Solution Overview

Problem

In multi-cell HSDPA systems, existing technologies face challenges in ensuring uniform CQI reception performance across multiple cells, leading to inefficiencies in CQI transmission and system performance.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced where control information groups are classified and compensated to secure uniform reception performance at the base station, involving the use of different block codes and transmission power adjustments for CQI transmission channels, ensuring superior error correction and consistent reception.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If CQI information for multiple cells is transmitted using the same block code, then the transmission process is simple, but the reception performance is non-uniform across different cells

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission process complexityVSAvoidCQI reception performance uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The CQI information for multiple cells is segmented into different groups, with each group assigned a specific block code. This segmentation allows different error correction capabilities to be applied to different cell groups, ensuring uniform reception performance while maintaining manageable complexity through systematic classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different block codes with varying error correction capabilities are assigned to different CQI groups based on their specific requirements. This local quality approach ensures that each cell group receives appropriate error correction treatment, achieving uniform reception performance across all cells rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If different block codes are used for different CQI groups, then uniform reception performance is achieved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCQI reception performance uniformityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments CQI information into distinct groups that can be processed with different block codes. This segmentation organizes the complexity into manageable sections, where each group follows a defined encoding rule, making the overall system complexity controllable despite using multiple block codes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs a universal framework that handles multiple block codes through a common classification and transmission mechanism. This multi-functionality allows the system to accommodate different error correction requirements while maintaining a unified processing architecture, thereby limiting the increase in system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If CQI transmission power is increased, then reception performance improves, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCQI reception performanceVSAvoidtransmission power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of uniformly increasing transmission power for all CQI information, the system changes the error correction parameter (block code type) to achieve better reception performance. This parameter change approach improves reliability through enhanced error correction capability rather than simply increasing power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
