NWDAF Accuracy Reporting for Reliable Analytics Predictions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current network data analytics functions (NWDAF) lack a standardized mechanism to provide accuracy information, preventing consumers from accurately evaluating the reliability of their predictions and hindering model refinement.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a mechanism within NWDAF to generate and provide accuracy reports based on actual outcomes, allowing consumers to compare predictions with actual events and adjust subscriptions or models accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a standardized mechanism for providing accuracy information is implemented in NWDAF, then consumers can accurately evaluate prediction reliability and refine models, but the device complexity and implementation overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where accuracy information is collected from actual outcomes and fed back to consumers through standardized NWDAF interfaces. This enables consumers to evaluate prediction reliability and refine their models iteratively, resolving the contradiction by providing structured feedback without requiring fundamental system redesign
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enhances existing NWDAF interfaces to serve multiple functions: providing both analytics predictions and accuracy information through the same standardized service interface. This multi-functionality approach avoids adding separate complex mechanisms while enabling reliability evaluation
2Measurement precision
If accuracy reports are generated and provided for all analytics predictions, then consumers can fine-tune analytics requests and terminate inaccurate subscriptions, but the loss of information processing and reporting overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides accuracy information selectively based on consumer needs and analytics types. Rather than universally reporting all possible accuracy metrics for all predictions, the system tailors the accuracy information provided to specific analytics subscriptions and consumer requirements, reducing unnecessary information processing overhead while maintaining precision where needed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements accuracy reporting at appropriate granularities and frequencies based on subscription parameters. The system provides accuracy information at partial intervals or for specific analytics types rather than continuously for all analytics, balancing measurement precision with information processing efficiency
