Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional CSI feedback methods are used in multi-antenna systems, then system compatibility is maintained, but CSI accuracy and wireless communication quality are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI accuracyVSAvoidAI technique applicability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms traditional CSI feedback parameters into neural network parameter sets that can be dynamically selected and updated. By changing from fixed feedback parameters to adaptive neural network parameters, the system achieves both improved CSI accuracy and better AI technique applicability in multi-antenna systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical CSI feedback mechanisms with AI-based neural network parameter transmission. This substitution enables the system to leverage AI's strong feature extraction and classification abilities, significantly improving CSI acquisition accuracy while maintaining system compatibility through standardized parameter transmission protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Extent of automation

If AI techniques are applied to CSI feedback, then feature extraction ability is enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI feature extractionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI-based CSI feedback system into modular components: neural network parameter acquisition modules, parameter set selection modules, and parameter transmission modules. This segmentation allows each component to perform specific functions independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining AI's automated feature extraction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs universal neural network parameter sets that can be applied across different multi-antenna configurations and scenarios. These parameter sets serve multiple functions including channel state estimation, quality prediction, and communication optimization, thereby reducing system complexity through multi-functionality rather than requiring separate AI models for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If neural network parameters are transmitted frequently, then CSI feedback accuracy is improved, but communication resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI feedback accuracyVSAvoidcommunication resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic updates of neural network parameter sets based on channel condition changes rather than continuous transmission. The system selectively transmits updated parameter sets only when channel characteristics change significantly, thereby maintaining high CSI feedback accuracy while reducing communication resource consumption through periodic rather than continuous parameter updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic parameter set selection where the system adapts the transmission frequency and content of neural network parameters based on real-time channel conditions. When channels are stable, parameter updates are reduced; when channels change rapidly, updates are increased, optimizing the balance between CSI accuracy and resource consumption dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
