Solution Overview

Problem

Current CSI feedback methods in 5G NR systems face challenges due to the lossy mapping process in codebook-based schemes and the difficulty of generalizing AI models across varying channel scenarios, especially with the increasing complexity of radio frequency environments.

Innovation Solution

A method is proposed that involves generating sample data based on a precoding matrix codebook to train an initial CSI feedback model, which then acquires a CSI feedback meta model. This meta model is used to train a target CSI feedback model, enabling efficient encoding and recovery of channel state information without the need for extensive CSI data acquisition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If codebook-based feedback scheme is used, then implementation simplicity is improved, but CSI feedback accuracy deteriorates due to lossy mapping

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidCSI feedback accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates synthetic CSI data by copying and transforming codebook entries through parameter modulation (e.g., changing SNR, channel characteristics) to generate diverse training samples without requiring actual channel measurements. This allows the AI model to learn from replicated channel states while maintaining the simplicity of codebook-based structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical codebook selection process with an AI-based neural network that processes CSI data non-linearly. The neural network substitutes the traditional codebook mapping mechanism, enabling more accurate CSI representation while maintaining system implementation simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If AI-based CSI feedback is used, then feedback accuracy is improved, but data acquisition difficulty worsens due to need for diverse channel data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback accuracyVSAvoiddata acquisition difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary data generation by creating synthetic CSI datasets before the actual communication system operation. By pre-generating diverse channel state data through parameter modulation of codebook entries, the system avoids the need to collect real channel data during deployment, significantly reducing data acquisition difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent copies and transforms existing codebook entries to create synthetic training data. By replicating channel states through parameter modulation (SNR, fading, multipath) rather than measuring actual channels, the system generates diverse datasets without the complexity of real-world data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Speed

If meta learning is used for fast adaptation, then adaptation speed is improved, but training data requirement worsens due to need for huge diverse samples

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation speedVSAvoidtraining data requirement
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent generates synthetic training data by copying and transforming codebook entries through parameter modulation. This creates artificial samples that mimic real channel conditions without requiring actual measurements, providing sufficient training data for meta-learning while avoiding the need for huge diverse real-world datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies parameters of codebook entries (such as SNR, channel fading characteristics, multipath components) to generate varied synthetic CSI data. By changing these parameters systematically, the system creates diverse training samples from a single codebook structure, reducing the quantity of real data needed for training.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
