Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If precoding matrix is transmitted using conventional PMI feedback methods, then communication performance is improved, but no effective transmission mechanism exists for channel state comprising precoding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication performanceVSAvoidtransmission mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The precoding matrix is segmented into coefficient matrices with reported coefficients, allowing selective transmission of only necessary precision levels. The channel state report is divided into manageable components (number of reported coefficients, reported coefficients themselves) that can be efficiently transmitted and processed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the parameter representation from traditional PMI indices to actual coefficient values in coefficient matrices. This allows the system to transmit precise channel state information directly as numerical parameters rather than relying on predefined codebook entries, enabling flexible precision control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If complete precoding matrix is transmitted, then channel state accuracy is improved, but transmission overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechannel state accuracyVSAvoidtransmission overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of transmitting the complete precoding matrix, the system transmits only the necessary reported coefficients along with the number of reported coefficients. This partial transmission approach provides sufficient channel state information for communication performance improvement while significantly reducing transmission overhead compared to complete matrix transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The transmission mechanism dynamically adapts the amount of information transmitted based on the number of reported coefficients. The system can adjust the precision and quantity of coefficient data transmitted according to actual communication needs, allowing flexible optimization between accuracy and overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
