Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If type-II Doppler CSI with full codebook is used, then CSI accuracy is improved, but computational complexity and overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The codebook is segmented into multiple subsets, each representing different spatial domain bases. The network can restrict the UE to report CSI only from specific codebook subsets, dividing the full codebook into manageable parts that reduce computational complexity while maintaining reporting accuracy for restricted dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extracts and removes unnecessary codebook subsets from the CSI reporting process. By configuring CBSR parameters, the network identifies and excludes specific spatial domain bases that are not needed for accurate CSI reporting, thereby reducing the computational burden on the UE while preserving essential CSI accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Loss of information

If full codebook CSI reporting is implemented, then CSI completeness is improved, but uplink overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI completenessVSAvoiduplink overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The CSI report is segmented into different codebook subsets. The CBSR configuration enables the network to specify which subsets are relevant, allowing the UE to report only the necessary portions. This segmentation reduces uplink overhead by eliminating redundant CSI reports while maintaining completeness for the restricted dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of requiring complete CSI reporting across all codebook subsets, the invention applies partial action by restricting reports to only the necessary codebook subsets identified through CBSR configuration. This partial reporting approach reduces uplink overhead while providing sufficient CSI information for effective downlink transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If codebook subset restriction is applied, then computational overhead is reduced, but CSI reporting flexibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI reporting efficiencyVSAvoidCSI reporting flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The CBSR configuration is dynamic and can be adjusted based on channel conditions and network requirements. The network can update the codebook subset restrictions through RRC reconfiguration, allowing the system to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining reduced computational overhead. This dynamic adjustment preserves flexibility despite the restrictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the CBSR parameters (codebook subset restrictions) based on network conditions and requirements. By modifying these parameters dynamically, the system can optimize CSI reporting efficiency for different scenarios while maintaining the ability to adapt to various channel conditions and service requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
