Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in ensuring AI model performance across different scenarios due to varying computing capabilities of devices, leading to inefficient model switching overheads and suboptimal generalization, as predefined scenario classifications do not account for device-specific capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A method for a first communication device to determine an association relationship between scenario and configuration information to customize the scenario classification granularity, allowing it to train or select AI models based on device-specific conditions, thereby optimizing model usage and reducing overheads.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a fixed scenario classification is used to train AI models for each communication scenario, then the communication device can use different AI models in different scenarios with small model scales, but additional model switching overheads are caused

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI model performance in different scenariosVSAvoidmodel switching overheads
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the scenario classification granularity adjustable rather than fixed. The system dynamically determines the classification granularity based on device computing capabilities and operational needs, allowing the AI model selection strategy to adapt to changing conditions and resolve the contradiction between model performance and switching overheads

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of scenario classification granularity from a fixed value to a variable that can be adjusted according to device capabilities. By modifying this key parameter, the system optimizes the balance between training multiple specialized models and using a single model with different classification granularities, thereby reducing model switching overheads while maintaining performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If a fixed scenario classification is used, then the AI model scale can be kept small for each scenario, but a device having strong computing capability cannot use an AI model with larger scale and stronger generalization capability

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI model scaleVSAvoiddevice capability utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the scenario classification granularity based on the specific device's computing capabilities. Devices with stronger computing capabilities can utilize finer or coarser classification granularities to access models with different scales, enabling them to leverage larger models with stronger generalization capabilities when needed, thus resolving the contradiction between model quantity and device adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal framework where a single AI model can serve multiple functions by adapting to different scenario classifications with varying granularities. This allows one model to be used across different devices with different capabilities, making the system more versatile and eliminating the need for separate models for each device type

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

3Ease of manufacture

If a fixed scenario classification is used, then the model training process is simplified, but different devices cannot customize their own scenario classification granularity based on computing capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel training processVSAvoiddevice-specific customization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic customization of scenario classification granularity based on device capabilities. Instead of a fixed classification scheme, the system allows each device to configure its own appropriate granularity level, enabling devices with different computing capabilities to train and use models that are optimized for their specific constraints while maintaining a relatively simple overall training process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
