Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning models are deployed and updated within wireless mobile communication systems, then network performance and intelligence are improved, but system complexity and deployment difficulty increase due to multiple manufacturers and system composition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachine learning model deployment capabilityVSAvoidsystem deployment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a universal model transfer management mechanism that works across different wireless communication systems (4G, 5G, 6G) and different manufacturers' equipment. The management component provides standardized interfaces and procedures for model transfer, making the deployment process universally applicable throughout the wireless communication ecosystem, thereby resolving the complexity issue while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a model transfer management component as an intermediary between the model source and the target system. This intermediary handles the complexity of model transfer, validation, and deployment, shielding the underlying system complexity from users while enabling flexible model deployment across different wireless communication systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Speed

If machine learning model parameters are transferred from network side to terminal side, then inference speed and responsiveness are improved, but transmission overhead and air interface burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference speedVSAvoidtransmission overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the machine learning inference process from the network side and places it at the terminal side. By taking out the inference function from the network infrastructure and embedding it in user equipment, the system achieves faster local inference while reducing the need for continuous network communication during inference operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by transferring model parameters to the terminal in advance before inference is needed. The model is pre-deployed to the user equipment through the air interface, so when inference is required, the terminal can immediately perform local inference without waiting for model retrieval, thus improving speed while the transmission overhead occurs only during the initial model transfer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If deep neural networks with multiple hidden layers are used to solve complex nonlinear problems, then problem-solving capability is improved, but model size and transmission requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproblem-solving capabilityVSAvoidmodel size
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables user equipment to autonomously perform inference using locally deployed deep neural networks. The terminal equipment independently executes the inference process without requiring network assistance during operation, allowing complex multi-layer networks to be deployed locally where they can leverage the device's own computational resources to handle complex nonlinear problems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
