Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing Channel State Information (CSI) feedback, particularly in multi-antenna and multi-user scenarios, which affects the accuracy of precoding and resource allocation.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves advanced CSI reporting mechanisms, including the use of 2D antenna arrays, Channel State Information Reference Signals (CSI-RS), and enhanced codebooks like the NR Rel-16 Type II codebook, which enable more detailed CSI feedback and improved precoding accuracy.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If advanced CSI reporting mechanisms with 2D antenna arrays and enhanced codebooks are used, then measurement precision and reliability are improved, but device complexity and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the CSI feedback process into multiple stages: first determining a base precoding matrix from a codebook, then applying separate angle and delay offset parameters to adjust the precoding for reciprocity. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high precision channel state estimation while managing complexity by breaking down the overall CSI reporting into manageable components that can be processed independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces specific parameter changes by using angle offsets and delay offsets as adjustment parameters to the base precoding matrix. Instead of requiring complete re-measurement and full CSI reporting, the system changes key parameters (angle and delay offsets) that can be determined with lower complexity and then applies these changes to the base precoding to achieve the desired precision for CJT with reciprocity.
2Productivity
If detailed CSI feedback is implemented to improve precoding accuracy, then data rates and spectral efficiency increase, but feedback overhead and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential adjustment information (angle offsets and delay offsets) from the complete CSI feedback process. Instead of requiring full detailed CSI feedback, the system extracts the critical parameters needed to adjust precoding for reciprocity, thereby reducing feedback overhead and processing time while still achieving the necessary precoding accuracy to maintain high data rates and spectral efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If multiple NZP CSI-RS resources are configured for channel measurement, then channel state estimation accuracy is improved, but resource overhead and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the frequency domain basis window configuration universal across multiple NZP CSI-RS resources. By configuring a single frequency domain basis window that can be applied to multiple CSI-RS resources, the system achieves improved channel measurement accuracy through multiple resources while avoiding the proportional increase in overhead that would result from configuring separate frequency domain basis windows for each resource. This multi-functionality approach reduces reference signal overhead while maintaining measurement precision.
