Solution Approach 1:

The patent collects and stores historical channel state information in advance before actual POC allocation is needed. This historical data serves as pre-prepared training material for the AI model, eliminating the need to measure complete channel information in real-time during allocation decisions. The AI learns from this pre-collected data to make accurate allocation predictions.

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of measuring complete and accurate channel information directly during operation, the system uses historical channel state information as a copy or representation of the actual channel conditions. The AI model learns to map these historical patterns to optimal allocation strategies, avoiding the need for precise real-time measurement while maintaining effective allocation performance.

Solution Approach 2:

The AI-based POC allocation system is self-learning and self-adjusting, automatically improving spectrum utilization without requiring complex external control mechanisms. The system serves itself by using its own historical performance data to train and refine its allocation strategies, eliminating the need for manual configuration or complex centralized control while achieving high spectral efficiency.
