Solution Overview

Problem

In AI/ML-based wireless communication systems, there is a challenge in reliably monitoring performance fluctuations due to factors like reporting errors, sample data, and temporary environmental changes, leading to unnecessary scheme switching and signaling overhead.

Innovation Solution

A method for evaluating AI/ML scheme stability at the network side using evaluation results reported by terminal devices, avoiding performance fluctuations and unnecessary scheme switching by determining conditions such as scheme availability and need for updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If AI/ML-based schemes are used to enhance system performance, then system performance is improved, but performance fluctuations and instability occur due to reporting errors, sample data, and temporary environmental changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem performanceVSAvoidperformance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The network device performs preliminary evaluation of AI/ML scheme performance by receiving multiple pieces of evaluation information before making a final determination. This preliminary assessment allows the system to account for temporary fluctuations and reporting errors before concluding that performance requirements are not met, thereby improving reliability while maintaining stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system receives more than one piece of evaluation information (W pieces where W≥1) from terminal devices before making a determination. This excessive sampling approach ensures that temporary environmental changes or single-reporting errors do not trigger false performance degradation conclusions, thus balancing performance improvement with stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If performance monitoring is performed to detect scheme degradation, then reliability is improved, but unnecessary scheme switching and signaling overhead increase due to false detections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance monitoring accuracyVSAvoidscheme switching operations
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network device performs preliminary evaluation by collecting multiple pieces of performance evaluation information before triggering scheme switching or updates. This preliminary filtering prevents false detections caused by temporary environmental changes or reporting errors, thereby improving monitoring accuracy while reducing unnecessary scheme switching operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where terminal devices report AI/ML scheme performance evaluation information to the network device. The network device uses this feedback to determine whether performance requirements are not met, allowing for reliable performance monitoring while avoiding unnecessary scheme switching through intelligent decision-making based on accumulated feedback data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If multiple evaluation criteria are used to assess AI/ML scheme performance, then measurement precision is improved, but signaling overhead and procedure complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance evaluation accuracyVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The network device uses a universal evaluation framework that can handle multiple pieces of performance evaluation information from different terminal devices using the same determination logic. This multi-functional approach allows accurate performance assessment through multiple criteria while avoiding redundant signaling procedures, as the same evaluation mechanism is applied universally to all received information.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges multiple pieces of performance evaluation information from different terminal devices into a unified determination process. By combining these evaluations and applying a single determination logic, the system achieves high measurement precision through multiple criteria while reducing signaling overhead by consolidating the evaluation procedure rather than treating each criterion separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
