Solution Overview

Problem

Existing spatial multiplexing schemes in mobile broadcasting systems experience significant performance degradation due to erasure fading channels and antenna correlation, which are not accounted for in existing designs assuming independent channel values between transmit and receive antennas.

Innovation Solution

The method involves controlling transmission power and precoding data streams using a modulation scheme-specific precoding matrix, and optionally shifting the phase of data streams to optimize performance in fading channels and correlated antenna environments.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing spatial multiplexing schemes are applied in mobile broadcasting systems, then data transmission capacity is increased, but performance degradation occurs due to erasure fading channels and antenna correlation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capacityVSAvoidtransmission performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of transmission power by allocating different power levels to different data streams based on channel conditions. The base station determines optimal power allocation parameters to compensate for erasure fading effects, thereby maintaining reliable transmission performance while preserving high data transmission capacity through spatial multiplexing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-compensating for channel effects before transmission. The base station performs channel estimation and determines appropriate power allocation and precoding matrices in advance, based on predicted channel conditions, to counteract the expected erasure fading and correlation effects before the actual data transmission occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If spatial multiplexing is used with multiple transmit and receive antennas, then spectrum efficiency is enhanced, but performance degradation occurs when channel correlation between antennas is present

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission performance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by treating each data stream transmitted through different antenna combinations with customized power allocation and precoding parameters. Instead of uniform treatment, each spatial stream receives localized optimization based on its specific channel characteristics, thereby maintaining spectrum efficiency while compensating for local correlation effects between specific antenna pairs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters by dynamically adjusting power allocation ratios and precoding matrix elements based on measured channel correlation between antennas. When correlation is detected, the system modifies transmission parameters to orthogonalize the effective channels, thereby preserving the high spectrum efficiency of spatial multiplexing while eliminating performance degradation from antenna correlation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
