Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the operation cycle into distinct uplink and downlink phases, allowing separate channel estimation for each direction. This segmentation enables the system to obtain independent channel state information for uplink and downlink, which is then used to process echo signals and eliminate multipath interference through coordinated processing of signals from both phases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the uplink channel estimation result is used to guide the processing of downlink echo signals. By feeding back the channel information obtained in the uplink phase to the downlink signal processing, the system can compensate for multipath effects and improve detection accuracy through iterative refinement of channel state information.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides each operation cycle into uplink and downlink phases, enabling separate channel estimation for each transmission direction. This segmentation allows the system to obtain direction-specific channel state information, which is crucial for accurately processing echo signals and eliminating multipath interference, thereby improving detection accuracy without excessive complexity increase.
