Solution Overview

Problem

In a multi-vendor wireless ecosystem, training AI/ML models for wireless communications is challenging due to the need for encoders and decoders to learn interpretable information from each other, requiring solutions that address compatibility and synchronization across different vendor architectures while minimizing signaling overhead and maintaining proprietary designs.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves various training types, including Training Type I (joint training at a single entity), Training Type II (joint training without model transfer), and Training Type III (sequential separate trainings), which allow for the training of two-sided AI/ML models across different entities, ensuring compatibility and performance while managing proprietary architectures and reducing information exchange overhead.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If joint training is performed at a single entity (Training Type I), then reconstruction accuracy is improved, but device complexity and information security concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereconstruction accuracyVSAvoidtraining coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into separate encoder training and decoder training phases, allowing them to be performed at different entities independently. This segmentation reduces the complexity of coordinating joint training while maintaining reconstruction accuracy through sequential optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs preliminary action by pre-training encoders at one entity and then using these pre-trained encoders to train decoders at another entity. This preliminary training step simplifies the overall training coordination while achieving high reconstruction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If separate training is performed at different entities (Training Type III), then information exchange overhead is reduced, but reconstruction accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation exchange overheadVSAvoidreconstruction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where training results from one entity are transmitted to the other entity to guide subsequent training. This feedback loop allows separate training at different entities to achieve reconstruction accuracy comparable to joint training while minimizing information exchange overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If proprietary AI/ML models are used by different vendors, then vendor independence is maintained, but compatibility and synchronization between encoders and decoders become difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevendor independenceVSAvoidencoder-decoder compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes universal training protocols and interfaces that allow proprietary AI/ML models from different vendors to interoperate. By defining standardized training procedures and information exchange formats, the system maintains vendor independence while ensuring encoder-decoder compatibility across multi-vendor deployments.

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