Abstract: A management service producer or data repository of a communication network provides at least one of the following: information about knowledge available for sharing, or knowledge available for sharing, and executes a transfer learning process for sharing at least part of the knowledge. A management service consumer of the communication network generates at least one of the following: a request for information on available knowledge from the management service producer or data repository, a request for available knowledge from the management service producer or data repository, or a request for executing a transfer learning process between the management service producer or data repository and an ML entity or ML-enabled function of the communication network, and
manages the request for available knowledge or the request for executing the transfer learning process, and/or adapts content of the request for available knowledge or the request for executing the transfer learning process.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for cluster based local ML model training host selection in asynchronous federated learning model collection. A method may include transmitting local model parameters following training of a model of at least one network element to a network node to be used to cluster the at least one network element with one or more other network elements. The method may also include training, by one or more network elements selected from the cluster, an aggregated model using the local model parameters. The method may further include transmitting, by the one or more network elements selected from the cluster, updated local model parameters of the at least one network element as a result of the training to the network node.
