AI is expected to play a vital role in future wireless networks, but changes in feature distribution can impact AI models' performance negatively.
A new method called ALERT has been introduced to detect feature distribution changes, prompting model re-training in scenarios like wireless fingerprinting and link anomaly detection.
ALERT comprises representation learning, statistical testing, and utility assessment components, utilizing MLP for representation learning and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests for statistical testing.
The proposed ALERT method has shown superior performance compared to ten standard drift detection methods in two wireless network use cases.
