Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional MIMO detectors use matrix inversion methods, then detection can be performed, but performance becomes suboptimal and complexity increases with the number of antennas and users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection performanceVSAvoidmatrix inversion complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/mathematical matrix inversion methods with a deep learning-based neural network system. The neural network is trained offline to learn the inverse channel characteristics, and during operation, it directly processes received signals without performing real-time matrix inversion, thereby reducing computational complexity while maintaining or improving detection performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs channel inversion operations in advance during the offline training phase of the neural network. The network learns the inverse channel characteristics beforehand, so that during actual data detection, the system only needs to perform simple forward propagation through the trained network rather than complex real-time matrix inversion

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If deep-learning based detectors are used, then detection accuracy can be improved, but adaptability to real-time channel variations becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidreal-time channel adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the detection process into two distinct phases: offline training phase where the neural network is trained on channel characteristics, and online detection phase where the trained network processes incoming signals. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both high detection accuracy through offline learning and reasonable adaptability through the structured two-phase approach

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs colored-noise learning that adapts to different channel conditions by learning noise characteristics specific to each channel scenario. The system can adjust its detection parameters based on the learned channel and noise characteristics, improving adaptability to real-time variations while maintaining detection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If the number of antennas and users increases, then system capacity improves, but detection performance deteriorates due to increased complexity

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional matrix inversion detectors with a deep learning-based detector that does not suffer from the same complexity-performance tradeoff. The neural network can handle high-dimensional input data from multiple antennas and users simultaneously without the exponential complexity increase that plagues traditional methods, thereby maintaining detection performance as system capacity scales

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
