Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the first channel learning model and the second channel learning model obtained through offline training are directly applied to an online information transmission process, then the information transmission can be performed efficiently, but if a location of the terminal device changes or a communication environment changes, the channel learning models may not be applicable, causing performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transmission efficiencyVSAvoidchannel learning model applicability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal device determines whether the first channel learning model is applicable by evaluating current channel conditions, and feeds back this applicability information to the network device. The network device then determines whether the second channel learning model is applicable based on the received feedback. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to changes in terminal device location or communication environment, resolving the contradiction between transmission efficiency and model applicability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from static offline-trained channel learning models to dynamic adaptability assessment. The terminal device and network device continuously evaluate model applicability based on current conditions, allowing the system to adapt dynamically to environmental changes while maintaining efficient information transmission when conditions permit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If the terminal device determines model applicability with assistance from the network device through extensive signaling exchange, then the determination can be comprehensive, but the signaling complexity and processing load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel applicability determination accuracyVSAvoidsignaling exchange complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The model applicability determination process is segmented into two parts: the terminal device performs initial assessment and determines whether the first channel learning model is applicable, then feeds back this determination. The network device performs secondary assessment based on the feedback to determine whether the second channel learning model is applicable. This segmentation reduces signaling complexity while maintaining comprehensive determination accuracy.

AI summary

This application provides communication methods and communications apparatuses. In an example method, a first communications apparatus determines whether a first channel learning model is applicable, where the first channel learning model is used to determine first channel information based on target channel information, and a data amount of the first channel information is less than a data amount of the target channel information. The first communications apparatus sends a first message in response to determining that the first channel learning model is not applicable, where the first message is used to indicate that the first channel learning model is not applicable. According to the example method, the first communications apparatus can determine applicability of the first channel learning model without assistance of a second communications apparatus.
