1Productivity

If AI encoding and decoding processes are implemented in wireless communication systems, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but peak-to-average power ratio increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the AI model configuration adjustable and adaptable. The base station and user equipment can dynamically select different numbers of layers, nodes, and connection methods in the neural network based on channel conditions and transmission requirements. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to optimize between transmission efficiency and power consumption by selecting appropriate AI model complexities for different scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying AI model parameters (number of layers, nodes, connection methods) to control the peak-to-average power ratio. By changing these parameters, the system can adjust the computational complexity of AI encoding/decoding processes, thereby managing power consumption while maintaining data transmission efficiency. The base station transmits AI parameters to user equipment to control these changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If AI parameters are adjusted to optimize encoding and decoding, then latency is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovelatencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the AI processing complexity between the base station and user equipment. The base station handles AI parameter generation and transmission, while user equipment performs AI-based encoding and decoding. This segmentation allows latency optimization through coordinated AI processing while distributing device complexity across multiple components rather than concentrating it in a single device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses AI parameters as an intermediary between the base station and user equipment. These parameters convey the necessary configuration information for AI models without requiring direct complex model exchange. The intermediary AI parameters enable efficient encoding/decoding with reduced latency while keeping the actual AI model complexity managed and controlled through parameter transmission rather than full model deployment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
