Method, apparatus and computer program

A system comprising:

• an apparatus;
• a terminal;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the following operations:
• receiving, from a network node, an indication of one or more first analytics identities that are supported by the network node, the one or more first analytics identities that are supported by the network node are associated with a tracking area identifier of the network node and network slice support assistance information of the network node;
• receiving, from the terminal, a registration request message, the registration request message comprising a list of requested analytics identifiers that comprise a list of services associated with analytics identifiers that the terminal requests access to;
• accessing subscription information of the terminal, the subscription information comprising one or more second analytics identities that are subscribed to by the terminal, wherein the one or more first analytics identities and the one or more second analytics identities are each associated with respective machine learning models;
• determining a list of authorized analytics identities that are authorized for use by the network node for the terminal, using:
• the received indication of the one or more first analytics identities that are supported by the network node, the subscription information of the terminal, and the registration request message;
• providing, to the network node, the list of authorized analytics identities that are authorized for use by the network node for the terminal;
• determining that the terminal has moved to a radio resource control inactive state;
• and
• causing the terminal to continue to use a machine learning model associated with the at least one of the authorized analytics identities while the terminal is in a radio resource control state, in a radio access network notification area corresponding to a tracking area identifier of the network node that the machine learning model has been authorized in.
