Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the network device configures CSI reporting parameters without considering time domain capability, then the spatial and frequency domain configurations can be optimized, but the terminal device's processing complexity exceeds its capability leading to reporting failure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces time domain capability parameters (quantity of time domain units for PMI, quantity of CSI-RS resources, quantity of ports) to the existing capability reporting framework. By adding these temporal dimensions to the capability parameters, the system can now adjust CSI reporting configurations to match the terminal's actual processing capacity across space, frequency, and time domains, preventing overload and reporting failures.
2Measurement precision
If the network device increases the quantity of time domain units for CSI reporting, then the CSI accuracy can be improved, but the terminal device's processing complexity increases beyond its capability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal device reports its time domain capability parameters (maximum quantity of time domain units for PMI, maximum quantity of CSI-RS resources, maximum quantity of ports) to the network device. The network device then uses this feedback to appropriately configure the CSI reporting parameters, ensuring that the requested CSI accuracy does not exceed the terminal's processing capability.
3Measurement precision
If the network device configures more CSI-RS resources and ports, then the CSI measurement precision can be enhanced, but the terminal device may fail to process within its capability limits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the CSI reporting configuration dynamic by introducing capability-based adaptation. The terminal device dynamically reports its capability parameters (quantity of time domain units, quantity of CSI-RS resources, quantity of ports), and the network device dynamically adjusts the CSI reporting configuration based on these reported capabilities. This dynamic matching ensures that the system can adapt to different terminal capabilities while maintaining optimal CSI measurement precision.
