Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional neural network training methods are used for CSI processing, then processing capability is improved, but computing resources and training time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI processing capabilityVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The training process is segmented into distributed phases where different components (UE devices, base stations, cloud servers) perform specific training tasks independently. The autoencoder model is divided into encoder and decoder parts that can be trained separately at different locations, reducing the time required for complete training while maintaining processing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A cloud server acts as an intermediary to coordinate and manage the distributed training process. The server receives training data from UE devices, manages the training workflow, and coordinates between different network nodes, enabling efficient resource utilization and reducing overall training time through centralized coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional neural network training methods are used for CSI processing, then processing capability is improved, but computing resources consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI processing capabilityVSAvoidcomputing resources consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Computing tasks are segmented and distributed across multiple devices including UE devices, base stations, and cloud servers. Each device performs only the necessary training computations for its specific role, reducing overall computing resource consumption compared to centralized training while maintaining the processing capability needed for CSI compression and decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

UE devices autonomously identify their training capabilities and participate in distributed training without requiring continuous manual intervention. The system automatically manages capability negotiation and task allocation, optimizing resource utilization while reducing the computing burden on any single device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If distributed training methods are implemented, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The cloud server serves as a mediator that manages the complexity of distributed training coordination. It handles capability negotiation between devices, manages training workflows, and coordinates data exchange, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency while containing system complexity at the coordination layer rather than distributing it throughout the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts training parameters based on device capabilities and network conditions. Capability information is exchanged and used to modify training configurations in real-time, allowing the system to optimize resource utilization while managing complexity through adaptive parameter adjustment rather than fixed complex configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
