1Productivity

If feedback information about each information stream is used to achieve MIMO channel capacity, then channel capacity is improved, but system complexity and error rate increase due to voluminous feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel capacityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the feedback information requirement from the MIMO system. By using joint encoding of multiple data streams without needing channel state information feedback, the system achieves channel capacity while eliminating the complex feedback mechanism that causes errors and increases system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple data streams into a joint encoding process. Instead of separately encoding and feedback each stream, multiple streams are combined and encoded together, achieving channel capacity through the merged signal while avoiding the complexity of individual stream feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
