Solution Overview

Problem

Current communication systems lack effective management and control methods to limit bandwidth on demand for federated learning services, leading to excessive consumption of communication resources and potential interference with other terminal devices or services.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication method that measures and controls the aggregate bit rate of a group of terminal devices participating in a service, allowing dynamic scheduling and rate adjustment to prevent resource overload, using mechanisms like rate limiting, deactivation, or deletion of connections to maintain optimal resource usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the application server is allowed to call wireless resources of the plurality of terminal devices without limitation, then the group service can be performed efficiently, but normal operation of other terminal devices or other services is inevitably affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegroup service efficiencyVSAvoidinterference with other terminal devices or services
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the bit rate parameter of terminal devices participating in group services. The network device measures the bit rate of each terminal device and adjusts it according to the service type and network conditions, thereby improving group service efficiency while preventing interference with other terminal devices or services through controlled rate adjustment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the network device continuously measures the bit rate of terminal devices and uses this information to make dynamic adjustments. The measurement results feed back into the rate control decision-making process, enabling the system to adapt to changing network conditions and service requirements while maintaining fair resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If multiple terminal devices are mobilized for group services, then data silos can be broken down, but communication resources are excessively consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata silo breakdown capabilityVSAvoidcommunication resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the bit rate parameter dynamically based on service requirements and network conditions. By adjusting the transmission rate of each terminal device according to its contribution and the overall service needs, the system enables effective group services for breaking down data silos while optimizing communication resource consumption through rate control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by selectively mobilizing only the necessary number of terminal devices for group services based on service requirements. Rather than involving all available devices, the system determines the optimal subset of participants needed to achieve the service objective, thereby reducing unnecessary communication resource consumption while still breaking down data silos effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
