Distance-Partitioned Precoding Codebooks for Near-Field CSI Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing 5G standards rely on DFT codebooks that lead to increased feedback errors due to the lack of distance-domain partitioning, degrading communication system transmission performance, especially in near-field scenarios.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a codebook with distance-domain partitioning by using a precoding matrix formed of vectors generated by functions with parameters from candidate sets, ensuring the difference between adjacent elements is distinct, allowing accurate channel state information feedback.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If DFT codebook is employed for CSI feedback, then the codebook structure is simple and easy to implement, but feedback errors increase and transmission performance degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The codebook is segmented into multiple subsets based on distance-domain partitioning. Each subset corresponds to a specific distance range, allowing the system to select the appropriate subset for near-field or far-field scenarios. This segmentation enables the codebook to adapt to different transmission scenarios while maintaining implementation simplicity through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces distance as a new parameter for codebook selection, changing from traditional angle-only parameterization. By incorporating distance-domain partitioning with multiple candidate sets, the system can adjust codebook parameters based on the actual transmission distance, improving CSI feedback accuracy without significantly complicating the overall implementation.
2Measurement precision
If distance-domain partitioning is implemented, then CSI feedback accuracy improves, but codebook complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The codebook is divided into multiple distance-based subsets, each containing precoding matrices appropriate for specific distance ranges. This segmentation strategy improves measurement precision by selecting the most suitable precoding matrices for the actual transmission scenario while keeping the overall structure organized and manageable through clear distance-based categorization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds distance as an additional dimension to the traditional angle-based codebook parameterization. By introducing distance-domain partitioning alongside angle-domain partitioning, the system achieves more accurate CSI feedback without overwhelming complexity, as the distance parameter provides an intuitive and physically meaningful way to organize codebook entries.
3Adaptability or versatility
If DFT codebook is used, then the system is well-suited for far-field scenarios, but performance degrades in near-field scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The codebook system is made dynamic by allowing selection of different codebook subsets based on the transmission distance. For near-field scenarios, the system selects from near-field optimized subsets, while for far-field scenarios, it uses traditional DFT codebook subsets. This dynamic adaptation maintains far-field suitability while improving near-field performance through context-aware codebook selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The enhanced codebook structure serves multiple functions by incorporating both near-field and far-field optimized precoding matrices within a single unified codebook framework. The distance-domain partitioning enables the same codebook structure to adapt to different transmission scenarios, providing universal applicability across both near-field and far-field communications.
