Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the access network device trains and transmits the AI model to the terminal device, then the AI model can be used in the AI application scenario, but the terminal device and access network device do not have a unified understanding of the AI model

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunified understanding of AI modelVSAvoidmodel identifier information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a network side device as an intermediary to manage and coordinate AI model registration between the access network device and terminal device. The network side device receives model registration requests from the access network device, validates and manages model identifiers, and ensures consistent model understanding across different network elements. This intermediary approach resolves the information loss problem by centralizing model identifier management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the AI model is trained by the access network device, then the model can be deployed in the AI application scenario, but the use effect of the AI model is affected due to lack of unified understanding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuse effect of AI modelVSAvoidmodel consistency across devices
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal device sends model invocation requests to the access network device, including model identifiers and version information. The access network device responds with model parameters and configuration information, creating a feedback loop that ensures consistent model understanding and reliable deployment across different network elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the terminal device moves to coverage of another access network device, then the terminal can maintain connectivity, but the terminal device cannot seamlessly invoke the AI model using the same identifier

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel invocation across network devicesVSAvoidseamless model detection and management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal model registration mechanism where AI models are registered with the network side device using standardized model identifiers that are recognized across different access network devices. This universal approach allows the terminal device to seamlessly invoke the same AI model using the same identifier regardless of which access network device it is connected to, enabling smooth mobility and consistent model management throughout the network coverage area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and apparatus. The method is applied to registration of an AI model. The method includes: a first network device obtains a first model through training; and the first network device sends first request information to request to register the first model with a second network device, where the first request information includes a first identifier corresponding to the first model. The first model is registered, so that devices in an application scenario of the first model can have a unified understanding of the first model, to improve application effect of the first model.
