scope:

This Recommendation specifies a functional architecture of quality of service (QoS) assurance based on machine learning (ML) for the international mobile telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020) network. This Recommendation includes:

- an overview of the architectural framework for ML in the IMT-2020 network [ITU-T Y.3172];

- the functional architecture of ML-based QoS assurance for the IMT-2020 network;

- reference points of ML-based QoS assurance for the IMT-2020 network;

- procedures of ML-based QoS assurance for the IMT-2020 network.

This Recommendation uses ML only in the context of QoS assurance decision making. Therefore any other use of ML lies outside the scope of this Recommendation.
