Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the terminal performs air interface processing based on AI manner, then air interface processing efficiency is improved, but flexibility in switching between AI and non-AI processing manners is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic switching capability between AI-based and non-AI-based air interface processing manners. The terminal can report capability information to the network side and switch between different processing modes based on network conditions, performance requirements, and energy constraints, making the system adaptable rather than fixed in one mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of the air interface processing by introducing AI-based processing as an alternative mode. The system can adjust processing parameters such as model complexity, processing granularity, and resource allocation based on whether AI is employed, allowing optimization of efficiency while maintaining switching flexibility through parameter adjustment.
2Reliability
If AI processing is always used at the terminal, then communication quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the air interface processing functionality by separating AI-based processing from traditional processing methods. The terminal contains both AI processing capabilities and conventional processing capabilities, allowing the system to select the appropriate segment based on conditions. This segmentation reduces the burden on any single processing path while maintaining overall communication quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal is designed with multi-functional capability to support both AI-based air interface processing and traditional non-AI processing. This universal design allows the same terminal hardware to perform multiple processing modes, reducing the need for specialized complex hardware while maintaining communication quality through selective mode usage.
