Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical CSI estimation methods with a machine learning-based prediction system. Instead of continuously performing complex channel estimation calculations, the system uses trained neural networks to predict CSI, substituting computational mechanisms with data-driven prediction models.

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the CSI prediction task into separate functional components: data collection modules, machine learning model inference modules, and beamforming adjustment modules. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system architecture by dividing complex functions into manageable units.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting prediction model parameters based on mobility conditions. The system changes prediction time horizons, model complexity levels, and update frequencies according to detected UE mobility patterns, allowing the system to adapt its complexity parameters dynamically rather than using fixed complex architecture.

AI summary

A base station includes a transceiver, and a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to estimate a mobility level of a user equipment (UE), and determine whether the estimated mobility level of the UE exceeds a speed threshold. The processor is also configured to generate, from a channel response prediction model, a future channel response prediction based on the estimated mobility level of the UE and whether the estimated mobility of the UE exceeds the speed threshold.
