Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems lack effective methods for reporting time-domain correlation properties (TDCP) of channels between user equipment and base stations, particularly in high-speed scenarios like high-speed railways and expressways, which affects service quality and handover procedures.

Innovation Solution

User equipment measures and reports various properties of channel state information (CSI) such as amplitudes, phases, real parts, differential doppler shifts, and doppler spread to the base station, using specific configurations and reporting parameters to ensure accurate TDCP reporting.

1Measurement precision

If traditional CSI reporting methods are used, then the system maintains simplicity in reporting procedures, but the accuracy of time-domain correlation property reporting deteriorates in high-speed scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveTDCP reporting accuracyVSAvoidreporting configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The CSI reporting configuration is segmented into multiple parameter groups (first, second, third, fourth parameter groups), each containing specific TDCP-related parameters such as amplitude, phase, real parts of channel correlations, and differential or doppler shifts. This segmentation allows the system to selectively activate only the necessary parameter groups based on channel conditions and user equipment capabilities, thereby improving TDCP reporting accuracy while managing reporting complexity through modular configuration.

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If detailed TDCP parameters are reported, then the service quality improves for high-speed users, but the signaling overhead and processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice qualityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements partial action by selectively reporting only the necessary TDCP parameters based on channel conditions and user equipment mobility characteristics. Instead of always reporting all possible parameters (amplitude, phase, real parts, differential shifts, doppler shifts), the network configures specific parameter groups that are most relevant for the current scenario, reducing signaling overhead while maintaining service quality for high-speed users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The TDCP reporting configuration is made dynamic through time restrictions and conditional activation of different parameter groups. The network can adjust which parameter groups are reported based on changing channel conditions, user speed, and service requirements. This dynamic configuration allows the system to optimize the balance between service quality and signaling overhead in real-time.
