Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI procedures in wireless communication systems face inefficiencies and robustness issues, particularly regarding communication overhead, due to improper data selection for training and execution, which affects the performance and convergence time of AI structures.

Innovation Solution

A method for determining data set characteristics relevant to AI operations by transmitting a test specification to wireless devices, receiving test outcomes, and verifying if the data sets meet acceptance criteria, allowing network nodes to identify and utilize more relevant data sets efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If AI structures are trained using data from wireless devices without proper verification, then the training process can proceed quickly, but the performance and convergence of the AI structure suffers

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI training speedVSAvoidAI structure performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing data set verification through test specifications before the AI training process begins. The network node determines data set characteristics and verifies whether data sets meet acceptance criteria in advance, ensuring that only high-quality data is used for training. This prevents poor quality data from compromising AI performance while maintaining training efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of energy

If data sets from wireless devices are used for AI operations without verification, then communication overhead is reduced, but the relevance and quality of data for AI operations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication overheadVSAvoiddata relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical approach of transmitting and verifying entire data sets with a substitute mechanism: test specifications and test outcomes. Instead of moving large amounts of data for verification, the system transmits compact test specifications to wireless devices, which then perform local testing and return concise outcome indicators. This substitution dramatically reduces communication overhead while maintaining data quality assurance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If comprehensive test specifications are transmitted to verify data set quality, then data relevance is improved, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata set qualityVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential verification information needed for data quality assessment. Instead of transmitting complete test specifications that would require full data set analysis, the system extracts and transmits only the critical test outcome indicators that confirm whether data sets meet acceptance criteria. This extraction approach maintains data quality verification while minimizing communication overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Loss of time

If AI operations are performed without verifying data set acceptance criteria, then processing time is reduced, but the robustness of AI operations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing timeVSAvoidAI operation robustness
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling wireless devices to autonomously perform data set verification using locally received test specifications. The devices independently determine whether their data sets meet acceptance criteria and provide test outcomes without requiring centralized verification processing. This self-service approach maintains AI operation robustness through proper data verification while avoiding the time penalty of centralized data analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
