scope:

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

• an overview of requirements for ML-based QoS assurance for QKDN;

• a functional architecture enhancement for ML-based QoS assurance for QKDN;

• reference points for ML-based QoS assurance for QKDN;

• a procedure for ML-based QoS assurance for QKDN.

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