Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If power distribution settings are optimized in real-time for multiple radios, then device performance and power efficiency are improved, but system complexity and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower optimization efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs reinforcement learning agents that autonomously learn and optimize power distribution settings without requiring manual configuration or complex centralized control. The agents self-adjust power allocation based on real-time network conditions and device state, reducing the need for complex external management systems while maintaining optimization performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-trains reinforcement learning models using historical power usage data and performance metrics before deployment. This preliminary training phase allows the system to capture complex patterns and relationships in advance, reducing the computational complexity required during real-time operation while maintaining high optimization efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If historical power usage data is collected and analyzed, then predictive power optimization is improved, but data storage requirements and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs offline pre-training of reinforcement learning models using extensive historical power usage data. During this preliminary phase, complex patterns and relationships are captured and stored as trained model parameters. During real-time operation, the system only needs to infer predictions from the pre-trained model, dramatically reducing processing time while maintaining high predictive accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates simplified representations or copies of complex historical patterns through the reinforcement learning model. Instead of storing and processing raw historical data during operation, the system uses the trained model as a compressed representation that captures essential patterns, reducing both storage requirements and processing time while preserving predictive accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If multiple radios operate simultaneously with optimized power distribution, then wireless service coverage and performance are improved, but electromagnetic exposure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless service performanceVSAvoidelectromagnetic exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement learning agents optimize power distribution at the individual radio level, assigning different power levels to different radios based on specific network conditions, device state, and service requirements. This granular local optimization allows the system to minimize electromagnetic exposure from each radio individually while maintaining overall wireless service performance through coordinated operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts power distribution parameters across multiple radios based on real-time conditions. By changing power levels, frequency allocations, and modulation schemes according to network demand and environmental factors, the system maintains adequate wireless service performance while minimizing electromagnetic exposure when full power operation is not necessary

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Facilitating real-time power optimization in advanced networks (e.g., 5G, 6G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a method can include determining, by a system comprising a memory and a processor, a power distribution setting for a user equipment that includes multiple radios based on a historical radio power usage, a historical performance result, a current location, and an application currently executing on the user equipment. The method also can include implementing, by the system, the power distribution setting across the multiple radios of the user equipment. The first radio of the multiple radios can be a first radio type and a second radio of the multiple radios can be a second radio type, different from the first radio type.
