Artificial intelligence and machine learning parameter provisioning

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. For Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML)-related external parameter provision in a mobile communication system comprising a unified data manager (UDM), a network function (NF), an AI/ML application function (AF), a network exposure function (NEF), a unified data repository (UDR), and one or more user equipment (UE), a method includes receiving, at the UDM from the NF, a subscribe request including a request for a parameter, receiving, at the UDM from the AI/ML AF via the NEF, a parameter provision request including a parameter value for the parameter and an evaluation metric associated with the parameter value, determining, by the UDM, whether to update the UDR with the parameter value based on a threshold associated with the parameter and the evaluation metric, and if it is determined to update the UDR, updating, by the UDR, the UDR with the parameter value, and transmitting, by the UDM to the NF, a notification of the updated parameter value.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
