AIML model transfer learning is beneficial for lowing cost and raising effective when training a model using a target UE based on a pre-training model. The principle of transfer learning is to use the knowledge from the source domain to train a model in the target domain to achieve more expedient and higher accuracy efficiency
[25].
Since the AI model is a kind of knowledge, when the centralized application server acquires enough number of AIML model used by UEs, it may perform a backward inference/inversion attacks
[27] to derive the feature of UE's local data set, which means a privacy risk exists. In order to resolve the privacy concern for transfer learning, the model transfer via direct device connection is a better to be used so that the network node (e.g. application server) cannot acquire the AIML model used by UE and no way to do backward inference.
Alice is a customer of intelligent-driving service provided by company-A. She lives in Chaoyang district in Beijing and driving to her office building in CBD every working day. By using the intelligent driving service, Alice's car can predict the trajectory of neighbouring vehicles (as
Figure 6.2-2 shows), so as to pre-alert Alice of some potential collision and Alice can decide whether to steer, accelerate, or any other driving operation.
An AIML model can be for the object recognition and prediction, the model is offered by company-A and customers of company-A have signed "smart driving project" (an agreement for AIML model sharing and improvement).
Thanks to 5GS assisted AIML model transfer via direct device connection, Bob's car efficiently gets an ideal AIML model for intelligent-driving by means of transfer learning.
In
clause 6.9 of TS 22.261 v18.6.1
The 5G system shall support different traffic flows of a remote UE to be relayed via different indirect network connection paths.
The connection between a remote UE and a relay UE shall be able to use 3GPP RAT or non-3GPP RAT and use licensed or unlicensed band.
The connection between a remote UE and a relay UE shall be able to use fixed broadband technology.
The 5G system shall be able to provide indication to a remote UE (alternatively, an authorized user) on the quality of currently available indirect network connection paths.
The 5G system shall be able to maintain service continuity of indirect network connection for a remote UE when the communication path to the network changes (i.e. change of one or more of the relay UEs, change of the gNB).
The 5G system shall be able to support a UE using simultaneous indirect and direct network connection mode.
The 5G system shall enable the network operator to authorize a UE to use indirect network connection. The authorization shall be able to be restricted to using only relay UEs belonging to the same network operator. The authorization shall be able to be restricted to only relay UEs belonging to the same application layer group.
In
clause 6.40 of TS 22.261 v18.6.1
Subject to user consent, operator policy and regulatory requirements, the 5G system shall be able to expose information (e.g. candidate UEs) to an authorized 3rd party to assist the 3rd party to determine member(s) of a group of UEs (e.g. UEs of a FL group).
[P.R.6.2-001]
Based on user consent and 3rd party request, operator policy, the 5G system shall support a means to authorize specific UEs to transmit data (e.g. AI-ML model tansfer for a specific application) via direct device connection in a certain location and time.
[P.R.6.2-002]
Subject to user consent and operator policy, the 5G system shall be able to expose information to an authorized 3rd party to assist the 3rd party to determine candidate UEs for data transmission via direct device connection (e.g. for AIML model transfer).
[P.R.6.2-003]
The 5G system shall be able to support transmitting an AI/ML model via direct device connection fulfilling the KPIs for transmission of typical AIML model for trajectory prediction and object recognition

NOTE 1:
The transfer learning does not have a very high requirement for transmission latency since it is not a real-time inference service, hence it assumes the model transmission via direct device connection should be finished in 3 seconds.
