Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional RAN nodes use limited parameters for QoE management, then the system structure remains simple, but the adaptability to future scenarios is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to future scenariosVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

An AI model is introduced as an intermediary component between the RAN node and QoE management decisions. The AI model processes limited RAN parameters and transforms them into comprehensive future scenario predictions, enabling adaptability without directly expanding the core RAN node structure. This mediator approach allows the system to handle complex future scenarios using current limited parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary QoE parameter collection and AI model training using historical data before actual future scenarios occur. By pre-training the AI model on past QoE data and patterns, the system prepares predictive capabilities in advance, enabling it to handle future scenarios adaptively without requiring real-time complex data collection during those future events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If RAN nodes use limited RAN aware parameters for service fulfillment checking, then the device complexity is low, but the QoE management effectiveness is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveQoE management effectivenessVSAvoidparameter processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/algorithmic QoE checking methods with an AI-based predictive system. Instead of using conventional threshold-based or rule-based approaches to evaluate service fulfillment, the system substitutes these with machine learning models that can infer service quality from limited parameters, significantly improving reliability while abstracting away the complexity through the AI layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where QoE measurement results are continuously fed back into the AI model for retraining and refinement. This feedback loop allows the model to progressively improve its predictions based on actual observed QoE data, enhancing the effectiveness of service fulfillment checking over time while managing complexity through iterative improvement rather than requiring complex initial designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If AI models are trained using historical QoE data, then the adaptability to future scenarios improves, but the loss of time for training and data collection increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive capability for future scenariosVSAvoidtraining data collection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The AI model is trained in advance using historical QoE data collected during network operation. This preliminary training action is performed before the network needs to handle future scenarios, allowing the model to be ready for predictive tasks without requiring real-time training during critical future events. The training phase is completed beforehand, eliminating the need for time-consuming on-demand training when future scenarios arise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes its own historical operational data and QoE measurements to train the AI model autonomously. By self-training on its past performance data, the network system can improve its predictive capabilities without requiring external intervention or additional time for model development. The system serves its own training needs by leveraging existing internal data resources, reducing the need for separate time-consuming training operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
