METHODS, APPARATUS AND MACHINE-READABLE MEDIA RELATING TO MACHINE-LEARNING IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

A method performed by a co-ordination network entity in a communications network includes transmitting a request message to a network registration entity in the communications network for identification information for a plurality of candidate network entities in the communications network capable of performing collaborative learning, and receiving identification information for the plurality of candidate network entities from the network registration entity. The method further includes initiating, at one or more network entities of the plurality of candidate network entities, training of a model using a machine-learning algorithm as part of a collaborative learning process.
