Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements fine-grained flow management by dynamically adjusting flow control parameters based on user behavior patterns, service types, and network conditions. The system changes flow management parameters (such as flow quotas, priority levels, and throttling thresholds) in real-time to optimize data flow utilization while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated machine learning-based decision making.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs machine learning models that automatically learn user behavior patterns and autonomously make flow management decisions without requiring complex manual configuration. The system self-adjusts flow control policies based on learned patterns, reducing the operational complexity burden on network operators while achieving fine-grained flow management and improved data utilization rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors network flow data, user behavior patterns, and service performance metrics, then feeds this information back to the machine learning models for real-time policy optimization. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to adaptively refine flow management strategies, improving data utilization while keeping complexity managed through data-driven automation.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies differentiated flow control strategies tailored to specific user groups, service types, and network conditions rather than uniform flow restriction. The machine learning model identifies patterns in user behavior and service requirements to apply appropriate flow control intensity locally - applying stricter control only where necessary to maintain network performance while preserving user experience for other traffic types.

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses machine learning models to predict potential signal power over-limit conditions by analyzing historical network data and user behavior patterns. By identifying at-risk scenarios in advance, the system can proactively adjust flow control parameters to prevent over-limit events before they occur, thereby improving signal power stability while managing complexity through predictive rather than reactive control.
