Abstract

It is provided an apparatus comprising: one or more processors, and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to: monitor if a trained model is available at a terminal; inform a network that the trained model is available at the terminal if the trained model is available at the terminal.

Claims (15)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

one or more processors, and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:

monitor if an information is received that a trained model is available at a terminal;

request the terminal to provide the trained model if the information is received from the terminal;

check whether the information received from the terminal comprises an actual value of a first parameter regarding the training of the trained model is received;

decide on a time when to request the terminal to provide the one or more parameters of the trained model based on the actual value of the first parameter;

inhibit the requesting the terminal to provide the trained model earlier than at the decided time;

check whether the information received from the terminal comprises an actual value of a second parameter regarding the training of the trained model;

decide a priority for retrieving the trained model from the terminal based on the actual value of the second parameter; and

configure a radio bearer for the terminal to provide the trained model according to the priority.

2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first parameter and the second parameter, respectively, comprises at least one of a maturity level of the trained model and a status of the trained model.

3 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the apparatus to:

provide a target value of the first parameter and a target value of the second parameter, respectively, to the terminal via a radio resource control command.

4 . The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the target value of the first parameter and the target value of the second parameter, respectively, is received from an operation and maintenance center.
