Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently selecting beam domain preprocessing inputs for channel state information (CSI) compression, particularly in varying channel conditions and performance metrics, leading to suboptimal performance.

Innovation Solution

A device determines the beam domain preprocessing input type based on rank thresholds, channel conditions, and performance metrics, selecting between full channel matrix and eigenvector inputs, and adjusts preprocessing parameters such as transformation matrices and oversampling factors to optimize CSI compression.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If beam domain preprocessing input type is fixed, then device complexity is reduced, but CSI compression performance deteriorates under varying channel conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI compression performanceVSAvoidinput type selection mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic selection of beam domain preprocessing input types (full channel matrix or eigenvector) based on real-time channel conditions and performance metrics. The system transitions from a fixed input type to a dynamically adjustable one, allowing optimization of CSI compression performance according to varying operational conditions while managing device complexity through condition-based decision logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of preprocessing input type based on channel conditions and performance metrics. By adjusting this key parameter dynamically, the system adapts to different channel environments (e.g., rank thresholds, signal-to-interference ratios) to maintain optimal compression performance without requiring a completely complex redesign of the processing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If full channel matrix is used for preprocessing, then CSI compression accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI compression accuracyVSAvoidpreprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively using full channel matrix preprocessing only when channel conditions warrant it (e.g., high signal-to-interference ratio, specific rank conditions). Otherwise, the system uses simplified eigenvector-based preprocessing. This partial application of the more computationally intensive method achieves high accuracy when needed while avoiding unnecessary processing time consumption in simpler conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the preprocessing method parameter based on measured channel conditions such as signal-to-interference ratio, channel rank, and performance metrics. This dynamic parameter adjustment allows the system to balance between processing time and accuracy by selecting the appropriate level of preprocessing intensity for each operational context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If preprocessing parameters are fixed, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to channel conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of preprocessing parameters including transformation matrices, codebook sizes, and oversampling factors based on real-time channel conditions. The system monitors metrics such as signal-to-interference ratio and channel rank to dynamically reconfigure parameters, enabling high adaptability to varying channel environments while keeping the determination mechanism manageable through condition-based rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms where channel conditions and performance metrics are continuously monitored and fed back into the parameter determination process. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt preprocessing parameters based on actual performance, improving channel condition adaptability while using the feedback information to guide parameter selection in a structured manner.

Inventive Principle:
