Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile network technologies face challenges in managing the explosion of data volume for historical storage without compromising data quality or resource efficiency, particularly in 5G and beyond networks utilizing AI/ML, where existing compression techniques may lead to data loss.

Innovation Solution

Implementing generative models, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), to generate synthetic data with similar statistical properties as the source data, reducing the volume of data stored and transmitted while maintaining quality, and utilizing these models within the analytics data repository function (ADRF) to manage data storage efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If compression techniques are used to reduce data volume for storage, then resource consumption is reduced, but data quality is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoiddata quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates synthetic copies of data using generative models (GANs) that replicate the statistical properties and patterns of original data. Instead of storing all raw data, the system stores synthetic data generated by trained models, dramatically reducing storage requirements while preserving data quality and enabling lossless or reduced-loss reconstruction of original data characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms data from its original form into a compressed representation by training generative models on the data. The models learn key parameters and patterns, then generate synthetic data that maintains the essential statistical properties. This parameter-based representation reduces data volume while preserving quality for analytics and machine learning operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If all historical data is stored to maintain data quality, then data quality is preserved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidstorage resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates synthetic replicas of historical data using generative models. These synthetic copies preserve the statistical properties, patterns, and relationships of the original data, enabling analytics and machine learning operations to proceed with reduced data volume while maintaining data quality requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential information and statistical properties from large volumes of historical data by training generative models. Instead of storing all raw data, only the critical patterns and generated synthetic samples are retained, significantly reducing storage resources while preserving data quality for analytical purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If data volume increases with 5G and AI/ML adoption, then network capabilities are enhanced, but storage and transmission resources are overwhelmed

Engineering Contradiction:
