Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a fixed ratio of PDSCH EPRE to CSI-RS EPRE is used in CSI reporting calculation, then the system operation is simple, but the CSI reporting accuracy deteriorates when channel conditions change

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI reporting accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from a fixed EPRE ratio to a dynamic determination mechanism. The CSI-RS EPRE is now determined based on actual transmission occasions and power control offsets rather than a predetermined fixed value, allowing the system to adapt to changing channel conditions and improve CSI reporting accuracy without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter approach by introducing power control offsets that modify the CSI-RS EPRE value. Instead of using a static ratio, the system now adjusts the EPRE parameter dynamically based on transmission power adjustments and power control configurations, enabling accurate CSI reporting under varying power conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the CSI-RS EPRE is adjusted to match actual transmission power, then the CSI reporting accuracy is improved, but the network energy consumption increases due to more frequent power adjustments

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI reporting accuracyVSAvoidnetwork energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes through power control offsets to adjust CSI-RS EPRE dynamically. By modifying the EPRE parameter based on actual transmission power rather than maintaining fixed values, the system achieves accurate CSI reporting while allowing flexible energy management through controlled parameter adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the UE measures actual CSI-RS EPRE in transmission occasions and uses this information to calculate CSI reporting with appropriate power adjustments. This feedback loop enables accurate channel state reporting that reflects actual transmission conditions without requiring continuous full-power transmissions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If different EPRE values are used in different transmission occasions of CSI-RS resources, then the adaptability to channel conditions is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple EPRE management requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to channel conditionsVSAvoidEPRE management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by allowing different EPRE values in different transmission occasions of CSI-RS resources. The system dynamically selects and applies appropriate EPRE values based on actual transmission conditions, enabling adaptability to changing channel conditions while using power control offsets to manage the complexity of handling multiple EPRE values

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by allowing different EPRE values for different CSI-RS resources and transmission occasions based on local channel conditions. Each CSI-RS resource can have its own power control offset and EPRE configuration, enabling localized adaptation without requiring complex global EPRE management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
