Solution Overview

Problem

In communication systems with multiple receiving antennas, random phase fluctuations affect channel state information (CSI), leading to increased feedback overheads due to the need for CSI feedback from each antenna to select an optimal result, which is inefficient.

Innovation Solution

Perform division or conjugate multiplication operations on CSI from two receiving antennas to eliminate random phase fluctuations, reducing the need for full CSI feedback and minimizing reporting overheads.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If CSI from each receiving antenna is fed back to the base station for optimal result selection, then the sensing accuracy is improved, but the feedback overhead is greatly increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensing accuracyVSAvoidfeedback overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs division or conjugate multiplication operations on CSI from multiple receiving antennas before feedback to eliminate random phase fluctuations in advance. This preliminary processing reduces the dimensionality of the feedback data while preserving the essential sensing information, thereby reducing feedback overhead without sacrificing sensing accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the necessary sensing information by performing operations that eliminate random phase fluctuations. Instead of feeding back all raw CSI data from each antenna, the terminal extracts the essential components needed for accurate sensing while discarding redundant phase information, thus reducing feedback overhead.
