Innovation Solution

A method where a terminal device sends parameter information related to its model function for positioning to a network device, which in turn sends configuration information to the terminal device, enabling the definition and configuration of the model function for positioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If AI/ML model-based positioning is implemented without clear definition of model function and model recognition, then positioning functionality can be provided, but the accuracy and effectiveness of positioning deteriorates due to unclear relationship between AI/ML function and model

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning effectivenessVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI/ML positioning system into distinct components: model function information (describing what the model does) and model recognition information (identifying the specific model). This segmentation allows clear definition of the relationship between AI/ML functions and models, thereby improving positioning accuracy while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If detailed configuration information for model function and model is provided, then model-based positioning accuracy is improved, but the complexity of configuration and information management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary configuration mechanism where the network device provides both model function information and model recognition information through standardized signaling (RRC signaling). This intermediary approach manages the complexity of detailed configuration by structuring the information flow, allowing high positioning accuracy to be achieved without overwhelming configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If AI/ML model-based positioning with clear model function definition is implemented, then positioning effectiveness is improved, but the communication overhead and information exchange between terminal and network device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning effectivenessVSAvoidcommunication overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the terminal device report its supported model function information and model recognition information to the network device in advance, before actual positioning occurs. This allows the network device to pre-configure appropriate positioning parameters and select suitable AI/ML models, thereby improving positioning effectiveness while minimizing communication overhead during the actual positioning process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
