AI Technical Summary
In ultra-large-scale MIMO scenarios, as the number of antenna ports increases, the reference signal overhead rises sharply, making it more difficult to estimate channel state information. Existing technologies struggle to reduce pilot overhead while maintaining channel estimation accuracy.
When the downlink communication link changes, the terminal device actively sends a new matrix or its corresponding codeword index to the network device. The network device updates the pilot pattern based on this information, and flexibly adjusts the pilot deployment by combining the preset codebook and Hamming distance. The terminal device optimizes the pilot configuration through model training and sparse sampling.
While reducing pilot overhead, it improves the accuracy and flexibility of channel estimation, reduces invalid feedback and power consumption of terminal equipment, and enhances the applicability and resource utilization efficiency of the communication system.
