These 5G-enabled IoT devices will result in a surge in data traffic for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to handle. At the same time, MNOs are preparing for a paradigm shift to decouple the control and forwarding plane in a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) architecture. Artificial Intelligence powered Self-Organising Networks (AI-SON) can fit into the SDN architecture by providing prediction and recommender systems to minimise costs in supporting the MNO’s infrastructure. This paper presents a review report on AI-SON frameworks in 5G and SDN. The review considers the dynamic deployment and functions of the AI-SON frameworks, especially for SDN support and applications. Each module in the frameworks was discussed to ascertain its relevance based on the context of AI-SON and SDN integration. After examining each framework, the identified gaps are summarised as open issues for future works.展开更多
