A method by a first wireless device, for determining a status of a first cell is described herein. The first wireless device operates in a communications network. The first wireless device sends a request to a plurality of second wireless devices operating in the communications network. The plurality of second wireless devices is within radio range. The request inquires whether or not the first cell is in sleeping state. The first wireless device receives, in response to the sent request, one or more responses from the plurality of second wireless devices. The first wireless device determines whether or not the first cell is in sleeping state, based on the received responses. The methods by a network node and another wireless device receiving an indication indicating a result of the determination are also described.

After or as part of each round of training, the edge node (-) transmits control signaling that indicates an accuracy of the local model (-) as trained through that round of training, that indicates whether another round of training is needed or desired, and/or that indicates whether any further information (-) is needed or desired. The edge node (-) predicts network communication performance at the edge node (-) based on the trained local model (-).

A method of operating a protection node for protecting a pattern classification node from malicious requests may be provided. The protection node may receive, from a user node, a request containing an original pattern to be classified by a machine learning algorithm performed by the pattern classification node. The protection node may add noise to the original pattern to generate a noisy pattern. The protection node may obtain a first classification of the noisy pattern based on processing of the noisy pattern by a first clone of the machine learning algorithm at the protection node; obtain a second classification of the original pattern based forwarding the request for processing of the original pattern by the machine learning algorithm performed at the pattern classification node; and compare the first and second classifications to determine whether the first and second classifications satisfy a defined similarity rule. The protection node may use the comparison to manage the request from the user node.

An operator system of a wireless communication network operator sends, to a regulator system of a regulator, a record that includes information about administration of a subscription identifier associated with the wireless communication network operator. Responsive to sending the record to the regulator system, the operator system receives a response that indicates whether the regulator system approves of or rejects the record being added to a permissioned distributed database that is distributed at least in part between the regulator system and the operator system. The operator system adds or does not add the record to the permissioned distributed database depending on the response.

AM and LM parameters to be used for adapting an ASR model are derived for each audio segment of an audio stream comprising multiple audio programs. A set of identifiers, including a speaker identifier, a speaker domain identifier and a program domain identifier, is obtained for each audio segment. The set of identifiers are used to select most suitable AM and LM parameters for the particular audio segment. The embodiments enable provision of maximum constraints on the AMs and LMs and enable adaptation of the ASR model on the fly for audio streams of multiple audio programs, such as broadcast audio. This means that the embodiments enable selecting AM and LM parameters that are most suitable in terms of ASR performance for each audio segment.
