Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the current 3GPP protocol is used for AI/ML model transmission, then the transmission process is simple, but the data size requirement cannot be met and transmission quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the AI/ML model into multiple data blocks, each containing a portion of the model parameters. This segmentation allows the large model to be transmitted in manageable chunks over the wireless interface, meeting the data size requirement while maintaining transmission quality through controlled block-based communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs preliminary action by transmitting configuration information before the actual model data. This configuration includes parameters such as the number of data blocks, block size, and transmission patterns, which are established in advance to ensure proper reception and reassembly of the model data blocks.
2Loss of time
If the current 3GPP protocol is used for AI/ML model transmission, then the protocol simplicity is maintained, but delay control requirement cannot be met
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the model into sequential data blocks with configured transmission patterns, the patent enables delayed transmission of specific blocks while maintaining overall timing control. The segmented structure allows flexible scheduling that meets delay requirements without requiring complete protocol redesign.
Solution Approach 2:
The preliminary transmission of configuration information establishes the timing framework and block transmission schedule in advance. This allows the receiving device to prepare for timely reception and reassembly of subsequent data blocks, achieving delay control without significant protocol complexity increase.
3Quantity of substance
If the model is transmitted as a whole, then the transmission process is simple, but the model size requirement (10-100 MB) cannot be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large model (10-100 MB) into multiple smaller data blocks that can be transmitted individually over the wireless interface. This segmentation enables the transmission of large models that would otherwise be too substantial for standard protocol handling, while the configured block structure maintains operational simplicity through automated reassembly.
