Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw network data into semantic vectors through embedding models, changing the parameter representation from traditional network metrics to high-dimensional semantic spaces. This transformation enables more efficient processing and analysis of massive data volumes by AI models, improving monitoring effectiveness while reducing processing complexity

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal foundation model that can perform multiple network analysis functions simultaneously - traffic classification, anomaly detection, performance optimization, and security monitoring. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for deploying multiple specialized probing systems, achieving high measurement precision while reducing overall deployment and maintenance costs

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements closed-loop feedback mechanisms where AI models continuously monitor network performance and automatically generate and execute optimization actions. This automated feedback loop eliminates manual analysis delays, enabling real-time processing and immediate response to network conditions, thereby reducing latency while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The foundation models are pre-trained on extensive network data to learn patterns and relationships before deployment. This preliminary training enables the models to immediately analyze and respond to new network data without requiring manual setup or analysis protocols, achieving both high throughput and low latency from the start

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant features and semantic information from massive network data streams using embedding models and AI analysis. Instead of storing and processing all raw data, the system extracts essential patterns and anomalies, maintaining monitoring reliability while dramatically reducing data storage requirements and associated energy consumption

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw network traffic data into compact semantic vectors that capture essential network states and behaviors. This parameter transformation reduces the dimensionality and storage requirements of network data while preserving the information needed for reliable monitoring and analysis, thereby reducing energy consumption without sacrificing reliability
