1Productivity
If traditional decoding methods are used for channel state information feedback, then decoding can be performed, but the complexity of decoding increases and decoding efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical decoding methods with a neural network-based query decoder system. The query decoder uses neural network layers with query, key, and value mechanisms to efficiently decode channel state information feedback, substituting complex traditional decoding algorithms with a more efficient neural network approach that reduces computational complexity while maintaining or improving decoding performance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the decoding parameters and computational approach by introducing configurable neural network parameters such as number of decoder layers, hidden dimensions, and query vector dimensions. These parameter changes enable the system to adapt to different communication scenarios and optimize the balance between decoding complexity and efficiency based on specific requirements
2Measurement precision
If cross-node machine learning is applied to improve performance, then decoding accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the cross-node machine learning system into separate functional components: a transmitter neural network at the first node that generates latent vectors from channel state information, and a query decoder at the second node that reconstructs the channel state feedback. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and reduces overall system complexity by distributing computational tasks across multiple nodes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces latent vectors as an intermediary representation between the channel state information and the final decoded feedback. The transmitter neural network compresses the channel state information into these latent vectors, which then serve as the input for the query decoder. This intermediary layer simplifies the communication between nodes and reduces the complexity of direct cross-node machine learning operations
