Solution Overview

Problem

Deep Learning-based neural networks in wireless communication systems face performance degradation due to domain shift when pre-learned NN parameters are generated offline, as the statistical characteristics of the channel used in training differ from the real-time channel conditions.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a user equipment (UE) that receives a reference signal, generates channel state information based on it, and transmits this information to adaptively update neural network (NN) parameters, considering the current channel probability distribution, thereby reducing the need for frequent parameter updates and improving system reliability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-learning neural network parameters offline using simulated channel data, then adapting them to real channel conditions through a small amount of online feedback. This combines the efficiency of pre-computed parameters with the adaptability of real-time conditions, resolving the contradiction between reduced signaling overhead and maintained system performance.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the UE reports channel state information and the base station adjusts NN parameters accordingly. This feedback loop enables the system to maintain accuracy under domain shift while avoiding the need for continuous large-scale parameter retraining, thus balancing signaling overhead and performance.
