Solution Overview

Problem

Current telecommunications systems face challenges in autonomously identifying and deploying solutions to improve service quality and coverage in specific geographic areas, as they lack efficient methods to analyze and prioritize precise site locations for new deployments.

Innovation Solution

A machine learning-based system that utilizes telecommunication service data, infrastructure information, and geographic data to identify new site deployment locations, filter relevant data sets, generate clusters of impaired areas, and determine optimal solution types and locations for deployment, such as tilt, low-band, lease, or small cell solutions, without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If traditional manual methods are used to identify and prioritize site locations for new deployments, then deployment accuracy and precision can be maintained, but the process requires significant user intervention and time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautonomous identification of deployment locationsVSAvoidprecision of site location identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables autonomous self-service by automatically analyzing telecommunication service data, generating clusters of impaired areas, identifying candidate deployment locations, and prioritizing them without human intervention. The machine learning model independently performs the entire workflow from data reception to solution recommendation, eliminating the need for manual analysis while maintaining high precision through algorithmic cluster generation and buffer area calculations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Area of stationary object

If comprehensive telecommunication service data is analyzed across the entire geographic area, then complete coverage of potential deployment locations is achieved, but data processing time and computational resources increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage area of deployment analysisVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the geographic area into manageable clusters of impaired service areas using machine learning algorithms. By dividing the large geographic space into smaller cluster units with defined buffer areas, the system can process and analyze each segment independently, reducing overall computational complexity and processing time while maintaining comprehensive coverage of the entire service area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of analyzing every possible location in the entire geographic area, the system focuses computational resources on generating clusters of impaired areas and analyzing only the buffer areas surrounding these clusters. This partial action approach concentrates analysis on the most relevant regions where deployment is actually needed, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If buffer areas are defined for each new site deployment location to exclude overlapping regions, then deployment optimization is improved, but data set filtering complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of deployment prioritizationVSAvoidcomplexity of data filtering process
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces buffer areas as intermediary zones around each candidate deployment location. These buffer areas serve as mediators to automatically exclude overlapping regions and prevent redundant deployments. By using buffer areas as an intermediary filtering mechanism, the system simplifies the overall process of identifying unique deployment locations while maintaining high productivity in deployment prioritization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
