Study on application layer support for AI/ML services
The present document is a technical report which identifies the application enabling layer architecture, capabilities, and services to support AI/ML services at the application layer.
The aspects of the study include the investigation of application enablement impacts, the application enablement layer architecture enhancements and solutions needed to provide assistance in AI/ML operations (model distribution, transfer and training) at the VAL layer as well as at the application enablement layer (e.g., SEAL ADAES, EDGEAPP).
The study takes into consideration the work done for AI/ML in 3GPP TS 23.288 [2] and Rel-18 AIMLsys (3GPP TS 23.501 [5] and 3GPP TS 23.502 [6]), 3GPP TS 28.104 [3] and may consider other related work outside 3GPP.
