Abstract

Claims (26)

1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:

configuring a measurement collection for one or more pre-determined optimization problems at a first data producer;

transmitting a first measurement request to the first data producer, wherein the first measurement request is indicative of requested measurement(s) for the one or more pre-determined optimization problems, user equipment identity, user equipment measurements, time sampling indication and granularity;

receiving a measurement response comprising first measurement results corresponding to the first measurement request;

providing the first measurement results to one or more optimization algorithms for solving the one or more pre-determined optimization problems;

configuring a measurement collection for one or more pre-determined optimization problems at a second data producer;

transmitting a second measurement request to the second data producer, wherein the second measurement request is indicative of requested measurement(s) for the one or more pre-determined optimization problems, time sampling indication and granularity;

receiving a measurement response comprising second measurement results corresponding to the second measurement request; and

providing the second measurement results to one or more optimization algorithms for solving the one or more pre-determined optimization problems.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising machine learning algorithm(s) for solving the one or more pre-determined optimization problems using the measurement response.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus further to perform operations comprising

receiving an indication on data availability regarding the one or more pre-determined optimization problems from the first data producer.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first data producer is a user equipment from which measurements are requested.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second measurement request is at least partly different from the first measurement request.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus further to perform operations comprising;

determining performance of training the one or more optimization algorithms; and

transmitting, based on the determined performance of the one or more optimization algorithms, a further measurement request to the first data producer, wherein the further measurement request is at least partly different from the first measurement request.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the determined performance is below a pre-determined threshold, the further measurement request is indicative of

more requested measurements than in the first measurement request; and/or

time sampling indication that indicates higher frequency of measurement sampling than in the first measurement request; and/or

higher granularity than in the first measurement request.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the determined performance is above a pre-determined threshold, the further measurement request is indicative of

less requested measurements than in the first measurement request; and/or

requesting data from lower number of UEs than in the first measurement request; and/or

time sampling indication that indicates lower frequency of measurement sampling than in the first measurement request; and/or

lower granularity than in the first measurement request.
