Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If raw CSI feedback is used in MIMO systems, then channel state information accuracy is improved, but communication resource consumption increases and system performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential channel state information features using encoder-decoder models and neural network-based compression techniques, rather than transmitting complete raw CSI data. This selective extraction maintains measurement precision while significantly reducing feedback overhead and communication resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms CSI feedback from raw high-dimensional data to compressed low-dimensional representations by changing the parameter representation through online training of encoder-decoder models. This parameter transformation preserves critical channel state information while reducing the volume of feedback data, thereby lowering energy consumption.

AI summary
This disclosure provides methods for channel state information (CSI) feedback. In one method, at a user equipment (UE), CSI data of a communication channel between the UE and a base station (BS) is collected. The UE is configured with an encoder model to compress CSI and the BS is configured with a decoder model to decompress CSI. Based on the collected CSI data, online training is performed at the UE on a previously trained encoder-decoder model pair including the encoder model and the decoder model to generate updated models for the encoder model and the decoder model, respectively. In another method, the CSI data is collected at the BS and the online training is performed at the BS based on the collected CSI data. In another method, the CSI data is collected at a server and the online training is performed at the server based on the collected CSI data
