[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] A CELL REPLACEMENT SYSTEM IN BEYOND 5G AND 6G

[0003] NETWORKS

[0004] Technical Field

[0005] The present invention relates to a system for providing artificial intelligence and machine learning-aided cell change in beyond 5G and 6G mobile communication networks.

[0006] Background of the Invention

[0007] Although 4G and 5G mobile communications systems have made significant make progress in providing high-speed data transmission and wide coverage, these technologies may remain incapable in some cases. Today, users need to download and upload a large amount of data anytime and anywhere and this becomes even more prominent with the widespread use of social media, video streaming, cloud services and other data-intensive applications. Furthermore, ensuring a seamless service experience is vital, especially in business, healthcare and emergency situations. Therefore, it has become inevitable to develop advanced technology solutions which provide higher speeds, lower latency and wider coverage beyond the existing network infrastructures. And this pushes the limits of mobile communication systems in a world where permanent connection and fast data access are critical.

[0008] Therefore, considering the studies and deficiencies included in the current technique, it is understood that there is a need for a system for providing artificial intelligence and machine learning-aided cell change in beyond 5G and 6G mobile communication networks. The United States patent document no. US2024107597, an application included in the state of the art, discloses enhancing wireless communication efficiency in 5G / 6G networks through AI / ML model management and deployment. The said invention presents methods of leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI / ML) models to enhance wireless communications efficiency in 5G / 6G networks. The processes comprise storing, configuring, and transferring AI / ML models within base stations and user equipment (UE) devices and this allows for localized decision-making and improved network performance. Dynamic model activation / deactivation, model compression / decompression, and encoding / decoding method negotiation are among the features. Periodic or condition-driven model updates ensure responsiveness capability to network changes and also model replacements enable upgrades and iterations. The system facilitates seamless handovers between base stations and shares information about model capabilities and UE specifics. Model storage and configuration can also be carried out in the UE and this empowers it for local decision-making in variable or challenging network conditions. These techniques contribute to significant performance, efficiency, and reliability improvements in 5G / 6G wireless networks.
