Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional PMI feedback methods are used, then channel information can be provided, but redundant overhead increases due to increasing antenna quantities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel information accuracyVSAvoidsystem overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the parameter groups into multiple groups (first parameter group, second parameter group, etc.), each associated with different identifiers. This segmentation allows the system to selectively use only the necessary parameter groups for channel information generation, avoiding transmission of redundant data and reducing overhead while maintaining channel information accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic selection of parameter groups based on identifier associations. The system can dynamically choose which parameter group to use (first or second parameter group) depending on the identifier, enabling adaptive overhead reduction while preserving necessary channel information for varying antenna configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If more parameter groups are used for training, then channel information accuracy improves, but implementation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel information accuracyVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing parameter groups into multiple segmented groups with distinct identifier associations, the system can selectively apply only the necessary training parameter groups. This reduces implementation complexity by avoiding the need to process all parameter groups simultaneously, while still achieving accurate channel information through the selected groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters by associating different parameter groups with different identifiers. This allows the system to adjust which parameter groups are active based on identification signals, optimizing the balance between training comprehensiveness and implementation complexity by activating only necessary parameter groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If AI/ML-based CSI compression is implemented, then overhead is reduced, but determination of parameter group identifiers becomes a key problem

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverhead reductionVSAvoidparameter group identifier determination
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the selected parameter group identifier is communicated back to the system. This feedback loop resolves the difficulty of identifier determination by providing explicit information about which parameter group is being used, enabling the AI/ML-based CSI compression to function correctly with proper parameter group selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The identifier acts as an intermediary between the multiple parameter groups and the channel information generation process. By using this intermediary identifier system, the patent simplifies the complexity of selecting among multiple parameter groups, making the AI/ML-based compression implementation more manageable while maintaining overhead reduction benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
