Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
High-speed train (HST) channel propagation poses challenges due to high Doppler variation, mobility constraints, and interference between reference signals, which degrade channel estimation and increase complexity for user equipment (UE) in wireless communications systems.
Innovation Solution
Implementing quasi co-location (QCL) type for Doppler pre-compensated reference signals, where base stations transmit pre-compensated TRSs from multiple TRPs to UE, allowing for separate Doppler pre-compensation of reference signals to mitigate interference and improve channel estimation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If reference signals are transmitted from multiple TRPs without pre-compensation, then coverage area is extended, but interference between reference signals increases and channel estimation accuracy degrades
Solution Approach 1:
The base station performs Doppler pre-compensation on reference signals before transmission from multiple TRPs. This preliminary action adjusts the frequency of reference signals to account for expected Doppler shifts, ensuring that signals arrive at the UE with reduced interference and improved channel estimation accuracy despite being transmitted from multiple locations
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the frequency parameter of reference signals through Doppler pre-compensation. By adjusting the frequency of reference signals transmitted from different TRPs, the system optimizes signal alignment at the receiver, reducing interference while maintaining extended coverage area
2Measurement precision
If Doppler pre-compensation is applied to reference signals from multiple TRPs, then channel estimation accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station automatically calculates and applies Doppler pre-compensation values for multiple TRPs based on known parameters such as TRP locations, UE velocity, and signal frequencies. This self-service approach improves channel estimation accuracy without requiring complex manual configuration or additional signaling overhead
3Productivity
If reference signals from multiple TRPs are transmitted simultaneously, then network capacity is increased, but reference signal interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base station applies Doppler pre-compensation to counteract the harmful interference effects before reference signals are transmitted from multiple TRPs. This preliminary anti-action adjusts signal frequencies to prevent destructive interference, enabling simultaneous transmission from multiple TRPs while maintaining high network capacity

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station that may include at least two transmission reception points (TRPs) next to a high speed train (HST) may transmit, to a user equipment (UE) on the HST, an indication of a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship indicating a relationship between a plurality of tracking reference signals (TRSs) and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a data channel. The plurality of TRSs may include a first TRS and a second TRS. The UE may receive, from a first TRP, the first TRS associated with an occasion of the data channel, and receive, from a second TRP, the second TRS associated with the occasion of the data channel. The UE may perform, based on the indication of the QCL relationship, a channel estimation procedure for the data channel based on the DMRS, the received first TRS, and the received second TRS.
