Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communications systems, user equipment (UE) may use machine learning models that are prone to errors due to missing or corrupt input data, leading to incorrect predictions and high error rates.

Innovation Solution

Implement conditional machine learning model and parameter set configurations, where network entities configure model identifiers and parameter sets with usage conditions, allowing UEs to select appropriate models and sets based on available data, thereby managing missing or corrupt input data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If machine learning models are used for predictions in wireless communications, then prediction capability is improved, but error rate increases due to missing or corrupt input data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction capabilityVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter state by introducing conditional configurations that adapt the machine learning model's input parameters based on data availability. When input data is missing or corrupt, the system switches to alternative parameter sets or fallback models, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving automation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the network entity) that mediates between the data source and the machine learning model. This intermediary validates input data, detects missing or corrupt parameters, and selectively provides cleaned or alternative input data to the model, reducing error rates while maintaining automated predictions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple machine learning models are configured with different usage conditions, then reliability is improved by managing missing data, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of predictionsVSAvoidmodel configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the machine learning solution into multiple conditional models or parameter sets, each optimized for specific data availability scenarios. This segmentation allows the system to select the appropriate model based on current conditions, improving reliability while managing complexity through modular organization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic model selection where the system automatically adjusts which machine learning model or parameter set is active based on real-time data availability conditions. This dynamic approach maintains high reliability across varying conditions while keeping the overall system manageable through automated adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message from a network entity indicating a set of machine learning models, a set of parameter sets, or both and one or more usage conditions associated with the machine learning models and parameter sets. Based on a usage condition being satisfied, the UE may select a machine learning model, a parameter set, or both for generating a machine learning inference. For example, the UE may select the machine learning model or the parameter set based on a priority, whether sufficient input data is provided, or based on other usage conditions. The UE may generate the machine learning inference using the selected machine learning model or the selected parameter set, and the UE may transmit a report indicating an output of the machine learning inference to the network entity.
