Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In high-velocity scenarios, terminal devices experience significant changes in channel conditions due to Doppler effects, leading to inappropriate precoding results and degraded communication performance in MIMO systems.
Innovation Solution
The terminal device determines whether to apply Doppler/time domain compression or basis type for reporting a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) to the network device, and transmits an indication for the appropriate method.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional precoding methods are used without Doppler compensation, then device complexity is reduced, but communication performance deteriorates in high-velocity scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing multiple codebooks corresponding to different Doppler shift values before actual communication occurs. When high-velocity movement is detected, the system quickly retrieves the appropriate pre-prepared codebook rather than calculating it in real-time, thus improving communication performance while limiting the increase in processing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of codebook selection based on detected Doppler shift values. By monitoring velocity changes and dynamically selecting from a set of codebooks with different Doppler compensation parameters, the system adapts to high-velocity scenarios without requiring completely new processing algorithms, thereby balancing performance improvement with complexity management.
2Measurement precision
If codebook is updated frequently to track channel changes, then precoding accuracy is improved, but signaling overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by updating codebook information only when necessary - specifically when velocity changes exceed a threshold or when channel conditions warrant it. Rather than continuously updating codebooks to track all channel variations, the system performs selective updates based on measured Doppler shifts, thus maintaining precoding accuracy when needed while reducing unnecessary signaling overhead during stable conditions.

AI summary
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, and computer storage medium for communication. A method for communication comprises determining, at a terminal device, whether to apply Doppler/time domain compression or a Doppler/time domain basis type for reporting a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) to a network device. The method further comprises transmitting, to the network device, an indication of whether to apply the Doppler/time domain compression or the Doppler/time domain basis type. In this way, it is more flexible to switch between high/medium mobility and low mobility. Therefore, communication performance for high/medium mobility terminal devices can be improved, without increasing overhead for low mobility terminal devices.
