Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multi-antenna systems are deployed to increase system capacity and improve signal reception, then diversity gain and signal-to-noise ratio are improved, but device complexity and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal reception qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential channel state information (CSI) feedback components needed for precoding optimization, separating them from full channel measurement requirements. By taking out only the necessary PMI and CQI feedback elements, the system achieves improved signal reception quality while reducing the complexity burden of processing complete channel matrices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial feedback by transmitting only the most significant channel state information (top K largest singular values and corresponding singular vectors) rather than complete channel data. This partial action approach maintains sufficient precoding performance while dramatically reducing feedback overhead and receiver complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Productivity

If channel feedback is transmitted to optimize precoding performance, then system capacity and signal-to-noise ratio are improved, but feedback overhead and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential precoding information (top K singular values and vectors) from complete channel state information, transmitting solely what is needed for optimal precoding. This extraction eliminates redundant feedback data, reducing energy consumption for feedback transmission while maintaining system capacity improvements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the feedback parameter representation from full channel matrices to compressed forms (singular value decomposition components). By transforming the feedback into a more efficient parameter representation, the system achieves the same precoding performance with significantly reduced feedback overhead and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the most critical precoding parameters (top K singular values and corresponding singular vectors) from complete channel state information. By taking out only these essential elements for CQI and PMI reporting, the system maintains high precoding performance while minimizing feedback message size and processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial feedback by transmitting only the top K most significant channel components rather than complete channel data. This partial action maintains sufficient precoding performance for reliable communication while dramatically reducing feedback message efficiency requirements and processing complexity.
