Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If AI or ML methods are used to replace modules in wireless communication systems, then system performance is improved, but air interface overhead increases due to large amount of training data collection and reporting requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem performanceVSAvoidair interface overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and reports only the most critical and changed parameters from the full measurement dataset. Instead of reporting all training data, the system identifies key parameters that significantly impact AI model performance and reports only those, thereby reducing air interface overhead while maintaining system performance benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different reporting strategies to different parameters based on their importance and characteristics. Critical parameters are reported with higher granularity and frequency, while less important parameters are reported with lower granularity. This localized quality approach optimizes the balance between performance and overhead by tailoring reporting to specific parameter needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive measurement information is collected for AI training, then model accuracy is improved, but signaling overhead and transmission resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial action by reporting only a subset of measurement parameters that are most critical for AI model training. Instead of transmitting complete measurement datasets, the system selectively reports key parameters such as channel state information, interference measurements, and quality metrics, achieving sufficient model accuracy with reduced signaling overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the measurement information into different categories and prioritizes reporting of high-importance segments. Measurement data is divided into critical parameters (reported with high precision and frequency), important parameters (reported with moderate precision), and auxiliary parameters (reported with low precision or aggregated), thereby optimizing the information-transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If detailed target information and measurement data are reported, then AI model training quality is improved, but air interface resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining qualityVSAvoiddata transmission complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically changes reporting parameters based on system conditions, parameter importance, and model training requirements. Reporting frequency, precision, and granularity are adjusted according to the criticality of each parameter and current network conditions. This parameter adaptation ensures high training quality while optimizing air interface resource utilization and reducing transmission complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
