Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual debugging is used for network optimization, then network performance can be optimized, but the process is laborious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork performanceVSAvoiddebugging time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual debugging (mechanical human operation) with automated AI algorithms that analyze network data to identify optimization opportunities, generate optimization actions, and execute them automatically. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming manual process while maintaining or improving network optimization effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service network optimization by automatically collecting network data, analyzing it through AI algorithms, generating optimization actions, and executing them without human intervention. The network system serves itself by autonomously identifying and implementing performance improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If AI algorithms are used for network optimization, then optimization performance can be improved, but large amounts of global data are required which are currently unavailable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptimization performanceVSAvoidglobal data availability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the network data collection process by having different network elements (base stations, core network elements) collect and report their local network data to a centralized network data collection system. This segmentation allows global data aggregation from distributed sources, making the required large volumes of network data available for AI analysis without requiring a single centralized data collection point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If automated data collection is implemented, then global network data becomes available for AI optimization, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveglobal data availabilityVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal network data collection system that can collect multiple types of network data (radio resource data, mobility management data, session management data) from various network elements through a standardized interface. This multi-functional system handles diverse data collection requirements through a single unified platform, managing complexity by providing a universal solution rather than separate specialized systems for each data type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
