Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If AI/ML model-based positioning is introduced into NR systems, then positioning precision is improved, but system complexity increases due to undefined AI/ML function and model recognition mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI/ML positioning system into distinct functional components: terminal device capability reporting (supporting AI/ML models), network device configuration provisioning, and model-based positioning execution. This segmentation clarifies the system architecture and reduces complexity by defining specific roles for each component in the positioning process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary actions by having the terminal device report its AI/ML model support capabilities before positioning operations begin. The network device then pre-configures appropriate AI/ML models and parameters based on this capability information, ensuring the system is prepared for accurate model-based positioning while maintaining clear procedural steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If AI/ML function recognition and model recognition are introduced for positioning, then positioning accuracy is enhanced, but implementation difficulty increases due to lack of defined relationships between AI/ML functions and models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidimplementation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces configuration information as an intermediary element that bridges the terminal device's AI/ML capabilities and the positioning model requirements. The network device generates configuration information that explicitly defines the relationship between supported AI/ML functions and specific positioning models, making the implementation process systematic and manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by having the terminal device report capability parameters indicating supported AI/ML models and functions. The network device then adjusts configuration parameters based on these capabilities, dynamically matching appropriate AI/ML models to terminal capabilities and simplifying the implementation process through parameter-based compatibility matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
