Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure relate to solutions for configuring measurements and predictions for artificial intelligence or machine learning mobility use cases. In an aspect, a first device performs at least one first layer 1 (L1) measurement associated with a first cell. The first device then determines at least one predicted result of at least one predicted layer 3 (L3) measurement associated with the predetermined time period and at least one of the first cell or the second cell based on the at least one first L1 measurement. The first device then transmits at least one predicted result of the at least one predicted L3 measurement to the second device.
