Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method of a time synchronization service for federated learning (FL) in a fifth generation (5G) network. The method includes receiving, by an artificial intelligence/machine learning function (AIMLF), a subscription request for UE capability information for an FL time synchronization service from an artificial intelligence/machine learning application function (AIML AF) and transmitting, by the AIMLF, the UE capability information to the AIML AF, in response to the subscription request.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of a time synchronization service for federated learning (FL) of user equipment (UE) in a fifth generation (5G) network, the method comprising: receiving, by an artificial intelligence/machine learning function (AIMLF), a subscription request for UE capability information for an FL time synchronization service from an artificial intelligence/machine learning application function (AIML AF); and transmitting, by the AIMLF, the UE capability information to the AIML AF, in response to the subscription request. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capability information comprises availability of the UE and a capability of the UE for the FL. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving comprises: receiving, by a network exposure function (NEF), the subscription request from the AIML AF; and receiving, by the AIMLF, the subscription request from the NEF. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting comprises: transmitting, by the AIMLF, the UE capability information to a network exposure function (NEF); and transmitting, by the NEF, the UE capability information to the AIML AF. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subscription request comprises a data network name (DNN) and single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI). 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the subscription request further comprises a list of identifications (IDs) of pieces of the UE. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the list is intended to limit subscription to the UE capability information of one or more pieces of UE among pieces of the UE.
