Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in achieving optimal accuracy and adaptability of channel state feedback (CSF) due to the use of universal machine learning models that fail to account for varying deployment scenarios and UE conditions, leading to inefficient model switching and potential disconnects between UE and network entities.

Innovation Solution

Implementing hyper-local machine learning models trained for specific deployment and UE scenarios, coupled with predictive model selection techniques that utilize throughput projections and data aging determination to ensure accurate CSF reporting and compression, along with enhanced UE-network signaling and cooperative mechanisms for encoder/decoder selection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If universal machine learning models are used for channel state feedback, then device complexity is reduced, but CSF accuracy and adaptability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel complexityVSAvoidCSF accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the universal model into multiple specialized hyper-local models, each trained for specific deployment scenarios and UE conditions. The UE maintains a set of specialized models (e.g., for different coverage zones, mobility levels, frequency bands) instead of one universal model, achieving higher accuracy while managing complexity through selective usage based on current conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by creating models with specialized properties for specific local conditions (coverage zones, deployment scenarios, UE types). Each hyper-local model is optimized for its particular scenario, providing tailored accuracy for that local context rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple specialized models are maintained for different scenarios, then CSF adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel adaptabilityVSAvoidmodel management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training multiple specialized models for different scenarios before runtime. The UE receives configuration information and model identifiers in advance, and maintains a pre-established set of hyper-local models ready for selective activation based on predicted coverage zones and current conditions, avoiding the need to train or select models dynamically during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If model switching is performed frequently to adapt to changing conditions, then CSF accuracy is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSF accuracyVSAvoidmodel switching time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by predicting future coverage zones and pre-selecting appropriate models before conditions actually change. The UE uses coverage prediction information to determine which hyper-local model to use in advance, avoiding the need for frequent model switching and the associated time losses when conditions change dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
