Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses GAN to generate synthetic channel data that copies and replicates real channel characteristics. The generator network creates artificial channel measurements that statistically match real data distributions, providing sufficient training data without requiring expensive physical measurements in all scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical channel measurement systems with AI-based predictive modeling. Instead of physically measuring channels in all possible scenarios using expensive instruments, the system uses neural networks to predict channel characteristics based on environmental parameters, substituting physical measurement with computational prediction.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary channel measurements in a limited set of scenarios to train the GAN model. Once trained, the model can generate channel data for any frequency band or scenario instantly without requiring actual measurements, effectively performing the measurement action in advance during training rather than in real-time during deployment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The GAN model creates synthetic copies of channel data for scenarios that were not actually measured. The generator network produces artificial channel measurements that replicate the statistical properties of real channels across all frequency bands and scenarios, filling in the time loss by generating data rather than collecting it.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into a unified GAN framework. The generator network simultaneously performs data generation, feature extraction, and channel prediction, while the discriminator network validates both real and generated data. This integration reduces overall system complexity compared to using separate independent learning modules for each channel characteristic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The GAN model serves multiple purposes: it generates synthetic channel data, learns channel characteristics, predicts future channel states, and adapts to unknown scenarios. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single versatile model, improving adaptability while managing complexity through unified architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 1:

The GAN generator creates synthetic copies of channel data that replicate the statistical properties of real measurements. This allows the system to achieve sufficient data volume for accurate parameter estimation without actually collecting and processing a large amount of real channel data, reducing computational complexity while maintaining precision.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the approach from processing large volumes of real data to generating data with specific parameter distributions. By controlling the input noise distribution and generator network parameters, the system produces synthetic data with desired statistical characteristics, achieving accurate parameter estimation without proportionally increasing computational load.
