Solution Overview

Problem

Detecting false cells in a wireless communication network using valid cell identities is challenging due to resource-intensive machine learning requirements, particularly in networks with a large number of valid cell identities, which demand significant memory and processing resources.

Innovation Solution

Implement feature engineering to create a dataset with reduced dimensionality and increased discriminatory power by transforming cell-specific features into ordinal-position-specific features, reducing the need for memory and processing resources while improving accuracy and precision in machine learning applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If machine learning is used to detect false cells in a wireless communication network, then detection capability is improved, but memory and processing resources are excessively consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefalse cell detection capabilityVSAvoidmemory and processing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the original high-dimensional feature space into multiple lower-dimensional subspaces by identifying and removing redundant features. This segmentation approach maintains the essential detection capability while dividing the computational burden into manageable parts, directly reducing memory and processing resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes redundant features from the dataset that do not contribute significantly to false cell detection. By taking out these unnecessary features, the system reduces the dimensionality of the data, thereby decreasing the memory and processing resources needed while preserving the core detection functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the number of valid cell identities in the network increases, then network capacity is improved, but machine learning resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork capacityVSAvoidmemory and processing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic feature selection mechanism that adapts to the network's scale. As the number of valid cell identities increases, the system dynamically identifies and removes redundant features, ensuring that resource consumption does not linearly increase with network capacity. This dynamic adaptation maintains efficiency regardless of network size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of feature dimensionality by transforming the original high-dimensional feature set into a reduced-dimensional representation. This parameter change allows the system to handle larger numbers of valid cell identities without proportionally increasing memory and processing resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Quantity of substance

If feature dimensionality is reduced, then resource requirements are decreased, but discriminatory power may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory and processing resourcesVSAvoiddiscriminatory power
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively removing only the redundant features while retaining all essential features needed for accurate false cell detection. This selective approach ensures that discriminatory power is maintained by keeping the necessary features, while still achieving resource reduction through the removal of unnecessary dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical approach of using all original features with a sophisticated feature selection mechanism that identifies and removes redundancies. This substitution uses analytical methods to determine which features contribute to discriminatory power and which can be safely removed, thereby maintaining precision while reducing resource consumption.

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