Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If AI/ML models are introduced into communication systems to adapt to complexity and diversity of scenarios, then system adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to lack of standardized transmission management methods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by establishing a standardized transmission management method that can handle multiple types of AI/ML models through unified control messages and data channels. The network device uses a general framework that works for different model types, avoiding the need for separate management mechanisms for each model, thus improving system adaptability while controlling complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting transmission parameters such as model version, capability information, and transmission mode (control plane vs. user plane) based on terminal device capabilities and network conditions. This allows the system to adapt to different scenarios and device capabilities through parameter configuration rather than complex structural changes
2Reliability
If AI/ML models are transmitted through control messages to ensure reliable delivery, then transmission reliability is improved, but transmission efficiency decreases due to control plane overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the model transmission process into two distinct paths: control plane transmission for reliable delivery of critical model information, and user plane transmission for efficient transfer of large model data. This segmentation allows each path to be optimized for its specific function, achieving both reliability and efficiency simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing capability information as a mediator between the network device and terminal device. The capability information determines which transmission mode(s) are available, allowing the system to flexibly select between control plane and user plane based on reliability and efficiency requirements
3Productivity
If AI/ML models are transmitted through data channels to improve transmission efficiency, then productivity is improved, but security risks increase due to user plane transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the transmission mode flexible and adaptable rather than fixed. The system can dynamically switch between control plane and user plane transmission modes based on the specific model characteristics, network conditions, and security requirements. This dynamic approach allows optimization of both efficiency and security for different transmission scenarios
4Reliability
If network devices perform comprehensive model management to ensure proper deployment, then system reliability is improved, but computational burden on network devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling terminal devices to autonomously manage AI/ML model deployment based on their own capabilities. The terminal device independently determines which models it can support and manages the transmission process, reducing the computational burden on network devices while maintaining deployment reliability through standardized capability negotiation
