VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional network optimization methods are used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but network performance optimization is insufficient due to environment complexity and dynamics

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary evaluation system comprising a data collection module, feature extraction module, and model evaluation module that mediates between the complex wireless environment and traditional optimization methods. This intermediary layer processes raw network data through multiple modules to generate comprehensive performance evaluations, resolving the contradiction by adding structured complexity that enables better performance optimization while managing system complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system is segmented into distinct functional modules: data collection module (220), feature extraction module (222), and model evaluation module (224). Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing the system to manage complexity through division of labor while achieving comprehensive network performance evaluation through the coordinated operation of these segmented components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary feature extraction (222) on network data before feeding it to AI/ML models for optimization decisions. By pre-processing data to extract only relevant features and reducing data dimensionality beforehand, the system enables efficient real-time model execution while minimizing computational energy consumption during critical optimization operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system dynamically adapts its operation based on network conditions and resource availability. The model evaluation module (224) selectively applies different evaluation strategies and model complexities depending on current network state, allowing the system to optimize resource allocation efficiency while dynamically adjusting computational energy consumption to match actual network needs

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The feature extraction module (222) extracts only the most relevant features from comprehensive network data, separating essential performance indicators from redundant information. This extraction process maintains measurement precision by focusing on critical features while significantly reducing data processing time by eliminating unnecessary data elements before model evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by collecting comprehensive network data but processing only the essential subset through feature extraction. The model evaluation module (224) uses this extracted feature subset for evaluation, achieving accurate performance measurement without the time cost of processing the entire comprehensive dataset, thus balancing precision and processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
