Samsung patents method for 5G/6G networks to collect data for AI models

Samsung has been granted a patent for a method allowing base stations in 5G or 6G networks to request and receive data needed to support artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks. The system uses specific messages between network entities to define how, where, and why data is collected for training or updating these AI models.

Why it mattersThis filing outlines the underlying infrastructure for managing AI models within future mobile networks, which could lead to more efficient and adaptive wireless communication systems.

In the filing’s own words

The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6th generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method for supporting Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) by a first network entity in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a second network entity, a data collection request message related to data collection for supporting the AI/ML, and receiving, from the second network entity, a data collection response message based on a successful operation related to the data collection.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method for supporting artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) performed by a first base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting, to a second base station, a data collection request message related to data collection for supporting the AI/ML; and receiving, from the second base station, a data collection response message based on a successful operation related to the data collection, wherein the data collection request message includes: information indicating a frequency for reporting related to the data collection, information indicating whether the data collection is to be performed at a user equipment (UE)-side, a network-side, or both the UE-side and the network-side, information indicating whether an AI/ML model for the data collection is registered at the UE-side, the network-side or both the UE-side and the network-side, information indicating whether the AI/ML model is identified based on an identifier of the AI/ML model, functionality of the AI/ML model or both the identifier and the functionality of the AI/ML model, information indicating a purpose of the data collection among a plurality of predefined purposes including monitoring of a given AI/ML model, updating of the given AI/ML model, training of the given AI/ML model, activation of the given AI/ML model, deactivation of the given AI/ML model, and switching of the given AI/ML model to at least one another AI/ML model, and information indicating whether the data collection is performed through online, or offline.
