Machine learning group switching

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• switch from a first machine learning (ML) group to a second ML group based at least in part on one or more of a switching rule, an ML group configuration, a model configuration, or an expiration of a timer, wherein each of the first ML group and the second ML group includes a respective plurality of ML models, and wherein to switch from the first ML group to the second ML group, the one or more processors are configured to stop a use of ML models associated with the first ML group and start a use of ML models associated with the second ML group;
• and
• perform an action associated with wireless communication based at least in part on a model developed with the second ML group.

A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• generate an indication on whether a user equipment (UE) is to switch from a first machine learning (ML) group to a second ML group, wherein each of the first ML group and the second ML group includes a respective plurality of ML models, and wherein the indication to switch comprises an indication to stop a use of ML models associated with the first ML group and start a use of ML models associated with the second ML group;
• and
• transmit the indication to the UE.

A method of wireless communication performed by a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving an indication on whether to switch from a first machine learning (ML) group to a second ML group or to continue with the first ML group, wherein each of the first ML group and the second ML group includes a respective plurality of ML models;
• switching to the second ML group if the indication is to switch, wherein switching to the second ML group includes stopping use of ML models associated with the first ML group and starting use of ML models associated with the second ML group;
• and
• performing a first action associated with wireless communication based at least in part on a first model developed with the first ML group if the indication is to continue or a second action associated with wireless communication based at least in part on a second model developed with the second ML group if the indication is to switch.
