Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If machine learning models are deployed in wireless communications systems, then technical performance and efficiency are improved, but monitoring and feedback mechanisms become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetechnical performanceVSAvoidmonitoring and feedback mechanisms
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements comprehensive feedback mechanisms where UEs report ML model performance metrics (accuracy, latency, resource consumption) to the network. The network entity receives this feedback and uses it to dynamically adjust model configurations, trigger retraining, or switch between multiple models. This closed-loop feedback system enables continuous optimization of ML model performance in the wireless network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If performance monitoring of ML models is enhanced, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performance reliabilityVSAvoidmonitoring mechanisms
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the monitoring and feedback functionality into distinct segments: (1) UE-side monitoring of local ML model performance metrics, (2) Network-side aggregation and analysis of reported metrics, and (3) Centralized model management and retraining coordination. This segmentation distributes complexity across multiple entities, making the overall system more manageable while maintaining comprehensive reliability monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic configuration and reporting of KPIs is implemented, then adaptability is improved, but use of energy increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic configuration capabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic configuration where the network entity can adjust which KPIs are monitored and reported based on current network conditions, model performance requirements, and resource availability. The reporting frequency and granularity can be dynamically modified, allowing the system to adapt between detailed monitoring (when resources permit) and minimal monitoring (when energy is constrained), thus balancing adaptability with energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
