Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems face challenges in accurately recovering channel state information (CSI) from user equipment to network devices, particularly in large-scale MIMO systems, leading to limited system throughput and inefficient resource usage.
Innovation Solution
A method for processing CSI is introduced, where a terminal device generates CSI indication information based on a CSI indication information type and transmits it to a network device, allowing the network device to determine the CSI indication information and type, utilizing encoding and decoding neural network models to improve accuracy and resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional CSI feedback methods are used, then the system implementation is simple, but the CSI recovery accuracy is insufficient leading to limited system throughput
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary information element (EI) that carries CSI indication information between the terminal and network device. This EI acts as a mediator that enables accurate CSI recovery without requiring complex direct processing, thus improving measurement precision while controlling device complexity through standardized information exchange protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation by introducing multiple types of CSI indication information (first type, second type, third type) with different bit lengths and structures. This parameter transformation allows the system to adaptively represent CSI with varying precision levels, improving overall recovery accuracy while managing complexity through parameter differentiation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed CSI indication information structure is used, then the processing is simple, but the adaptability to different channel conditions is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adaptability by defining multiple types of CSI indication information that can be selected based on different channel conditions and system configurations. The terminal and network device can dynamically choose appropriate indication types (first, second, or third type) with varying bit lengths and structures, enabling the system to adapt to diverse scenarios without excessive processing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal CSI feedback mechanism that handles multiple scenarios through a unified information element structure. The same EI framework supports different CSI indication types, allowing the system to universally manage various channel conditions, terminal capabilities, and network configurations through a single adaptable protocol.
3Measurement precision
If detailed CSI information is transmitted, then the recovery accuracy improves, but the resource usage efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the necessary portion of CSI information based on current system needs. Through multiple types of indication information with different granularities, the system transmits sufficient data for accurate recovery without excessive detail, optimizing the balance between measurement precision and resource consumption by sending only what is currently required.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments CSI indication information into multiple types (first, second, third types) with different bit lengths and detail levels. This segmentation allows the system to transmit appropriately detailed information for each specific scenario, avoiding the energy cost of always transmitting maximum-detail CSI while maintaining sufficient accuracy for each case through selective segmentation.
