Solution Overview

Problem

Existing CSI feedback methods in AI/ML-based wireless communication systems face challenges in effectively transmitting channel state information due to insufficient allocation of uplink transmission resources, leading to incomplete or inaccurate CSI recovery at the base station.

Innovation Solution

The method involves splitting first CSI into at least two pieces of sub-CSI, which are then fed back over separate uplink transmission resources, allowing for complete recovery at the base station.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single uplink transmission resource is allocated for CSI feedback, then resource allocation is simple, but the CSI cannot be transmitted completely and accurately

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation complexityVSAvoidCSI information completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the CSI feedback into multiple parts by splitting the CSI into first CSI and second CSI, where the first CSI is transmitted on a first uplink transmission resource and the second CSI is transmitted on a second uplink transmission resource. This segmentation allows complete CSI transmission while maintaining manageable resource allocation complexity through structured division of the feedback content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If multiple CSI reports are transmitted over the same uplink transmission resource, then resource utilization is improved, but the transmission becomes conflicting and incomplete

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidCSI transmission accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the CSI feedback process into multiple transmission resources, assigning the first CSI to a first uplink transmission resource and the second CSI to a second uplink transmission resource. This eliminates transmission conflicts while maintaining high resource utilization efficiency by strategically distributing CSI components across multiple resources rather than overloading a single resource.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If part of the CSI bits are dropped to fit the uplink transmission resource, then the transmission resource is fully utilized, but the base station cannot recover the compressed channel information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission resource utilizationVSAvoidchannel information integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the CSI into distinct first CSI and second CSI portions, transmitting them on separate uplink transmission resources. This segmentation ensures that no CSI bits are dropped or truncated, maintaining full information integrity for channel recovery while achieving optimal resource utilization by distributing the complete CSI across multiple resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-dimensional transmission approach to a multi-dimensional approach by utilizing multiple uplink transmission resources in different time slots or frequency domains. This dimensional expansion allows the complete CSI to be transmitted without truncation, maintaining information integrity while fully utilizing the available transmission capacity across the expanded resource space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
