Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If AI-based processing is used to predict channel state information, then prediction accuracy and channel transmission quality are improved, but device complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI prediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the channel information processing by dividing M future channel information pieces into multiple groups, where each group is processed independently to generate corresponding CSI. This segmentation reduces the computational complexity of processing all M pieces simultaneously while maintaining prediction accuracy, as each subgroup can be handled with less computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary processing by acquiring and storing N historical channel information pieces before prediction is needed. This preliminary action allows the AI model to be pre-trained or pre-configured with historical patterns, enabling more efficient real-time prediction when actual CSI generation is required, thus reducing online computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If M pieces of channel information are processed to generate CSI, then channel transmission quality is improved, but processing time and system overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel transmission qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting M channel information pieces into multiple smaller groups, the patent enables parallel processing of each group to generate corresponding CSI simultaneously. This segmentation approach reduces the sequential processing time while maintaining the overall reliability by ensuring each group is adequately processed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by processing only N historical channel information pieces to predict M future pieces, rather than processing all possible historical data. This selective partial processing achieves sufficient prediction accuracy for reliable channel transmission while significantly reducing the processing time and computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If AI models are deployed for CSI prediction, then feature extraction capability is improved, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature extraction capabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI processing task by dividing channel information into multiple groups that can be processed separately. This segmentation allows the system to activate only the necessary AI model components for each group, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining effective feature extraction capability across all channel information pieces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses partial action by applying AI processing only to the essential N historical channel information pieces needed for prediction, rather than processing all available data with full AI complexity. This selective partial processing achieves adequate feature extraction for accurate CSI prediction while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to exhaustive AI processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
