Abstract
An apparatus for use by a communication network control element or function configured to control a setting of parameters of a self-organizing communication network, the apparatus comprising at least one processing circuitry, and at least one memory for storing instructions to be executed by the processing circuitry, wherein the at least one memory and the instructions are configured to, with the at least one processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least: to obtain a pre-trained network optimization model indicating a mapping between a communication network environment forming an input of the model, optimization actions or decisions forming an output of the model, and system performance indicators forming a reward, to cause sending, to at least one communication network element or function forming a part of the self-organizing communication network, a request for providing similarity data for a similarity analysis allowing to determine a similarity between a part of the self-organizing communication network for which the pre-trained network optimization model is derived and a part of the self-organizing communication network of the at least one communication network element or function to which the request is sent, to perform the similarity analysis for determining a similarity between the part of the self-organizing communication network for which the pre-trained network optimization model is derived and each part of the self-organizing communication network for which similarity data for the similarity analysis are received, to determine, on the basis of the similarity analysis, at least a part of the pre-trained network optimization model to be provided to the at least one communication network element or function forming a part of the self-organizing communication network from which the similarity data are received, and to cause sending of the determined part of the pre-trained network optimization model to the at least one communication network element or function forming a part of the self-organizing communication network from which the similarity data are received.
