Solution Overview

Problem

In communication systems using orbital angular momentum (OAM), misalignment scenarios lead to significant energy loss and inter-modal interference, which affect spectrum efficiency and resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A precoding information feedback method that determines and transmits precoding information based on channel state information (CSI), including PMI, number of OAM modes, and indicator numbers, to optimize beamforming and reduce interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If OAM is used to improve spectrum efficiency, then spectrum efficiency is improved, but misalignment scenarios cause significant energy loss and inter-modal interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum efficiencyVSAvoidsignal energy loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a precoding information feedback mechanism where the receiver determines precoding information based on channel state information (CSI) and feeds it back to the transmitter. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to channel conditions and maintain alignment, thereby reducing energy loss while preserving spectrum efficiency gains from OAM usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by determining precoding information before transmission based on current channel state information. The receiver calculates the appropriate precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and other precoding parameters in advance, allowing the transmitter to pre-align the OAM modes with the channel conditions, thus preventing misalignment-induced energy loss before transmission occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If OAM is used to improve spectrum efficiency, then spectrum efficiency is improved, but misalignment scenarios cause inter-modal interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum efficiencyVSAvoidinter-modal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The feedback mechanism allows the receiver to assess channel conditions and determine appropriate precoding information that minimizes inter-modal interference. By continuously adapting the precoding parameters based on feedback, the system maintains proper mode separation and reduces harmful interference between different OAM modes while preserving spectrum efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary determination of precoding information including PMI and other parameters before transmission. This advance calculation ensures that the transmitted OAM modes are pre-configured to minimize inter-modal interference based on current channel conditions, thereby preventing interference rather than reacting to it after transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of energy

If precoding information is determined based on CSI, then signal energy loss is reduced and inter-modal interference is avoided, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal energy lossVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The receiver performs self-service by autonomously determining the precoding information based on channel state information. The receiver calculates PMI and other precoding parameters using its own received signals and channel estimates, eliminating the need for complex centralized processing and reducing overall system complexity while still achieving energy loss reduction and interference avoidance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
