Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face complexity in determining radial codeword sequences for orbital angular momentum (OAM) communications due to the large number of candidate configurations, which complicates feedback mechanisms and increases processing complexity.

Innovation Solution

Limiting radial codeword sequences to polynomial-based configurations, such as Laguerre and Slepian polynomials, to simplify feedback mechanisms and enable transmitter and receiver devices to determine optimal codeword sequences.

1Adaptability or versatility

If all candidate radial codeword sequences are considered for OAM communications, then the system achieves higher adaptability and performance optimization, but the feedback mechanism complexity and processing load increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary polynomial-based radial codeword sequences from the complete set of candidate sequences. By identifying and using only polynomial-based configurations (such as Laguerre and Slepian polynomials), the system reduces the search space while maintaining the essential adaptability needed for optimal OAM communication performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter space by constraining radial codeword sequences to polynomial-based configurations. This parameter restriction transforms the problem from selecting from all possible sequences to selecting from a structured subset defined by polynomial properties, thereby simplifying feedback while preserving adaptability through polynomial order and coefficient variations.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes polynomial-based radial codeword sequences universal by demonstrating that polynomials of different orders and types (Laguerre, Slepian) can serve multiple communication scenarios. This multi-functionality allows a single polynomial framework to adapt to various channel conditions and performance requirements without needing entirely different sequence types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamics through adjustable polynomial parameters (order, coefficients, scaling factors) that can be adapted in real-time based on channel conditions. This dynamic parameter adjustment within the polynomial framework provides flexibility comparable to considering all possible sequences, while maintaining the computational simplicity of polynomial-based designs.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may be configured to transmit, to a second wireless device, one or more orbital angular momentum (OAM) signals in accordance with a set of radial codeword sequences associated with a polynomial radial codeword configuration, where the one or more OAM signals are transmitted based on a first value of a polynomial term for the polynomial radial codeword configuration. The first wireless device may receive, from the second wireless device on the one or more OAM signals, a feedback message indicating a second value of the polynomial term. The first wireless device may then transmit, to the second wireless device, one or more additional OAM signals in accordance with the set of radial codeword sequences and based on the second value for the polynomial term.
