  • Patent number: 12683872
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An access and mobility management function (AMF) may register a configuration of one or more RAN entities to a network repository function (NRF). The AMF may register information associated with a device with a UDM. A network data analytics function (NWDAF) may perform RAN discovery via the NRF, the UDM, or both. The NWDAF may receive an analytics request from a device, and the NWDAF may query the NRF, the UDM, or both for information about one or more targets of the analytics request, and the NWDAF may receive such information from the NRF, the UDM, or both. The NWDAF may transmit a data collection request to the RAN and the NWDAF may receive data back from the RAN.

  • Publication number: 20260129667
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a control message that includes a list of associated identifiers (IDs), and the control message may further indicate whether each associated ID included in the list is a current associated ID or a future associated ID (e.g., whether a respective associated ID represents a current or future network-side additional condition). In some aspects, the information indicating whether an associated ID is a current of future associated ID may be conveyed to the UE explicitly or implicitly. In some examples, the UE may receive an indication of a priority across associated IDs included in the list. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may receive an indication of a priority across inference configurations for one or more current associated IDs. The priority may be configured across associated IDs and used to determine which associated ID(s) to prioritize.

  • Publication number: 20260128960
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques may enable a network entity to update a training data collection configuration for performing, logging, or reporting measurements of a set of training resources. For example, a user equipment (UE) may perform and log measurements of the set of training resources according to the training data collection configuration. The UE may indicate the logged measurements to the network entity, and the network entity may update the training data collection configuration, or may pause or initiate training data collection. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may indicate a request for the network entity to update the training data collection configuration or to pause or initiate training data collection. The network entity may accordingly update the training data collection configuration.

  • Publication number: 20260113254
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a request to report a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with one or more artificial intelligence (AI) functions operated by the UE. In response to receiving the request, the UE may determine the KPIs. In some examples, in response to determining the KPIs, the UE may transmit a report including an indication of the KPIs to one or more network functions, where the one or more network functions may utilize such KPIs to adjust one or more parameters at the UE, adjust the AI functions operated at the UE, or both. Accordingly, the UE may receive management information from the one or more network functions indicating the adjustment to the one or more parameters at the UE, the adjustment to the AI functions operated by the UE, or both.

  • Patent number: 12609870
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message from a network entity indicating a set of machine learning models, a set of parameter sets, or both and one or more usage conditions associated with the machine learning models and parameter sets. Based on a usage condition being satisfied, the UE may select a machine learning model, a parameter set, or both for generating a machine learning inference. For example, the UE may select the machine learning model or the parameter set based on a priority, whether sufficient input data is provided, or based on other usage conditions. The UE may generate the machine learning inference using the selected machine learning model or the selected parameter set, and the UE may transmit a report indicating an output of the machine learning inference to the network entity.
