Initial report on orchestration and monitoring solutions and cybersecurity threats for 6G-NTN

This deliverable describes the proposed orchestration and management architectures for 6G networks over ad hoc constellations. The main focus will be drawn on the split of different functions and VNFs across the proposed architecture in WP2 with a particular attention on open interfaces and generic frameworks for integrating AI and ML algorithms. the document will also assess the cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities induced by the proposed virtualization framework. A comprehensive threat analysis stemming from extending the 6G network to the satellite payloads will be conducted. Led by Task 5.2 with input from Task 5.3.
