Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in achieving precise channel prediction, which is essential for accurate data decoding and processing in radio channels.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves an apparatus with at least one processor and memory, which implements two machine learning models. The first model provides a coarse channel prediction, and the second model, fed with the first prediction and additional information, generates a finer channel prediction through a feedback loop.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single machine learning model is used for channel prediction, then the device complexity is low, but the measurement precision of channel prediction is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel prediction precisionVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The channel prediction task is segmented into two distinct stages: a first machine learning model performs initial channel prediction, and a second machine learning model refines the prediction by processing the first prediction result along with original input features. This segmentation allows each model to specialize in different aspects of prediction, improving overall precision while managing complexity through functional division.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The first machine learning model's output is nested as an input feature for the second machine learning model. The second model processes both the original input features and the first model's prediction results, creating a hierarchical structure where predictions are refined in layers. This nesting enables progressive improvement of prediction accuracy without requiring a single overly complex model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Measurement precision

If more information is provided to the second machine learning model including feedback loop, then the channel prediction precision improves, but the loss of time increases due to additional processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel prediction precisionVSAvoidprediction processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The first machine learning model performs preliminary channel prediction in advance, generating initial prediction results that are then fed into the second model. This preliminary action allows the second model to focus on refinement rather than performing the complete prediction task from scratch, reducing the additional processing time required while still achieving improved precision through the feedback mechanism.
