Solution Overview
Problem

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional CQI feedback is used in MIMO systems with multiple users or high transmission ranks, then the system structure remains simple, but the CQI accuracy deteriorates due to interference between user terminals
Solution Approach 1:
The base station performs preliminary actions by determining transmission ranks and selecting beamforming vectors before CQI feedback is generated. The system pre-calculates interference conditions and uses this information to guide the CQI correction process, allowing accurate CQI feedback without requiring complex user terminal processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces an intermediary correction mechanism where the base station receives conventional CQI feedback and applies correction based on pre-determined transmission ranks and beamforming vectors. This intermediary step transforms inaccurate conventional CQI into accurate corrected CQI without requiring fundamental changes to user terminal structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single beamforming scheme is used, then the system complexity is low, but the adaptability to different radio environments deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically selects between different beamforming schemes (ZF beamforming, PU2RC beamforming, or other schemes) based on radio environment conditions. The base station determines the appropriate beamforming vector and scheme adaptively, allowing the system to optimize performance for different scenarios without requiring user terminals to implement multiple complex schemes.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the beamforming parameters (beamforming vectors, transmission ranks, and scheme selection) based on radio environment conditions. By adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system achieves high adaptability to different radio environments while maintaining relatively simple user terminal structures.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If CQI is generated without correction for high transmission ranks, then the processing is simple, but the interference between channels increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the base station receives CQI from user terminals and feeds back corrected CQI information along with beamforming vectors and transmission rank decisions. This feedback loop allows the system to reduce channel interference through corrected CQI without requiring complex processing at the user terminal side.
