Solution Overview

Problem

Challenges arise in aligning UE and network node configurations and radio characteristics during AI/ML air interface use cases, as certain configurations are not explicitly indicated or exposed, leading to difficulties in matching datasets with the correct context for model training and activation.

Innovation Solution

Techniques for identifying datasets with dataset identifiers that associate UE and network node configurations and radio characteristics without explicit indication, enabling coordinated lifecycle management actions for AI/ML air interface use cases.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If configurations are not explicitly indicated or exposed, then security and system simplicity are improved, but dataset matching accuracy and context alignment deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconfiguration exposureVSAvoiddataset matching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dataset identifiers as intermediary elements that indirectly represent configuration contexts without exposing the actual configurations. These identifiers act as mediators between the hidden configuration state and the dataset selection process, enabling accurate matching while maintaining configuration privacy and system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates simplified copies of configuration contexts in the form of dataset identifiers. These identifiers capture the essential contextual information needed for dataset matching without replicating the full configuration details, thus enabling accurate matching while minimizing information exposure and maintaining system efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If dataset identification techniques are implemented, then model training efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel training efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary assignment of dataset identifiers to configurations during data collection sessions. This pre-establishment of identifier-configuration mappings enables rapid dataset retrieval and matching during model training without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus improving training efficiency while keeping the additional system complexity manageable through structured pre-processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Speed

If dataset identifiers are assigned and associated with configurations, then context matching speed is improved, but information management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontext matching speedVSAvoidinformation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the configuration information into discrete, identifiable units by assigning unique dataset identifiers to specific configuration contexts. This segmentation enables rapid identification and matching of relevant datasets by working with compact identifier references rather than analyzing full configuration details, thus improving matching speed while managing information complexity through modular organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may collect a dataset during a data collection session associated with an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) air interface use case. The UE may receive, from a network node, a dataset identifier assigned to the data collection session associated with the AI/ML air interface use case. The UE may associate the dataset identifier with the dataset and with one or more configurations associated with the UE during the data collection session. Numerous other aspects are described.
