    Abstract: A computing node to implement an RL management entity in an NG wireless network includes a NIC and processing circuitry coupled to the NIC. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a plurality of network measurements for a corresponding plurality of network functions. The functions are configured as a plurality of ML models forming a multi-level hierarchy. Control signaling from an ML model of the plurality is decoded, the ML model being at a predetermined level (e.g., a lowest level) in the hierarchy. The control signaling is responsive to a corresponding network measurement and at least second control signaling from a second ML model at a level that is higher than the predetermined level. A plurality of reward functions is generated for training the ML models, based on the control signaling from the MLO model at the predetermined level in the multi-level hierarchy.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discusses network energy savings (NES) machine learning (ML) models that predict NES parameters used to adjust control parameters of respective network nodes in a wireless network, wherein the NES parameters can be used by the respective network nodes to adjust their control parameters, such that the wireless network realizes or achieves NES as a whole. The wireless network is represented as a graph with heterogeneous vertices that represent corresponding network nodes and edges that represent connections between the network nodes. The NES ML model comprises a graph neural network (GNN) and a fully connected neural network (FCNN). The GNN may be a graph convolutional neural network or a graph attention network. The FCNN may be a multi-layer perceptron, a deep neural network, and/or some other type of neural network. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
