Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional channel state information reporting methods are used, then the system complexity is high and resource overhead is large, but the accuracy of channel state information is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of channel state informationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The precoding matrix is segmented into multiple vectors (first group of vectors and second group of vectors), where the first group represents dominant spatial directions and the second group provides additional refinement. This segmentation allows the system to report only essential components, reducing complexity while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the most critical components of the channel state information - specifically the dominant spatial directions represented by the first group of vectors and their corresponding coefficients. By taking out only these essential elements for reporting, the system achieves accurate channel representation with reduced overhead and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Productivity

If traditional channel state information reporting methods are used, then the system complexity is high and resource overhead is large, but the data transmission efficiency is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidresource overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and reports only the essential components of precoding matrix information - the first group of vectors representing dominant spatial directions and their coefficients - while omitting redundant information. This extraction approach reduces resource overhead for CSI reporting while maintaining sufficient accuracy for efficient data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of reporting the complete precoding matrix information, the patent applies partial action by reporting only the first group of vectors and their coefficients, which capture the dominant characteristics of the channel. This partial reporting is sufficient for achieving good data transmission efficiency while significantly reducing resource overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
