Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional AI-based channel prediction technology is used, then channel prediction accuracy is improved, but training overhead (time and resources) increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel prediction accuracyVSAvoidtraining overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential features needed for channel prediction from the full channel state information, focusing on key temporal and spatial characteristics. This selective extraction reduces the dimensionality of training data while preserving the most informative aspects for prediction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the training data by changing parameters such as reducing temporal resolution (using fewer time slots) and spatial resolution (selective antenna sampling). This parameter transformation maintains prediction accuracy while significantly reducing the volume of training data required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If channel state information is updated frequently to maintain accuracy, then transmission rate is improved, but feedback delay and mobility cause the information to become outdated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission rateVSAvoidchannel state information accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary channel prediction using historical data and learned patterns to estimate future channel states before actual measurements are available. This allows the system to prepare transmission parameters in advance based on predicted channel conditions, maintaining high transmission rates without waiting for real-time feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where prediction errors are continuously monitored and used to retrain and refine the prediction model. This closed-loop feedback ensures that the model adapts to changing channel conditions caused by mobility while maintaining accurate predictions for optimal transmission rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
