Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing channel state information (CSI) due to the increasing demand for higher data rates, larger device connectivity, and low latency, necessitating improved methods for CSI reporting and configuration.
Innovation Solution
The method involves configuring multiple CSI-reference signals (CSI-RS) with different Control Resource Set (CORESET) pool indices for enhanced CSI acquisition, allowing user equipment (UE) and base stations to transmit and receive CSI more effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple CSI-reference signals with different CORESET pool indices are configured, then CSI acquisition accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the CSI measurement process by configuring multiple separate CSI-RS resources with different CORESET pool indices. Each CSI-RS resource corresponds to a specific transmission point or panel, allowing the UE to independently measure and report CSI for each segment. This segmentation enables accurate CSI acquisition for multi-TRP scenarios while maintaining manageable complexity through structured resource configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the CORESET pool index dimension to differentiate between multiple CSI-RS resources. By adding this additional configuration dimension, the system can distinguish between different transmission points or panels, enabling the UE to perform separate CSI measurements for each dimension. This dimensional approach resolves the contradiction by providing structured organization that improves measurement accuracy without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Productivity
If multiple CSI-reference signals are transmitted for enhanced CSI reporting, then data traffic support is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic CSI reporting mechanisms where the UE selectively reports CSI based on configured thresholds and traffic conditions. The system dynamically activates or deactivates specific CSI-RS resources and reporting instances according to current data traffic requirements, ensuring energy is consumed only when enhanced CSI reporting is necessary for supporting high data traffic scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes reporting parameters such as reporting periodicity, granularity, and resource allocation based on traffic conditions. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system can support high data traffic when needed while reducing energy consumption during lower traffic periods, resolving the contradiction between productivity and energy usage.
3Speed
If CSI reporting is enhanced with multiple reference signals, then transmission rate is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent configures multiple CSI-RS resources and reporting parameters in advance through RRC signaling and MAC-CE activation. This preliminary configuration allows the UE to have ready-to-use measurement resources and reporting structures, enabling rapid CSI reporting when triggered without requiring time-consuming setup procedures at the moment of reporting, thus resolving the contradiction between transmission rate and reporting time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic CSI reporting mechanisms where reports are transmitted at predetermined intervals or upon specific triggering events. This periodic approach ensures that up-to-date CSI is available for high transmission rates while optimizing the timing of reports to minimize time loss, balancing the contradiction between speed and time consumption.
