-Lumi][BERT] [Deep-Learning].  In this
      document, the intent can be translated into the corresponding
      high-level policy by an intent translator
      [I-D.jeong-i2nsf-security-management-automation].  The high-level
      policy can also be translated into the corresponding low-level
      policy by a policy translator
      [I-D.yang-i2nsf-security-policy-translation].  The low-level
      policy is dispatched to appropriate Service Functions (SFs).
      Through the monitoring of the SFs, the activity and performace of
      the SFs is monitored and analyzed.  If needed, the rules of the
      high-level or low-level network policy are augmented or new rules
      are generated and configured to appropriate SFs.

3.  Intent-Based Management Framework for Software-Defined Vehicles

   SDVs are managed and monitored by the vehicular cloud.  They get help
   for software updates as well as the configuration of their networks
   and security from the vehicular cloud.  Figure 1 shows a vehicular
   network architecture for SDVs.  SDVs as vehicles can communicate with
   each other via V2V and with infrastructure nodes such as IP Road-Side
   Unit (IP-RSU), for example, gNodeB in 5G networks, respectively.
   Edge servers can help SDVs to perform their safe driving by
   processing environmental data collected by the SDVs and giving
   maneuver guidance to the SDVs.

Internet-Draft        An Intent-Based SDV Framework           March 2024

   An SDV has its own internal networks (called in-vehicle networks), as
   shown in Figure 2.  The in-vehicle networks consist of multiple
   subnets connected with each other through routers.  IP On-Board Unit
   (IP-OBU) is a network device in an SDV that has a basic processing
   ability and can be driven by a low-power CPU (e.g., ARM) with 5G
   Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication device [RFC9365].  IP Road-
   Side Unit (IP-RSU) is a network device situated along the road as an
   infrastructure node.  It has at least two distinct IP-enabled
   interfaces where one is for 5G V2X and the other is for the wired
   network connected to the vehicular cloud [RFC9365].  An Edge Network
   (EN) is a radio access network which has an IP-RSU for wireless
   communication with other SDVs having an IP-OBU and wired
   communication with other network devices (e.g., routers, IP-RSUs, and
   edge servers) [RFC9365].  As shown in Figure 2, the IPv6 prefixes
   should be configured for the in-vehicle network (called mobile
   network) and Edge Network (called EN).  Also, for V2X IP networking,
   the wireless interfaces of IP-OBU and IP-RSU should be configured
   with appropriate IPv6 network prefixes and default gateways towards
   the infrastructure network connected to the vehicular cloud.

    Figure 3: Intent-Based Management Framework for Software-Defined
                                Vehicles

   For the automatic network configuration of SDVs, an intent-based
   management is required between the vehicular cloud and SDVs
   [I-D.jeong-nmrg-ibn-network-management-automation].  Figure 3 shows a

Internet-Draft        An Intent-Based SDV Framework           March 2024

   framework of intent-based management for SDVs.  The framework
   consists of a vehicular cloud and SDVs.  The vehicular cloud consists
   of SDV User (as network administrator), Cloud Controller (as an
   orchestrator for a vehicular cloud), SDV Database (as a main
   repository for SDV management and monitoring), and Cloud Analyzer (as
   a monitoring data analyzer for SDVs) such as Network Data Analytics
   Function (NWDAF) in 5G networks [TS-23.288][TS-29.520].  The SDV is
   composed of SDV Controller (as a manager for an SDV), SDV Analyzer
   (as a monitoring data analyzer for an SDV)
   [I-D.jeong-nmrg-ibn-network-management-automation], Vendor's
   Management System (as a vendor system to provide cloud-native
   containers) [RFC8329][I-D.ietf-i2nsf-applicability], and Network
   Functions (NF) such as router, DNS server, and firewall
   [I-D.jeong-nmrg-ibn-network-management-automation].  In this figure,
   interfaces are defined between a pair of system components in the
   vehicular cloud and SDV.  The intent, high-level policy, and low-
   level policy can be either XML documents [RFC6020][RFC7950] or YAML
   documents [YAML].  They can be delivered to the destination
   components via NETCONF [RFC6241], RESTCONF [RFC8040], or REST API
   [REST].

   As shown in Figure 3, the Intent-Based Management SDV Framework
   enforces an intent from an SDV User, which as a user (or
   administrator), into a target system such as SDV.  The intent from
   the SDV User can be translated into the corresponding high-level
   policy by an intent translator in the Cloud Controller of the
   Vehicular Cloud [I-D.jeong-i2nsf-security-management-automation].
   The high-level policy can also be translated into the corresponding
   low-level policy by a policy translator in the SDV Controller of the
   SDV [I-D.yang-i2nsf-security-policy-translation].  The low-level
   policy is dispatched from the SDV Controller to appropriate Service
   Functions (SFs) in the SDV, such as Router, Firewall, and Navigator,
   as shown in the figure.  Through the monitoring of the SFs, the
   activity and performace of the SFs in the SDV is monitored and
   analyzed by the SDV Analyzer in the SDV.  If needed, the rules of the
   high-level or low-level network policy can be augmented by the SDV
   Analyzer.  Also, new rules can be automatically generated and
   configured to appropriate SFs by the SDV Analyzer.

   Therefore, this document proposes a framework of intent-based
   management for networks in a Software-Defined Vehicle (called SDV).
   Through this intent-based management, SDVs can communicate with other
   SDVs and infrastructure nodes (e.g., IP-RSU) via V2X communications
   for safe driving and infotainment services in vehicular networks.  As
   future work, we will design and implement YANG data models for the
   system components and interfaces in the intent-based management
   framework for SDVs.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document does not require any IANA actions.

5.  Security Considerations

   The same security considerations for the Interface to Network
   Security Functions (I2NSF) Framework [RFC8329] are applicable to the
   intent-based management framework this document.
