    Abstract: A method may be implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), including receiving information indicating first applicability conditions and a first configuration for a first artificial intelligence or machine learning (AIML) model category and second applicability conditions and a second configuration for a second AIML model category. It may be determined whether the first AIML model category is applicable to a cell based on the first applicability conditions and first configuration, and whether the second AIML model category is applicable based on the second applicability conditions and second configuration. A report may be sent indicating applicability of the first AIML model category and second AIML category to the cell. It may be determined that the first AIML model category is no longer applicable based on the first configuration. An indication that indicates that the first AIML model category is no longer applicable to the cell may be sent.

The configuration information may comprise one or more measurement conditions. The measurement conditions may be associated with one or more relay WTRUs. The WTRU may determine whether the one or more measurement conditions are satisfied and may determine a priority for each associated relay WTRUs. The priority may be based on the time difference between when the WTRU received the configuration information, and when the WTRU determined an associated measurement condition was satisfied. The WTRU may select between the one or more relay WTRUs based on the determined priority.

  • Publication number: 20260075487
    Abstract: Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products for handover procedures which use network predicted measurements. For example, a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a handover command. The WTRU may receive a first set of measurements from a network. For example, the first set may be predicted measurements. The network may use artificial intelligence and/or machine learning models to generate the first set. The WTRU may obtain (e.g., measure and/or predict) a second set of measurements. The first and/or second set of measurements may be associated with a (e.g., same) first time interval and/or confidence level. Based on a comparison between the first set and second set, the WTRU may determine (i) to execute a handover, in a second time interval, and/or (ii) send feedback information. For example, the WTRU may determine an ideal time to actually execute the handover.
