Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple channel status information reference signal port groups are used for data transmission, then data transmission capacity is improved, but management complexity of precoding matrices increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission capacityVSAvoidmanagement complexity of precoding matrices
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the precoding matrix management into segmented groups corresponding to different channel status information reference signal port groups. Each group has its own precoding matrix configuration, allowing independent management and optimization. This segmentation enables the system to handle multiple port groups efficiently by treating each group as a manageable unit with specific precoding requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a frequency domain dimension by defining first type frequency domain units and associating precoding matrix indicators with these units. This dimensional approach allows the system to manage precoding matrices across multiple port groups by organizing them in a structured frequency-domain framework, reducing the overall management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If precoding matrix indicators with vector information are transmitted for each frequency domain unit, then data transmission precision is improved, but signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission precisionVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by transmitting precoding matrix indicators only for first type frequency domain units that require precise precoding management. Not all frequency domain units need full precoding matrix indicators - only those where precision is critical. This selective approach maintains transmission precision where needed while reducing overall signaling overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting complete precoding matrices, the patent inverts the approach by transmitting compact precoding matrix indicators that reference predefined codebooks. This inversion from full matrix transmission to indicator-based referencing significantly reduces signaling overhead while preserving the essential precision information needed for accurate precoding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)
