Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If AI/ML models are utilized for TRP configurations, then network performance can be improved, but inadequate identification and data collection methods lead to sub-optimal performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the identification process into multiple hierarchical levels using associated IDs and sub-associated IDs. Each level represents different granularities of TRP configurations, functionalities, and transmission scenarios. This segmentation enables precise identification and data collection for AI/ML model applicability determination, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining improved network performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces associated IDs and sub-associated IDs as intermediary elements that bridge the gap between network conditions and AI/ML model applicability. These intermediaries facilitate systematic data collection and identification, enabling the network to efficiently determine model applicability without losing critical information, thus resolving the contradiction between performance improvement and information loss.
2Adaptability or versatility
If associated ID is applied to multiple sub-associated IDs, then versatility is improved, but determining full applicability becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic applicability determination mechanism where the WTRU evaluates associated IDs against multiple sub-associated IDs based on current network conditions. The system dynamically determines whether an associated ID is fully applicable, partially applicable, or not applicable by checking against configurable thresholds. This dynamic approach maintains versatility while managing complexity through adaptive evaluation rather than static rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The WTRU autonomously performs the applicability determination process by evaluating configuration information and comparing it against stored associated IDs and sub-associated IDs. The device self-services by independently determining which AI/ML models are applicable without requiring complex external coordination, thus improving versatility while keeping the determination process manageable through localized intelligence.
Data Source
AI summary
A WTRU comprising a processor is provided. The processor is configured to receive a configuration of an associated ID and a set of sub-associated IDs related to the associated ID. The associated ID represents a network condition. Each of the set of sub-associated IDs represents at least one of a functionality or a transmission scenario. The processor is further configured to determine applicability of the associated ID based on the configuration. The determined applicability corresponds to full applicability based on the associated ID being applicable for each of the set of sub-associated IDs. The applicability corresponds to partial applicability based on the associated ID being applicable for at least one of the set of sub-associated IDs. The processor is further configured to apply the associated ID to perform at least one of the functionality or the transmission scenario based on the determined applicability.
