Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile communication technologies face high communication overheads and reduced throughput due to terminal devices reporting large amounts of data for network optimization, leading to increased interference and decreased processing accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A communication method and apparatus that determines data transmission based on diversity information, such as difference and correlation analysis, to selectively send only necessary data, reducing transmission overheads while maintaining processing accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If terminal devices send large amounts of data to network devices for processing, then processing accuracy is improved, but communication overheads increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing accuracyVSAvoidcommunication overheads
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the essential diversity information from the collected data, rather than sending all raw data. The terminal device processes the collected data locally to identify and send only the key diversity characteristics that are necessary for network device processing, thereby reducing communication overhead while preserving processing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces diversity information as an intermediary between the terminal device's collected data and the network device's processing requirements. This intermediary element captures the essential characteristics of the collected data in a compressed form, enabling accurate network processing without transmitting the complete original dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If terminal devices send large amounts of data to network devices, then processing accuracy is improved, but interference increases and throughput decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing accuracyVSAvoidinterference
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary diversity information from the collected data for transmission to the network device. By sending only this extracted essential information rather than all collected data, the transmission volume is reduced, which directly decreases interference on the communication channel while maintaining the accuracy needed for proper processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If terminal devices send all collected data, then data completeness is improved, but transmission resources are consumed inefficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the essential diversity information that captures the critical characteristics of the collected data. This selective extraction maintains sufficient data completeness for accurate network processing while dramatically improving transmission efficiency by reducing the volume of data that consumes transmission resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the necessary portion of the collected data (the diversity information) rather than all data. This partial transmission is sufficient to achieve the processing objectives while avoiding the waste of transmission resources that would result from sending complete datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A first apparatus obtains first data; and the first apparatus may further determine, based on first diversity information, whether to send the first data. The first diversity information is determined based on the first data and a set of second data, and the second data includes historical data sent by the first apparatus and/or data indicated by a second apparatus. For example, the first data is training data. The first apparatus may determine the first diversity information based on the first data, and historically sent training data and/or specified training data, and determine, based on the first diversity information, whether to send the first data. In some embodiments, the first apparatus does not need to send all training data.
