Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single artificial neural network is used for CSI generation, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to various radio environments deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the single neural network into multiple specialized neural networks, each optimized for specific radio environments or CSI types. This allows the system to maintain low complexity by using only the necessary network for each situation while improving adaptability through environment-specific optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic selection mechanisms that adaptively choose which neural network to use based on current radio conditions, channel characteristics, and system requirements. This dynamic approach enables the system to switch between different network configurations without maintaining all networks simultaneously, balancing complexity and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple AI models are deployed to handle various radio environments, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs neural networks with universal architectures that can handle multiple CSI types and radio environments through configurable parameters and training data, rather than requiring completely separate networks for each scenario. This multi-functionality reduces the number of networks needed while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary training and configuration of neural networks during system setup or idle periods, preparing multiple specialized networks in advance. This allows the system to have pre-configured adaptability for various environments without the complexity of real-time network generation or switching.
3Ease of manufacture
If fixed radio channel information is transmitted, then the system implementation is simplified, but the flexibility for variable accuracy requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables dynamic adjustment of neural network parameters such as precision, quantization levels, and feedback dimensions based on system requirements. This allows the same network architecture to operate at different accuracy levels by changing parameters rather than requiring completely different network configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements variable precision mechanisms where the neural network can operate at full precision when high accuracy is required and at reduced precision when lower accuracy suffices. This partial action approach maintains implementation simplicity while providing flexibility to adjust accuracy levels based on current system needs.
