Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communications systems lack efficient mechanisms for performance supervision and failure detection of machine learning models used in these systems, which can lead to suboptimal operations and service disruptions.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and memory configured to transmit configuration information to another apparatus for performance supervision and/or failure detection of machine learning models used in wireless communications systems. This configuration information includes details on resources, signals, performance metrics, temporal behavior, parameters, and rules for failure detection and recovery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If machine learning models are deployed in wireless communications systems, then service quality and operational efficiency are improved, but the risk of model failure and service disruption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoidservice continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by configuring failure detection mechanisms and performance supervision parameters before the machine learning model is deployed. The network device pre-configures the terminal device with detection rules, thresholds, and resource allocations so that when the model is operational, failure detection can immediately occur without delay, preventing service disruption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where the terminal device monitors model performance metrics and sends failure indications back to the network device. This feedback mechanism allows real-time detection of model degradation or failure, enabling the system to respond by switching to alternative models or adjusting parameters, thus maintaining service reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive performance supervision mechanisms are implemented, then model failure detection capability is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefailure detection capabilityVSAvoidsupervision mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The failure detection system is segmented into distinct functional components: the network device that configures supervision parameters, the terminal device that executes monitoring, and the model that performs inference. Each component has specialized responsibilities, allowing the complex supervision task to be distributed and managed independently, reducing overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The performance supervision mechanism is designed to be universal and configurable through standardized parameters that can monitor multiple different machine learning models across various applications. The same detection framework and resource allocation mechanisms work for different model types and failure modes, reducing the need for separate specialized systems

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