Solution Overview

Problem

The existing data dimension reduction methods in 5G wireless networks have low flexibility due to the use of preset beam domain weights for converting time domain data from antennas to frequency domain data, which limits the adaptability and efficiency of data transmission in C-RAN architectures.

Innovation Solution

The method involves determining adaptive beam weights based on channel information of user equipment (UE) to perform dimension reduction on antenna domain signals, allowing for different dimensions of beam domain signals, and adjusting data bit widths and supplementary received beams to optimize data transmission through eCPRI, thereby improving flexibility and system performance.

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the dimension reduction function from the centralized BBU and relocates it to the distributed RRU. This extraction allows each RRU to independently reduce the dimension of its received time domain data before transmission, thereby reducing the overall data volume that needs to be transmitted over the shared optical fiber while maintaining the ability to simultaneously process multiple RRU inputs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the dimension reduction process into individual RRU units, where each RRU performs independent dimension reduction on its own received data. This segmentation enables parallel processing across multiple RRUs, increasing simultaneous transmission efficiency while utilizing the shared optical fiber capacity effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
