Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If frequent CSI reporting is performed to maintain prediction accuracy, then prediction reliability is improved, but reporting overhead and resource utilization increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary CSI prediction using historical data and AI/ML models before actual channel conditions change. By predicting future CSI values in advance based on historical patterns, the system reduces the need for frequent real-time reporting while maintaining prediction accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses network assistance information including historical IMR sets and interference scaling coefficients as feedback mechanisms. This feedback allows the WTRU to continuously refine its prediction models using past performance data, improving accuracy over time without requiring frequent re-reporting.
2Reliability
If network assistance information is provided to improve prediction accuracy, then prediction reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The network serves as an intermediary by providing pre-processed assistance information such as historical IMR sets and interference scaling coefficients. This intermediary approach offloads complex data processing to the network side, allowing the WTRU to use simplified prediction models that leverage pre-computed network assistance data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters used in prediction by transforming raw channel measurements into normalized quality-based metrics using network-provided scaling coefficients. This parameter transformation simplifies the WTRU's processing requirements while maintaining prediction accuracy through standardized metric comparisons.
3Reliability
If historical measurements are used for prediction, then prediction accuracy is improved, but measurement and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments historical measurement data into distinct components: channel measurements, interference measurements, and quality-based metrics. By segmenting and organizing historical data into structured formats with associated time instances, the system enables efficient retrieval and processing of only the necessary historical segments rather than processing entire datasets.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses partial historical data by selecting specific reference IMR sets and associated time instances that are most relevant for prediction. Rather than processing all available historical measurements, the system identifies and processes only the partial subset needed for accurate prediction, reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.

AI summary
A method implemented by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may include receiving configuration information from a network, and receiving network assistance information for CSI prediction from the network. The method may include determining historical channel measurements based on a plurality of measurement resources, such as historical quality-based metrics based on Interference Measurement Resources (IMRs) and historical CSI measurements based on channel measurement resources. The method may include determining a CSI prediction value for a future CSI prediction instance based on the historical channel measurements, such as the historical CSI measurements. The method may include determining a quality-based metric for the future CSI prediction instance based on the historical channel measurements, such as the historical quality-based metrics and the network assistance information. The method may include sending an indication of the quality-based metric for the future CSI prediction instance to the network.
