Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If existing CSI feedback schemes are used, then channel quality information can be obtained, but transmission overhead is large and computational complexity is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by predicting future CSI values before actual measurement using spatial parameters and historical data. This prediction is performed in advance to reduce the need for transmitting complete measured CSI, thereby reducing overhead while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the essential spatial parameters (angle of arrival, angle of departure, time delay) from the complete CSI and uses these extracted features for prediction and compression. This selective extraction reduces transmission overhead while preserving the most critical channel characteristics.
2Productivity
If compression is applied to reduce overhead, then transmission efficiency improves, but information loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by comparing predicted CSI with actual measured CSI to calculate prediction errors. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adaptively adjust compression levels and select appropriate reconstruction methods, ensuring that information loss remains within acceptable bounds while maintaining high transmission efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters by dynamically adjusting compression levels based on channel conditions, prediction accuracy, and quality requirements. Different compression techniques are applied selectively depending on the specific scenario, allowing optimization of both transmission efficiency and information preservation.
3Ease of manufacture
If fixed compression schemes are used, then implementation is simple, but adaptability to variable communication scenarios is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the compression scheme adaptive rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts compression parameters, selects different compression techniques, and modifies prediction models based on real-time channel conditions, communication scenarios, and quality requirements, thereby achieving both simplicity and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent achieves universality by designing a multi-functional CSI compression framework that can handle various communication scenarios (different mobility conditions, channel types, and quality requirements) using a unified approach. The system can selectively apply different compression and prediction techniques within the same framework, making it universally applicable across diverse scenarios.

AI summary
A method for CSI feedback and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: predicting a first predicted CSI for a second time instant based at least on a first measured CSI for a first time instant; obtaining a second measured CSI for the second time instant; and determining a compression level for a third measured CSI for a third time instant after the second time instant based at least on comparison between the first predicted CSI and the second measured CSI. A most suitable compression level may be selected according to the real-time CSI prediction accuracy and/or the assistance of spatial parameters while overhead for CSI feedback may be reduced.
