Shaping the Future of AI/ML in 5G Standards at RAN2#127-bis for 3GPP RAN2 Delegates
Background After RAN#105, the work item on Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) for NR Air Interface (NR_AIML_air; refer to RP-242399 for details) was revised to target enhancing 5G network performance. This evolution builds on prior studies to specify the signaling and protocols needed for AI/ML applications like beam management, positioning, and CSI feedback, ensuring a seamless operation between the network and user equipment (UE). In the previous RAN2#127 meeting, delegates made several key agreements under agenda item 8.1.2.2 - LCM (Life Cycle Management) for the UE-sided model for Beam Management. These included: Definitions: Supported functionalities are those reported by the...
