CSI Feedback Overhead Reduction via Codebook Subset Restriction Bitmap
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting and receiving channel state information (CSI) due to high interference and increased overhead, particularly in multi-antenna systems like 2D AAS, which affects data transfer rates and energy efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method for configuring codebook subset restriction (CSR) is proposed, where a bitmap is used to restrict the reporting of precoding matrix indicators (PMI) and rank indicators (RI) in CSI feedback, specifically for New Radio Access Technology (NR) systems, to reduce inter-cell interference and feedback overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If full CSI feedback is transmitted in multi-antenna systems, then channel state information completeness is improved, but feedback overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the most critical CSI components (PMI and RI) while omitting less important feedback information. By selectively extracting essential channel state information and transmitting only these key parameters, the system reduces feedback overhead while maintaining sufficient channel state awareness for effective communication.
2Productivity
If comprehensive CSI reporting is performed, then data transfer rate is improved, but inter-cell interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the necessary CSI components (PMI and RI) rather than complete channel state information. This partial feedback approach provides sufficient channel state knowledge for maintaining good data transfer rates while significantly reducing the amount of information transmitted, thereby lowering inter-cell interference.
3Manufacturing precision
If detailed PMI reporting is enabled, then precoding accuracy is improved, but feedback overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential PMI information needed for effective precoding while excluding redundant details. By taking out only the critical precoding matrix indicator components and transmitting these selectively, the system achieves sufficient precoding accuracy without the overhead burden of complete detailed reporting.

AI summary
A method for transmitting channel state information performed by a User Equipment (UE) may include receiving, from a base station, a bitmap for configuring codebook subset restriction (CSR) and reporting, to the base station, Channel State Information (CSI), when a number of antenna ports is configured as 16 or more and a number of layers associated with a rank indicator (RI) in the CSI is 3 or 4, a unit of multiple bits in a bitmap for configuring the CSR is associated with each precoder, and a reporting of precoding matrix indicator (PMI) corresponding to the precoder associated with the multiple bits is restricted in the CSI, when the CSR is indicated in any one of the multiple bits, and each bit in the bitmap for configuring the CSR is associated with each precoder.
