Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI/ML model training processes in wireless communication systems face challenges in determining data importance, especially in 6G networks, leading to increased transmission overhead and latency, which degrades overall performance due to unclear data importance determination for data of the same type and reliance on higher-layer QoS indicators.

Innovation Solution

Implement methods and devices that utilize data state information (DSI) to selectively transmit AI/ML model training data based on DSI thresholds and report formats, reducing unnecessary data transmission and enhancing performance by minimizing signaling overhead.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If all AI/ML model training data is transmitted to ensure complete model training, then model training completeness is improved, but transmission overhead and latency increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel training completenessVSAvoidtransmission overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by determining data state information (DSI) for individual data samples to identify which specific samples are important for model training. Instead of treating all data uniformly, the system evaluates each sample's contribution to model convergence and selectively transmits only those samples with high DSI values, thereby reducing transmission overhead while maintaining training effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial action by transmitting only a subset of training data samples that meet the DSI threshold criteria. Rather than transmitting all available data (excessive action), the system identifies and transmits only the necessary portion of data that contributes meaningfully to model training, reducing unnecessary transmission overhead and latency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Loss of energy

If data state information (DSI) calculation and selective transmission is implemented, then transmission overhead is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission overheadVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by calculating data state information (DSI) for training data samples before transmission decisions are made. The system pre-evaluates each data sample's importance metric and compares it against a threshold in advance, so that only samples meeting the criteria are selected for transmission. This preliminary filtering simplifies the overall system complexity by making transmission decisions based on pre-computed metrics rather than complex real-time evaluations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of time

If DSI threshold filtering is applied to select important data, then transmission latency is reduced, but model training accuracy may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission latencyVSAvoidmodel training accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the DSI threshold parameter to control the balance between transmission latency and model training accuracy. The system can dynamically modify the threshold value based on network conditions, device capabilities, and training progress. By changing this key parameter, the system optimizes the trade-off: higher thresholds reduce transmission overhead and latency, while lower thresholds ensure more comprehensive data transmission for improved training accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
