Solution Overview

Problem

Modern wireless communication networks face bottlenecks in processing computational AI tasks due to unequal computational capacities among nodes, necessitating a method to balance workload and prevent bottlenecks.

Innovation Solution

A load balancing method that determines load parameters for computational resources across nodes and redistributes AI tasks based on these parameters, using direct communication between nodes to allocate tasks efficiently.

1Productivity

If computational AI tasks are processed by individual nodes with unequal computational capacities, then each node can independently perform its assigned tasks, but bottlenecks occur in processing due to unequal capacities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speed of AI tasksVSAvoidsmooth operation of communication network
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by having nodes exchange load parameter information about their computational workloads. This feedback mechanism allows the network to dynamically adjust task allocation based on current node states, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth operation while maintaining high processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making the task allocation system adaptive and flexible. Instead of static assignment, nodes dynamically adjust their workload based on real-time load parameters and available computational resources, allowing the system to respond to changing conditions and avoid bottlenecks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If AI tasks are allocated based on load parameters and available resources, then bottlenecks are avoided and processing efficiency is improved, but additional communication and coordination overhead is introduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of AI task processingVSAvoidcommunication overhead between nodes
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional communication mechanism that serves both information exchange and task coordination purposes. The load parameter communication serves dual functions: monitoring network state and enabling dynamic task allocation, thereby improving efficiency without proportionally increasing communication overhead.

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

3Reliability

If nodes with significant headroom receive additional tasks from overloaded nodes, then workload is balanced and bottlenecks are prevented, but task reallocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkload balance across nodesVSAvoidtask reallocation process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by using load parameters as the basis for task reallocation decisions. Nodes exchange information about their computational resource utilization, and tasks are reallocated based on changes in these parameters. This approach achieves workload balance through systematic parameter monitoring and adjustment rather than complex ad-hoc reallocation processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
