1Productivity
If OAM measurement reference signals are used for channel estimation in wireless communication systems, then spectrum efficiency is enhanced through orthogonal properties of OAM beams, but there is a lack of effective means to determine configuration information of these reference signals
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal device autonomously determines the configuration information of OAM measurement reference signals by obtaining capability information about the number of OAM modes supported by the network device, and selecting appropriate configuration from preset configuration information. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for complex network-side configuration signaling while maintaining optimal spectrum efficiency.
2Reliability
If configuration information is transmitted to indicate antenna ports and OAM mode values, then channel estimation reliability is improved, but the complexity of capability information processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
Preset configuration information is prepared in advance, associating different capability information (number of OAM modes) with corresponding optimal configuration parameters for antenna ports and OAM mode values. When the terminal device obtains capability information, it directly selects the predetermined configuration that ensures reliable channel estimation without requiring complex real-time processing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the number of OAM modes supported by the second communication device is used to determine OAM mode values, then adaptability is improved, but the precision of OAM mode value determination may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of OAM mode values based on the capability information (number of OAM modes supported). Preset configuration information contains multiple groups of configuration parameters corresponding to different capability levels. The terminal device selects the appropriate group by matching the capability information, thereby adapting the OAM mode values to the device's capabilities while maintaining optimal precision for each capability level.
