Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in achieving high reliability and reducing latency and power consumption without requiring channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter, particularly in doubly dispersive channels that cause cross-interference among data symbols.

Innovation Solution

A wireless communication system that employs partial loading of data symbols onto two-dimensional resource grids using waveforms like OTFS, OTSM, and OFDM, with controlled sparsely loaded data symbols and zero symbols in empty grid points, reducing cross-interference and latency, and utilizing cooperative receivers for demodulation without CSI.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If full loading of data symbols is used in two-dimensional resource grids, then spectral efficiency is improved, but cross interference between data symbols increases due to doubly dispersive channels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectral efficiencyVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial loading by transmitting fewer data symbols than the total available grid points in the two-dimensional resource grid. By deliberately leaving some grid points empty (partial action), the system reduces cross-interference between data symbols caused by doubly dispersive channels while maintaining acceptable spectral efficiency through optimized symbol placement and spacing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If precoding based on channel state information is used, then reliability is improved, but feedback overhead and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the requirement for channel state information feedback from the system. By designing a transmission scheme that does not depend on CSI at the transmitter, the patent eliminates the feedback overhead and associated complexity while maintaining improved reliability through partial loading and optimized waveform design.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If precoding with historical channel prediction is used, then reliability is improved, but latency increases due to training and channel tracking

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the need for historical channel prediction, training sequences, and channel tracking operations. By designing a system that achieves improved reliability without relying on channel state information or predictive algorithms, the patent eliminates the associated latency overhead while maintaining error performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Reliability

If data symbols are spaced apart with zeros in gaps, then cross interference is reduced, but spectral efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial loading by deliberately leaving some grid points empty with zero symbols, creating spacing between data symbols. This partial action reduces cross-interference and provides SNR gain while the patent optimizes the loading factor to balance spectral efficiency, ensuring that the reduction in symbol density does not excessively impact overall system productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
