MIMO Mode Configuration via Terminal Triggering Factors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing MIMO technology struggles to quickly adjust to real-time changes in terminal factors, such as antenna position and shape, which affect MIMO mode performance, leading to increased adjustment time and suboptimal communication quality.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for configuring MIMO mode by determining a triggering factor based on terminal information, sending a request to the network device to configure the MIMO mode matched with the triggering factor, and receiving an instruction to indicate the configured MIMO mode, allowing for immediate adjustments in response to terminal changes.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal periodically measures and reports channel quality according to network device requirements, then the network device can configure MIMO mode based on terminal capabilities and channel measurement results, but the adjustment time for MIMO configuration increases when terminal factors change
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal pre-determines triggering factors that may cause MIMO mode adjustments (such as antenna position changes, shape changes, or component state changes) and proactively reports these factors to the network device before actual channel quality degradation occurs. This allows the network device to pre-prepare appropriate MIMO mode configurations, reducing the overall adjustment time when terminal factors change.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the terminal continuously monitors its own state changes (antenna position, shape, component states) and reports triggering factors to the network device. The network device uses this feedback to dynamically adjust MIMO mode configurations in real-time, ensuring configuration accuracy while minimizing adjustment delays through event-driven updates rather than fixed periodic measurements.
2Reliability
If the terminal reports all terminal information to the network device, then the network device can make accurate MIMO mode decisions, but the communication overhead and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of reporting all terminal information, the system extracts and reports only specific triggering factors that directly impact MIMO mode performance (such as antenna position changes, shape changes, or component state changes). This extraction approach provides the network device with sufficient information for accurate MIMO mode decisions while significantly reducing communication overhead and processing complexity compared to reporting complete terminal state information.

AI summary
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mode configuration method is applied to a terminal, and includes: determining a triggering factor, the triggering factor including terminal information that triggers MIMO mode adjustment; sending a first instruction, the first instruction being used for requesting a network device to configure an MIMO mode matched with the triggering factor for the terminal; and obtaining a second instruction, the second instruction being used for representing the MIMO mode configured by the network device for the terminal.
