Method and apparatus including event triggered goal change for control loops

A method performed by a device implementing a management entity for wireless communication, the method comprising:

• obtaining a configuration associated with a control loop, the configuration indicating a target performance criteria of a managed entity associated with the device and one or more trigger conditions to update a target value of the target performance criteria within the control loop, wherein the target performance criteria is associated with a plurality of target values comprising the target value, and wherein respective target values of the plurality of target values are associated with a weighting relative to an adjustment of operation of the managed entity;
• adjusting, by the management entity and within the control loop, operation of the managed entity based on the weighting of the respective target values and a difference between a current value of the target performance criteria of the managed entity and the target value of the target performance criteria of the managed entity;
• detecting at least one trigger condition of the one or more trigger conditions;
• performing the update to the target value of the target performance criteria based on the at least one trigger condition;
• and
• adjusting, by the management entity and within the control loop, the operation of the managed entity based on the weighting of the respective target values and a difference between the current value of the target performance criteria of the managed entity and the updated target value of the target performance criteria.

A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
• obtain a configuration associated with a control loop, the configuration indicating a target performance criteria of a managed entity and one or more trigger conditions to update a target value of the target performance criteria within the control loop, wherein the target performance criteria is associated with a plurality of target values comprising the target value, and wherein respective target values of the plurality of target values are associated with a weighting relative to an adjustment of operation of the managed entity;
• adjust, within the control loop, operation of the managed entity based on the weighting of the respective target values and a difference between a current value of the target performance criteria of the managed entity and the target value of the target performance criteria of the managed entity;
• detect at least one trigger condition of the one or more trigger conditions;
• perform the update to the target value of the target performance criteria based on the at least one trigger condition;
• and
• adjust, within the control loop, the operation of the managed entity based on the weighting of the respective target values and a difference between the current value of the target performance criteria of the managed entity and the updated target value of the target performance criteria.
