Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies fail to accurately reflect the relationship between channel state information (CSI) and transmission points (TRP) during coordinated multi-point transmission, leading to unreliable network performance.

Innovation Solution

A method for acquiring and reporting CSI that includes resource configuration information for channel measurement, determining reporting configurations, and sending target CSI to a network device, which indicates recommended resources and transmission modes, ensuring a clear correspondence between CSI and TRP.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If CSI measurement is performed for multiple target reference points, then transmission diversity is improved, but the correspondence relationship between CSI and selected TRP cannot be reflected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission diversityVSAvoidcorrespondence relationship information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a mapping relationship as an intermediary element that connects resource sets to TRPs and CSI to transmission schemes. This mapping relationship serves as a mediator that preserves the correspondence information between CSI and selected TRP while enabling diverse transmission scenarios, thus resolving the information loss problem while maintaining transmission diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If resource sets are used as common-mode ratio for multiple TRP, then measurement coverage is improved, but the mapping between resources and TRP becomes unclear

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement coverageVSAvoidresource-TRP mapping complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource set into multiple subsets, where each subset corresponds to a specific TRP. This segmentation approach maintains comprehensive measurement coverage by including all resources while establishing clear, unambiguous mapping relationships between resources and TRPs through the subset structure, thereby reducing mapping complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If terminal calculates CSI according to different transmission scheme assumptions, then transmission mode flexibility is improved, but the reliability of network transmission cannot be guaranteed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission mode flexibilityVSAvoidnetwork transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal reports not only CSI values but also the corresponding transmission scheme assumptions and selected TRP information back to the network. This feedback loop enables the network to understand which transmission scheme the terminal prefers, allowing for reliable network transmission decisions while maintaining transmission mode flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
