Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in transmitting and receiving reference signals and measurement reports, particularly in managing channel state information (CSI) with varying priority levels and payload sizes, which affects network energy consumption and resource allocation.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system that differentiates priority levels for group 0, group 1, and group 2 CSI, allowing for the omission of part 2 CSI at a sub-configuration level and prioritizing CSI reports based on configured sub-reports and power offset values to optimize resource usage and energy efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If all CSI reports are transmitted without omission, then measurement precision is improved, but network energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI measurement precisionVSAvoidnetwork energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively transmitting only necessary CSI reports based on priority levels and payload sizes. When uplink resources are limited, the system transmits high-priority CSI reports (e.g., group 0 CSI) while omitting lower-priority ones (e.g., group 2 CSI), achieving a balance between measurement precision and energy consumption by performing the transmission function partially rather than completely

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of CSI report transmission by dynamically adjusting which CSI groups are transmitted based on priority levels, payload sizes, and available uplink resources. This parameter change allows the network to adapt transmission behavior to current conditions, reducing energy consumption while maintaining essential measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If CSI reports with large payload sizes are transmitted, then information completeness is improved, but resource allocation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI information completenessVSAvoidresource allocation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments CSI reports into different priority groups (group 0, group 1, group 2) with varying payload sizes. This segmentation allows the system to transmit information in prioritized portions, ensuring that critical CSI information is transmitted first while lower-priority information can be omitted when resources are constrained, thus improving resource allocation efficiency without completely sacrificing information completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial transmission of CSI information by selectively including or omitting specific CSI groups based on payload size and resource availability. This partial action approach ensures that the most important CSI information is transmitted while avoiding the resource exhaustion that would result from transmitting all CSI data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If priority differentiation for CSI groups is implemented, then resource allocation efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidUE processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements priority differentiation by changing the parameter of CSI report configuration to include priority levels and payload size categories. This parameter change enables the UE to automatically differentiate between CSI groups and apply appropriate transmission strategies, improving resource allocation efficiency while keeping the complexity increase manageable through standardized priority levels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
