Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems, particularly in 5G NR, face challenges in efficiently managing and switching between different machine learning (ML) models for various tasks and conditions, leading to increased signaling overhead and complexity.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a method that allocates ML models into baseline model groups (BMG) and specific model groups (SMG) based on tasks and conditions, allowing for dynamic switching between these groups to optimize performance and reduce signaling overhead.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple ML models are configured for different tasks and conditions, then adaptability and performance are improved, but signaling overhead and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different tasks and conditionsVSAvoidsignaling overhead and system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments ML models into two distinct groups: Baseline Model Groups (BMGs) that handle common tasks and Specific Model Groups (SMGs) that handle task-specific or condition-specific scenarios. This segmentation allows the system to manage multiple models efficiently by organizing them hierarchically, reducing the complexity of model selection and switching while maintaining high adaptability across different tasks and conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If ML models are dynamically switched based on tasks and conditions, then performance optimization is achieved, but control and management complexity increases

AI summary

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for ML model grouping techniques. A UE may receive a configuration for one or more ML models, which may be based on a capability of the UE. The configuration may be associated with at least one of a task or a condition of at least one procedure of the UE. The one or more ML models may be switchable at the UE based on the condition of the at least one procedure of the UE. The UE may allocate the one or more ML models to at least one of a BMG or an SMG for switching between the one or more ML models based on the at least one of the task or the condition of the at least one procedure of the UE.
