Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In machine type communication (MTC), the receiving end faces difficulty in determining the precoding matrix when using CRS and DMRS joint channel estimation due to the absence of PMI feedback, which hinders the performance enhancement of the MPDCCH.
Innovation Solution
The method involves determining the precoding matrix based on PMI feedback and precoding parameters, including time-domain thresholds, repetition numbers, aggregation levels, and resource sets, to ensure consistent precoding matrix usage across control channel subframes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If CRS and DMRS joint channel estimation is adopted to enhance MPDCCH performance, then channel estimation accuracy is improved, but the receiving end cannot determine the precoding matrix when PMI feedback is enabled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes PMI feedback from the receiving end to enable the transmitting end to determine the precoding matrix. The feedback mechanism allows the system to adaptively select and apply the correct precoding matrix, resolving the information loss problem while maintaining channel estimation accuracy through CRS and DMRS joint estimation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent pre-configures multiple precoding matrices in a codebook structure before transmission. The transmitting end selects the appropriate precoding matrix based on PMI feedback and applies it to the control channel, ensuring that the precoding matrix information is available and correctly applied without requiring real-time determination during the transmission process.
2Measurement precision
If PMI feedback is enabled to determine precoding matrix, then precoding matrix determination is improved, but the complexity of channel estimation and data demodulation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the precoding matrix determination process into distinct phases: PMI feedback reception, precoding matrix selection from codebook, and application to control channel. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by handling precoding matrix determination separately from channel estimation and data demodulation, while maintaining accurate precoding matrix identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs the precoding matrix determination mechanism to serve multiple functions: it enables accurate channel estimation, facilitates data demodulation, and maintains compatibility with both PMI feedback enabled and disabled modes. The CRS and DMRS joint estimation approach works universally across different transmission scenarios, reducing overall system complexity.
