EVENT-DRIVEN PROVISIONING ARCHITECTURES FOR MODERN TELECOM NETWORKS: OVERCOMING LEGACY LIMITATIONS AND ENABLING AUTONOMOUS 6G OPERATIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Telecommunications industry is preparing to enter the post-5G phase, and the paper undertakes the task of outlining the pillars and visionary future that shape the course of the 6G wireless communication systems. As the industry recognizes the insatiable need to increase data rates and expand network coverage, this article traces the evolution of the current 5G infrastructure to the emerging 6G framework, which lays the groundwork for revolutionary strides in the 2030s. This review examines the transformation of telecom provisioning from outdated, tightly interlinked systems to contemporary, event-driven, cloud-native architectures that sustain the growth of intelligent, scalable communication networks. It highlights the disadvantages of SOA-based systems and illustrates how Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) offers greater modularity, faster responsiveness, and real-time processing. The paper discusses infrastructure auditing, the 5G transition, and security improvements as part of modernization processes, while considering integration challenges in mixed, multi-supplier environments. It further analyzes the use of Kafka and similar streaming technologies for the purpose of automated user provisioning, which in turn, leads to higher operational efficiency. The research forecasts 6G and identifies major architectural paradigms and enabling technologies such as AI, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), and blockchain, highlighting their role in creating resilient telecom systems ready for the future.
