Solution Overview

Problem

As the number of antennas increases in MIMO wireless communication, the pilot and channel state feedback information also increases, leading to a decrease in the actual effective data transmission rate.

Innovation Solution

A method involving acquiring sampling data at a target location point, determining a target data stream number and a target precoding matrix using a neural network model, and calculating a channel quality indicator to infer channel state information without feedback, thereby avoiding the increase in feedback information.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the quantity of antennas is increased to improve signal quality and transmission capacity, then the MIMO transmission capability is enhanced, but the pilot and channel state feedback information increases, resulting in a decrease in the actual effective data transmission rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidfeedback information volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and selects only the most critical channel state parameters (precoding matrix indicator and channel quality indicator) from the complete channel state information, discarding redundant information. This extraction approach reduces feedback volume while maintaining essential transmission quality, directly resolving the contradiction between transmission capacity and feedback overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of uniformly processing all antenna elements, the patent applies selective sampling at specific location points within the base station coverage area. By focusing computational resources on critical spatial locations and selecting parameters locally rather than globally, the system reduces overall feedback requirements while maintaining effective transmission quality where it matters most.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses neural network models to generate accurate copies or estimates of channel state parameters at unsampled location points based on data from sampled points. This copying approach allows the system to maintain reliable signal quality across the entire coverage area while only collecting feedback from selective location points, thereby reducing overall feedback volume.
