Solution Overview

Problem

In multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, configuring a reference signal sequence to minimize interference and reduce peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in symbol sending processes is challenging.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating a sequence used to configure a reference signal, where the initialization factor is calculated based on specific parameters such as a port number or CDM group identity, to avoid using the same sequence for different CDM groups and reduce PAPR of DMRS symbols.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the same sequence is used for different CDM groups, then device complexity is reduced, but interference occurs between different CDM groups

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesequence generation complexityVSAvoidinterference between CDM groups
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the sequence initialization factor dependent on the CDM group identity. Different CDM groups use different initialization factors (cinit values) in the sequence generation formula, creating locally differentiated sequences for each CDM group while maintaining the overall system structure. This resolves the contradiction by introducing minimal complexity only where needed (in the initialization parameter) to prevent interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the initialization parameter (cinit) of the sequence generation based on CDM group identity. By modifying this key parameter according to the CDM group, the system generates distinct sequences for different groups without changing the overall sequence structure or generation mechanism, thus preventing interference while maintaining simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional sequence generation is used, then implementation is simple, but peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of DMRS symbols is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesequence generation implementationVSAvoidPAPR of DMRS symbols
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the initialization factor parameter in the sequence generation formula to reduce PAPR. By using a specific calculation method for cinit that incorporates the CDM group identity and other parameters, the generated sequences have lower peak power characteristics while maintaining the same generation structure and implementation complexity.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If reference signal sequence is configured to minimize interference, then communication reliability is improved, but sequence configuration complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidsequence configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating sequences only at the initialization factor level for different CDM groups. This localized differentiation ensures reliable separation between groups without requiring complex overall reconfiguration of the sequence generation system, thus improving reliability with minimal complexity increase.
