Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If indiscriminate collection and labeling of training data is performed, then the classification model can be trained with abundant data, but resource wastage increases and training efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The classification model performs self-evaluation by determining an importance level of channel measurement information and assessing its own uncertainty. The system selectively requests ground-truth labels only for samples where the model's uncertainty exceeds a threshold, allowing the model to serve itself by identifying which data points need labeling rather than requiring all data to be uniformly labeled
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the importance threshold parameter to control the balance between data quantity and labeling cost. By changing this parameter, the system can adapt to different operational requirements, selecting only those samples whose importance level exceeds the threshold for ground-truth acquisition
2Measurement precision
If ground-truth classification results are obtained for all channel measurement information, then model accuracy is maximized, but computational overhead and labeling costs increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential subset of training data that truly contributes to model improvement. By evaluating the importance level of each channel measurement information sample and comparing it against a threshold, the system extracts only those high-importance samples for ground-truth labeling, discarding redundant low-importance samples
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of applying ground-truth labeling to all data samples (excessive action), the system applies partial labeling only to samples where uncertainty exceeds the threshold. This partial action is sufficient to maintain model accuracy while significantly reducing computational overhead and labeling costs
3Quantity of substance
If channel classification is performed without importance-based selection, then all data is utilized for training, but the positioning accuracy in NLOS scenarios deteriorates due to suboptimal training data quality
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different quality standards to different data samples based on their local characteristics. High-importance samples with high uncertainty are selected for ground-truth labeling and used to update the classification model, while low-importance samples are discarded. This local quality differentiation ensures that only high-quality data contributes to model training, improving positioning accuracy in NLOS scenarios
