Abstract: A system and/or method for automated ML model retraining by an electronic device. The system and/or method may include one or more of: running a first ML model and a second ML model, predicting an accuracy degradation of the first ML model using the second ML model, determining whether the predicted accuracy degradation meets a pre-defined threshold, and/or retraining the first ML model when the predicted accuracy degradation meets the pre-defined threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: executing, in a first mode of operation, a MIMO for one or more user devices eligible to transmit data in a slot of a packet scheduler, to generate MIMO operation outputs; obtaining, in a second mode of operation, estimated MIMO operation outputs for said one or more user devices from a lookup table; and determining whether to operate in the first mode of operation or the second mode operation.

Abstract: The embodiments herein disclose a method for managing machine learning (ML) services in a wireless communication network. The method includes: storing a plurality of ML packages, each executing a network service request; receiving a trigger based on the network service request from a server; determining a plurality of parameters corresponding to the network service request, on receiving the trigger from the server; determining an ML package based on the trigger and the plurality of parameters corresponding to the network service request; and deploying the determined at least one ML package for executing the network service request.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by an operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) controller for facilitating continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI-CD) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a network slice management service (NSMS) consumer, a request to trigger a test upgraded technique for a network function (NF), wherein the request to trigger the test upgraded technique comprises at least one parameter indicated as part of a test network slice information object class (IOC); receiving, from the NSMS consumer, a trigger test response based on the request to trigger the test upgraded technique; and configuring at least one user equipment (UE) with at least one test slice identifier based on the trigger test response.

Abstract: In case a first set of N user equipments attached to a radio access network via an apparatus does not exceed a maximum number M, the apparatus performs (S41) real-time and non-real-time processing for the N user equipments. In case N exceeds M, the apparatus performs (S43) real-time and non-real-time processing for a second set of M user equipments contained within the first set and forwards non-real-time processing of a third set of N-M user equipments contained within the first set but not contained within the second set to a central unit which stores (S51) context information of the user equipments of the first set and performs (S53) non-real-time processing of the user equipments of the third set.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to an apparatus (2) comprising means configured for: receiving (T1), from an apparatus (4) associated with a radio cell, data specifying cell level parameters and computing resources availability, selecting (T2), based on the cell level parameters and computing resources availability, a set of radio resources management algorithms, sending (T3), to the apparatus (4) associated with the radio cell, data specifying the selected set of radio resources management algorithms.

Abstract: A method includes receiving from a core network entity a paging message including a permanent user identity of a user for a specific user equipment, and determining, using the permanent user identity, a set of small cells to which the paging message should be sent based on a small cell last visited by the specific user equipment and small cells that are neighbors to the last-visited small cell. The paging message, without the permanent user identity, is sent to the determined set of small cells. Another method includes, responsive to determining a paging message for a specific user equipment is to be communicated toward the specific user equipment, determining whether a gateway can receive paging messages comprising a permanent user identity and a temporary user identity, and responsive thereto, sending the paging message for the specific user equipment to the gateway. Apparatus and computer program products are also disclosed.
