Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the overhead for reporting channel state information is increased, then the accuracy of channel state information is improved, but the performance of the wireless system is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of channel state informationVSAvoidperformance of wireless system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the channel state information into different components (channel quality indicator, precoding matrix indicator, rank indicator) and applies different overhead constraints to different parts. The base station configures specific overhead limits for precoding matrix information reporting, allowing selective optimization of different CSI components to balance accuracy and system performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of overhead size for precoding matrix information reporting by configuring it within a constrained range. The base station adjusts the overhead parameter dynamically based on channel conditions and system requirements, optimizing the balance between CSI accuracy and wireless system performance through parameter tuning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the overhead for reporting channel state information is decreased, then the performance of the wireless system is improved, but the accuracy of channel state information is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance of wireless systemVSAvoidaccuracy of channel state information
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by reporting only the most critical precoding matrix information within the constrained overhead range, rather than reporting complete CSI. The terminal selectively reports precoding matrix indicators that provide sufficient accuracy for data transmission while staying within the overhead limits configured by the base station.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If the overhead for reporting precoding matrix information is increased, then the accuracy of precoding matrix information is improved, but the system complexity is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of precoding matrix informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential precoding matrix information from the complete channel state information and reports it separately with dedicated overhead constraints. By taking out the precoding matrix indicator as a distinct component with controlled overhead, the system achieves accurate precoding while managing overall complexity through selective extraction and separate handling of critical parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
