Artificial intelligence/machine learning model identifier usage

A terminal device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal device at least to:
• send, to a core network device, a request for artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model registration or identification, wherein the request comprises at least one AI/ML model capability of the terminal device;
• and
• receive, from the core network device, a response for the AI/ML model registration or identification, wherein the response comprises an approved or identified list of AI/ML model identifiers (IDs) and at least one AI/ML model delivery preference.

An access network device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the access network device at least to:
• receive, from a core network device, a message comprising a list of approved or identified artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model identifiers (IDs) and contexts for a terminal device;
• and
• store the approved or identified AI/ML model IDs and contexts.

A first core network device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the first core network device at least to:
• receive, from a terminal device, a request for artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model registration or identification, wherein the request comprises at least one AI/ML model capability of the terminal device;
• determine, based on the at least one AI/ML model capability, a list of AI/ML model identifiers (IDs) for the terminal device;
• and
• send, to the terminal device, a response for the AI/ML model registration or identification, wherein the response comprises a list of approved or identified AI/ML model IDs and at least one AI/ML model delivery preference.
