Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional CSI reporting methods are used in MIMO wireless communication systems, then comprehensive channel state information can be obtained, but feedback overhead increases and dimensionality complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential CSI parameters needed for effective communication by using linear combination codebooks. Instead of reporting complete channel matrices, the system extracts dominant spatial directions and represents channel states through linear combinations of codebook vectors, significantly reducing feedback overhead while preserving measurement precision for the most critical channel characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation from full-dimensional channel matrices to reduced-dimensional codebook indices and linear combination coefficients. By transforming the CSI representation parameters and using multi-resolution codebooks with varying granularities, the system achieves accurate channel state representation with reduced feedback quantity.
2Measurement precision
If traditional CSI reporting methods are used in MIMO wireless communication systems, then complete channel information is provided, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex channel matrix into multiple manageable components: dominant spatial directions, codebook vectors, and linear combination coefficients. This segmentation approach breaks down high-dimensional channel information into structured, lower-dimensional representations that are easier to process and feedback while maintaining measurement precision through the systematic combination of segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the problem from high-dimensional spatial domain representation to a multi-resolution codebook domain representation. By introducing codebook indices and linear combination coefficients as new dimensional parameters, the system reduces dimensionality complexity while preserving CSI accuracy through the mathematical equivalence of linear combinations to original channel states.

A method of user equipment (UE) for channel state information (CSI) feedback in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving, from a base station (BS), CSI feedback configuration information for a pre-coding matrix indicator (PMI) feedback indicating a linear combination (LC) pre-coding matrix that corresponds to a linear combination of a plurality of L beams and a plurality of coefficients, determining the first PMI (i 1 )and the second PMI (i 2), and transmitting, to the BS, the CSI feedback including the first PMI (i 1 ) and the second PMI (i 2) over an uplink channel.
