Solution Overview

Problem

The introduction of artificial intelligence technology for intelligent CSI feedback in new radio (NR) systems lacks a specific solution for determining the content of CSI reports.

Innovation Solution

A method for CSI reporting that includes receiving network configuration information, obtaining a CSI report comprising compressed channel information and/or interference measurement results, and reporting these to the network device, with priority-based dropping mechanisms for reducing feedback overhead when resources are limited.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If intelligent CSI feedback with AI technology is introduced, then CSI feedback accuracy is improved, but feedback overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI feedback accuracyVSAvoidfeedback overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The CSI report is divided into two parts: part 1 containing essential CSI information (RI, CQI, PMI) and part 2 containing detailed channel information. This segmentation allows the network to receive critical feedback while reducing overall overhead by selectively processing different parts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes unnecessary or redundant information from the CSI feedback process. By identifying and eliminating non-essential elements from the feedback report, the system reduces feedback overhead while preserving the most important channel state information needed for effective communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Productivity

If detailed channel information is included in CSI report, then network performance is improved, but feedback overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork performanceVSAvoidfeedback overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Different parts of the CSI report are assigned different levels of detail and processing. Part 1 contains condensed essential information for quick processing, while part 2 contains more detailed channel information when needed. This local quality approach ensures that the system provides detailed information where necessary while maintaining efficiency elsewhere.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements partial action by selectively including detailed channel information in the CSI report based on network conditions and requirements. Instead of always transmitting full detailed information, the system transmits only the necessary portion, reducing overhead while maintaining network performance when conditions warrant detailed feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of information

If CSI report includes all measurement information, then measurement completeness is improved, but reporting complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement completenessVSAvoidreporting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reporting process is segmented into structured parts with clear definitions. Part 1 contains essential measurement results (RI, CQI, PMI) that are always reported, while part 2 contains additional detailed channel information that can be reported selectively. This segmentation reduces reporting complexity by providing a clear framework for what information must be included versus what is optional.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The CSI reporting mechanism is designed to be universal and adaptable. The same reporting structure can accommodate different measurement scenarios and network conditions by selectively including or excluding parts of the report. This multi-functionality allows the system to maintain measurement completeness while managing reporting complexity through a flexible, standardized approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
