Solution Overview
Problem
Current multi-antenna techniques in wireless communication systems face challenges in adaptively selecting between spatial diversity, spatial domain multiplexing, and spatial domain multiple access techniques based on channel status, leading to inefficiencies in data transmission capacity and error rates, especially in high spatial correlation or low SNR scenarios.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that receive channel status information to classify users and allocate transmission resources effectively, using a feedback signal receiver, user classifier, scheduling and demultiplexing block, AMC block, power allocator, and transmitter to adaptively apply spatial diversity, spatial domain multiplexing, and spatial domain multiple access techniques, optimizing power allocation and modulation across multiple antennas.

1Productivity
If spatial domain multiplexing technique is used to increase data rate, then data transmission capacity is improved, but error rate increases in high spatial correlation or low SNR scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the multi-antenna transmission technique based on channel conditions. The base station receives channel status information from user terminals and selectively applies spatial diversity technique when spatial correlation is high or SNR is low, and spatial domain multiplexing technique when spatial correlation is low and SNR is high, thereby optimizing both data rate and error rate performance
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the transmission parameters by selecting different multi-antenna techniques based on channel status parameters. When channel conditions deteriorate (high spatial correlation or low SNR), the system switches from spatial domain multiplexing to spatial diversity technique, effectively changing the transmission mode to maintain reliability while preserving data transmission capacity
2Productivity
If adaptive multi-antenna technique is applied to select effective technique based on channel status report, then transmission efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the user terminal population into different groups based on their channel status characteristics. The base station receives channel status reports from user terminals and classifies them into groups that require spatial diversity technique versus those suitable for spatial domain multiplexing technique, thereby simplifying the adaptive selection process while maintaining transmission efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where user terminals report channel status information to the base station. Based on this feedback, the base station determines the appropriate multi-antenna technique for each user terminal or group, enabling adaptive transmission efficiency improvement without requiring complex real-time decision-making at the transmitter
