Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning models in telecommunications networks require frequent updates to maintain accuracy, but existing methods often transmit excess training data, leading to high overhead data transfer costs and resource consumption, and expose sensitive user information.

Innovation Solution

A system that assigns UE devices to update groups based on environmental and model parameters, optimizing the frequency of training data broadcasts to minimize overhead data transfer and ensure model performance, while maintaining privacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If training data is frequently broadcast to UE devices to maintain model accuracy, then model performance is improved, but overhead data transfer costs and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidoverhead data transfer costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments UE devices into different update groups based on their model update needs and environmental factors. Each group receives training data at optimized frequencies, allowing the system to maintain model accuracy for devices that need it while reducing unnecessary data transfers for devices that don't require frequent updates, thereby resolving the contradiction between model performance and data transfer overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the update frequency for each UE device based on real-time environmental parameters, device state, and model requirements. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to optimize the balance between maintaining model accuracy and minimizing data transfer overhead, as update frequencies are continuously adjusted rather than applied uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If training data is broadcast to all UE devices, then model performance is maintained, but computational and memory resource costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performanceVSAvoidcomputational and memory resource costs
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing the update strategy for each UE device based on its specific environmental parameters, device capabilities, and model requirements. Instead of applying a uniform update frequency to all devices, the system tailors the update approach to each device's local conditions, optimizing resource usage while maintaining necessary model performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

By segmenting UE devices into different update groups with customized update frequencies and data selection strategies, the system reduces unnecessary computational and memory resource consumption on devices that don't require frequent or full model updates, while still maintaining model performance where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If update frequency is increased for all devices, then model accuracy is maintained, but network traffic and server load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidnetwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically determines update frequencies for each UE device based on real-time environmental parameters, device state, and model performance requirements. This dynamic approach allows the network to optimize traffic patterns by increasing updates only when and where necessary, rather than applying a static high update frequency to all devices, thereby improving overall network efficiency while maintaining model accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

By segmenting devices into update groups with different frequency requirements, the system reduces overall network traffic and server load by avoiding unnecessary updates to devices that don't require them, while ensuring adequate update frequency for devices that do need frequent updates to maintain accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Manufacturing precision

If comprehensive training data is transmitted, then model update quality is improved, but data privacy risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel update qualityVSAvoiddata privacy risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and transmits only the specific training data samples that are most relevant and necessary for each UE device's model update needs, based on environmental parameters and device-specific requirements. This selective extraction approach maintains model update quality by providing pertinent data while reducing privacy risks by minimizing the transmission of unnecessary sensitive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by customizing the selection of training data for each UE device based on its specific context and requirements. Instead of transmitting comprehensive training data to all devices, the system tailors the data selection to each device's local needs, ensuring update quality while protecting privacy by transmitting only necessary information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
