Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting and receiving channel state information (CSI) due to resource constraints and the need for high-speed data transfer, low latency, and energy efficiency, particularly in next-generation mobile communication systems.

Innovation Solution

A method for transmitting CSI by generating a codebook based on specific parameter sets, which are adjusted according to rank value or layer index, allowing for reduced payload size and omission of CSI when resources are insufficient, while maintaining orthogonality between beams using an orthogonal cover code.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If CSI reporting includes detailed parameters for high precision channel state information, then measurement precision is improved, but payload size increases causing resource constraints

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel state information precisionVSAvoidCSI payload size
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The codebook is segmented into multiple codebook groups, each associated with different parameter sets. The UE selects one codebook group and reports PMI accordingly, dividing the large codebook into manageable segments that reduce reporting overhead while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different parameter sets are configured for different codebook groups, allowing the system to change parameters dynamically based on channel conditions. This enables precise CSI reporting when needed while reducing payload size through parameter optimization in other conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If CSI reporting includes all parameters for accurate channel state information, then information completeness is improved, but resource consumption increases when resources are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI information completenessVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial CSI reporting by selecting specific codebook groups and parameters based on available resources. When resources are limited, the UE reports only the most essential CSI parameters rather than all parameters, achieving acceptable information completeness with reduced resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes reporting parameters dynamically based on resource availability. Configuration information includes multiple parameter sets that can be selected according to resource conditions, allowing the system to maintain information completeness when resources permit while conserving energy when resources are constrained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If codebook is generated with fixed parameters for simplicity, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different rank values and layer indexes decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecodebook generation complexityVSAvoidcodebook adaptability to rank and layer
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The codebook generation system is made dynamic by associating different parameter sets with different codebook groups. The UE selects the appropriate codebook group based on detected channel conditions, rank values, and layer indexes, allowing the system to adapt to varying conditions without requiring complex real-time codebook generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple parameter sets are pre-configured and associated with different codebook groups before transmission. This preliminary preparation allows the UE to quickly select the appropriate parameter set based on detected conditions, reducing real-time processing complexity while maintaining high adaptability to different rank and layer configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If CSI reporting includes comprehensive parameters for beam orthogonality verification, then reliability is improved, but payload size increases reducing reporting efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam orthogonality assuranceVSAvoidCSI reporting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses different parameter sets for different codebook groups to ensure beam orthogonality. By changing parameters based on the selected codebook group, the system can verify orthogonality reliability without including all possible verification parameters in every report, thus maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
