Solution Overview

Problem

Perceptive wireless communication systems face challenges in managing and reducing the impact of incorrect and misleading information from devices, which can consume excessive resources when maintaining centralized lists of unreliable devices across large geographic areas.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method and apparatus that maintains manageable lists of devices providing incorrect information by using a combination of centralized and local access lists, revoking access for sources of inaccurate data, and sharing on-demand classifications within a smaller geographic area to reduce memory and communication overhead.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If centralized lists of unreliable devices are maintained across large geographic areas, then data integrity can be monitored, but resource consumption (memory and communication overhead) increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the centralized access list into multiple distributed local access lists stored at different network nodes (base stations, access points). Each node maintains a local subset of rogue device identifiers relevant to its coverage area, eliminating the need for a single large centralized list and reducing memory requirements at any individual node.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements location-aware access list management where each network node maintains local access lists tailored to its specific geographic coverage area. Nodes share and update only the relevant portions of access lists with neighboring nodes, ensuring that each node stores only the identifiers necessary for its local context, thereby reducing overall system memory requirements while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If centralized access lists are updated across the network, then data accuracy is maintained, but communication overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and distributes specific subsets of access list data to local network nodes based on their geographic coverage areas. Instead of broadcasting entire access list updates across the entire network, each node receives and stores only the relevant identifiers for its local area, significantly reducing communication overhead while maintaining data accuracy for local enforcement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic access list distribution where network nodes automatically update their local access lists by exchanging information with neighboring nodes. When a new rogue device is identified, the information propagates locally through the network rather than requiring centralized redistribution, enabling adaptive updates with minimal communication overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If access is revoked for devices providing incorrect data, then data quality is maintained, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables network nodes to autonomously enforce access revocation decisions using locally stored access lists. When a device attempts to connect, local nodes check their access lists and automatically reject devices with revoked access without requiring real-time communication with a central authority. This decentralized enforcement mechanism maintains data quality while reducing system complexity by eliminating centralized access control infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An apparatus configured to revoke, for one or more wireless devices, access to at least one service for at least one context in response to the one or more wireless devices providing incorrect data elements for a wireless communication service, and output an indication for data from the one or more wireless devices to be excluded from subsequent processing for the at least one service in the at least one context. An additional apparatus configured to provide a first set of data elements for processing by a set of service entities, receive an indication that at least one component of the first wireless device provides incorrect data elements for a wireless communication service, and omit information derived from the at least one component of the first wireless device in subsequent sets of data elements corresponding to the first set of data elements provided for the set of service entities.
