Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If legacy CDD methods are used in evolved antenna systems, then signal transmission is supported, but CDD gain is reduced due to limitations in DMRS port management and precoding matrix configuration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters of precoding matrix configuration by allowing flexible mapping between DMRS ports and precoder sets. Specifically, when the number of DMRS ports is less than M*L, the precoder sets include identical column vectors that can be positioned at different columns, and column vectors can be orthogonal to each other. This parameter adjustment optimizes the relationship between reference signals and data transmission, preventing CDD gain reduction while adapting to evolved antenna systems.
2Productivity
If the number of DMRS ports is less than M*L, then resource efficiency is improved, but precoding matrix configuration becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing precoder sets where identical column vectors can serve multiple DMRS ports. When the number of DMRS ports is less than M*L, the same column vector from the precoder sets can be reused across different DMRS ports, allowing a single precoding configuration to serve multiple reference signal ports. This multi-functional approach improves resource efficiency while managing configuration complexity through standardized vector reuse.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the precoding matrix into M number of precoder sets, each containing multiple column vectors. This segmentation allows flexible selection and combination of column vectors for different DMRS ports. When DMRS ports are fewer than M*L, the segmented structure enables selective reuse of identical column vectors across different precoder sets, optimizing resource usage while maintaining manageable configuration through modular organization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If identical column vectors are used in precoder sets, then DMRS port mapping flexibility is improved, but orthogonality between different DMRS ports may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing identical column vectors to be positioned at different columns within the precoder sets for different DMRS ports. This means that while the same vector pattern is used (providing flexibility), its position varies locally for each DMRS port configuration. Additionally, the patent ensures that column vectors within the same precoder set maintain orthogonality relationships, thus preserving signal separation quality locally while achieving global mapping flexibility through the structured reuse of identical vectors across different ports.
