Solution Overview

Problem

Current network optimization systems are inefficient, inaccurate, and not scalable, as they do not account for future population density and consumer density when planning network expansion, leading to ineffective and incomplete network coverage.

Innovation Solution

A density-based network prediction and optimization system that uses a processor, data analyzer, node analyzer, and node optimizer to cluster consumers based on projected growth and optimize consumer spread, considering geospatial locations, consumer density data, and other factors to determine optimal network locations and resource allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current network optimization methods are used, then network expansion can be implemented, but the system is inefficient, inaccurate, and not scalable due to ad-hoc approach and equal density assumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork optimization accuracyVSAvoidnetwork expansion efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by predicting future population density and consumer density before network expansion decisions are made. The density-based clustering algorithm pre-processes geospatial data, population data, and consumer data to identify optimal network locations in advance, rather than reacting ad-hoc to current conditions. This allows the system to proactively plan network expansion based on projected future needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of density calculation from equal/uniform density assumption to variable density-based clustering. By using density-based spatial clustering (DBSCAN) algorithm, the system dynamically adjusts clustering parameters based on actual population density and consumer density variations across different geographic regions, enabling more accurate and scalable network optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If equal density of centralized data locations is assumed, then network locations can be determined, but the method is ineffective and incomplete for sparse population areas and future growth regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork location determinationVSAvoidnetwork coverage effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by allowing different regions to have different density characteristics. Instead of imposing a uniform density assumption across all areas, the density-based clustering algorithm adapts to local density variations, identifying clusters in high-density urban areas while also detecting sparse clusters in rural or emerging regions. This enables effective network location determination for diverse geographic contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces dynamics by using projected future population density and consumer density rather than static current data. The clustering algorithm dynamically adjusts to changing density patterns over time, allowing the network expansion plan to remain effective as population and consumer bases evolve. This dynamic approach ensures reliability for both current and future network coverage needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional network planning approaches are used, then existing networks can be managed, but the system cannot adapt to changing urban spread and population density

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork framework stabilityVSAvoidnetwork coverage adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by continuously incorporating projected population density and consumer density data into the network optimization process. The density-based clustering algorithm uses feedback loops to refine cluster identification based on updated data, allowing the network planning system to adapt to changing urban spread and population patterns while maintaining stable network operations. This feedback mechanism enables the system to balance stability with adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system may receive a cluster prediction requirement. The system may determine a first node conglomerate by sorting a first dataset into a first plurality of nodes. The system may determine a plurality of attributes by sorting a second dataset associated with the cluster prediction requirement. The system may determine a second node conglomerate for each of the plurality of attributes. A node confidence score may be assigned to each of the second plurality of nodes. The system may determine a node graph based on a comparison between the first node conglomerate and the second node conglomerate. The node graph may be iteratively modified based on a node optimization threshold value to generate a harmonized node graph. The node optimization threshold value may be based on a map confidence score allotted to the node graph.
