Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing demand for high data throughput and diverse communication services in wireless communication systems, coupled with limited resources, necessitates a method to efficiently manage communication with high-density nodes and user equipment (UEs), reduce latency, and support various service requirements using artificial intelligence.

Innovation Solution

Implementing transfer learning (TL) by mapping UEs to different levels and groups based on channel characteristics, training neural networks to enhance communication efficiency and reduce latency, and transferring learning results among UEs within these groups.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the number of UEs and data throughput demand increase, then communication capacity requirements improve, but available radio resources become insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata throughputVSAvoidradio resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments UEs into different groups based on channel characteristics and service requirements. By dividing the UE population into distinct segments, the system can allocate radio resources more efficiently to each group, allowing high-throughput services to receive priority resources while maintaining overall system capacity despite increasing UE density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If AI training is applied to enhance communication efficiency, then service performance improves, but training time and latency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidtraining latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary AI training by pre-processing channel characteristics and organizing training data before actual communication operations. By preparing training models in advance based on historical channel data, the system reduces real-time training latency while maintaining improved communication efficiency from the trained AI models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If transfer learning is implemented across diverse UE groups, then adaptation to different channel characteristics improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel characteristic adaptationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by transferring learning results specifically between UEs with similar channel characteristics within the same group, rather than across all UEs universally. This targeted approach maintains adaptability to different channel conditions while reducing system complexity by limiting transfer learning operations to relevant, homogeneous groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
