1. A computer-implemented method for maintaining a function in a plurality of local entities upon connection disruption to a backend in a communication system including the backend and the plurality of local entities, wherein the backend provides backend information for the function, the method comprising the following steps:
receiving, by the backend, local behavior models from the plurality of the local entities, wherein the local behavior models in the local entities provide the function when particular backend information is not available;
creating a behavior model based on the received local behavior models; and
transmitting the behavior model to a local entity of the plurality of local entities by the backend, wherein the transmitting of the behavior model from the backend occurs when particular events arise including upon degradation of a connection between the backend and the local entity, wherein:
a degradation signal is generated to indicate whether there is a risk of the connection disruption of the local entity to the backend, and
the degradation signal controls a switch so that the local behavior model provides the function when the connection disruption is present or no backend information is available.
