Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communications systems lack efficient methods for monitoring and updating machine learning models, particularly in devices like user equipment (UE), which hinders performance optimization and adaptability.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system where user equipment (UE) receives control signals for event triggers, monitors performance parameters of machine learning models by comparing input and output data, and reports these parameters to a network entity or server, enabling dynamic updates or model changes based on performance metrics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning models are implemented in wireless communication devices, then performance optimization and adaptability are improved, but monitoring and updating capabilities are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel adaptabilityVSAvoidmodel performance monitoring
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the UE monitors ML model performance using ground truth data and compares actual outputs with expected outputs. Performance parameters are reported to the network entity, which triggers model updates when performance degradation is detected, creating a closed-loop system that maintains model reliability while enabling adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The network entity pre-configures the UE with ground truth data and performance thresholds before the UE deploys the ML model. This preliminary preparation enables the UE to immediately begin monitoring and reporting without requiring real-time setup, ensuring reliable performance tracking from the start of model operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If continuous monitoring of machine learning model performance is implemented, then model accuracy is maintained, but signaling overhead and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance monitoring accuracyVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of continuous monitoring, the patent implements periodic performance reporting triggered by specific events such as performance threshold violations or ground truth data availability. The UE monitors model performance continuously but only reports when predefined conditions are met, reducing energy consumption while maintaining measurement precision through event-driven sampling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts monitoring parameters such as reporting thresholds and ground truth data update intervals based on network conditions and model performance. When performance is stable, monitoring intensity is reduced; when degradation is detected, monitoring frequency increases, optimizing the balance between measurement precision and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If event-triggered reporting is used for machine learning model performance, then reporting efficiency is improved, but real-time detection capability is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereporting efficiencyVSAvoiddetection speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The network entity pre-configures the UE with performance thresholds and trigger conditions before deployment. By anticipating when reporting will be needed and preparing the criteria in advance, the system achieves efficient event-triggered reporting without sacrificing detection speed, as the UE is already prepared to immediately report when predefined conditions are met

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
