Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple ML models are operated at the terminal device to improve communication performance, then communication performance is improved, but device temperature increases and computing resources are exhausted

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic scheduling of ML processing resources based on real-time device temperature and communication requirements. The terminal device adjusts the number of ML processing resources allocated to different ML models dynamically, increasing resources when temperature is low and communication performance needs improvement, and reducing resources when temperature exceeds thresholds, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining communication performance and controlling device temperature.

2Reliability

If multiple ML models are operated at the terminal device to improve communication performance, then communication performance is improved, but computing resources are exhausted

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of ML processing resource allocation based on device state and communication requirements. By adjusting the number of processing resources assigned to each ML model according to temperature thresholds and communication performance needs, the system optimizes computing resource utilization while maintaining necessary communication functions, resolving the contradiction between improved communication performance and reduced computing resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If ML processing resources are increased to handle multiple ML models, then communication performance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the ML processing resources into distinct allocable units that can be independently assigned to different ML models based on priority and device state. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by treating resource allocation as a modular scheduling problem rather than a monolithic system, enabling fine-grained control over resource distribution while maintaining communication performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an effective mechanism for communication. In this solution, the device determines, at a terminal device supporting a plurality of machine learning (ML) models, the respective number of ML processing resources or a respective priority for each ML model of at least one ML model being operated at the terminal device and schedules, based on the respective numbers of ML processing resources or the respective priorities, ML processing resources for the at least one ML model. In this way, the limited ML processing resource/capacity may be allocated to the most importance ML model(s).
