Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current encoding techniques in wireless communications systems fail to adapt dynamically to network conditions, particularly in terms of distribution matching parameters for constellation shaping, leading to suboptimal signal modulation and reliability.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a constellation shaping encoding process with configurable distribution matching parameters based on dynamic network conditions, where user equipment receives and applies encoding parameters to calculate bit subsets for improved signal modulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current encoding techniques are used, then device complexity is reduced, but signal modulation adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic configuration of distribution matching parameters based on network conditions. The base station receives feedback about channel state and dynamically adjusts constellation shaping parameters, transforming the static encoding process into a dynamic adaptive system that responds to changing network conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes encoding parameters (distribution matching parameters, constellation shaping parameters) based on network conditions and feedback. By varying these parameters dynamically, the system adapts signal modulation to current channel characteristics, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and adaptability.
2Reliability
If constellation shaping encoding process is implemented, then communication quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the source bit stream into multiple subsets and applies different distribution matching parameters to different segments. This segmentation allows complex constellation shaping to be broken down into manageable parts, improving communication quality while making the implementation more tractable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the UE reports channel state information and the base station adjusts encoding parameters accordingly. This feedback loop enables the system to achieve high communication quality by adapting to actual channel conditions without requiring overly complex predetermined encoding schemes.
3Reliability
If distribution matching parameters are configured dynamically, then signal reliability is improved, but processing overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary configuration of distribution matching parameters based on predicted network conditions or historical data. By pre-configuring parameters before actual transmission, the system reduces real-time processing overhead while maintaining signal reliability through proactive adaptation.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a configuration indicating a set of encoding parameters corresponding to a constellation shaping encoding process. The UE may calculate a number of bits of a first subset of a source bit stream, and the first subset of the source bit stream may include or encompass an input to a distribution matcher. The UE may apply, to the first subset, a distribution matcher parameter based on the set of encoding parameters. The UE may calculate a number of bits of a second subset of the source bit stream, and the second subset of the source bit stream may be concatenated with an output bit stream of the distribution matcher as an input to a channel encoder. The UE may signal the source bit stream to the base station.
