Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current SVD-MIMO transmission systems face challenges in real-time operation and require significant feedback of antenna weighting coefficient matrices, making them impractical for efficient broadband wireless communication, especially in home environments where channel information matrix decomposition and synchronization are complex.
Innovation Solution
A wireless communication system that reduces the amount of information fed back from the receiver to the transmitter by using reference signals to perform singular value decomposition on the transmitter side, and employs calibration coefficients to compensate for differences in transfer functions between uplink and downlink directions, allowing for efficient space division multiplexing and decoding.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If SVD-MIMO transmission is used to enhance transmission capacity, then space division multiplexing is achieved, but the amount of feedback information from receiver to transmitter becomes excessively large
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts only the essential channel information (channel correlation matrix or its eigenvectors) rather than transmitting the complete antenna weighting coefficient matrix. This selective extraction reduces feedback overhead while preserving the necessary information for SVD-MIMO operation at the transmitter.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses partial feedback by transmitting only the channel correlation matrix or its eigenvectors instead of the full weighting coefficient matrix. This partial action is sufficient for the transmitter to perform SVD decomposition and achieve space division multiplexing without requiring excessive feedback data.
2Adaptability or versatility
If channel information matrix decomposition is performed in real-time, then adaptive MIMO transmission is achieved, but system complexity and computational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention performs preliminary computation by having the receiver pre-calculate and transmit the channel correlation matrix or its eigenvectors before actual data transmission. This preliminary action shifts the computational burden to a preparatory phase where the transmitter can then perform SVD decomposition with the provided information, reducing real-time computational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces the channel correlation matrix as an intermediary that simplifies the feedback process. Instead of transmitting complex weighting coefficient matrices, the correlation matrix serves as a mediator that contains essential channel characteristics, enabling the transmitter to derive the necessary weighting information through SVD decomposition of this simplified matrix.
3Reliability
If complete antenna weighting coefficient matrices are fed back, then accurate space division multiplexing is achieved, but feedback delay and synchronization complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts only the essential channel characteristics (correlation matrix or eigenvectors) from the complete weighting coefficient matrix. This extraction maintains the reliability of space division multiplexing by preserving the necessary channel information while significantly reducing the data volume that requires feedback, thereby minimizing feedback delay.

AI summary
In an SVD-MIMO transmission using a singular value decomposition, the amount of information fed back to a transmitter from a receiver is reduced. Instead of feeding back to the transmitter, a transmission weighting vector V obtained by performing a singular value decomposition of a channel information matrix obtained by the receiver, the receiver sends reference symbols to the transmitter, which obtains the channel information matrix and performs the singular value decomposition to yield the vector V necessary when transmitting data. In the procedure of obtaining the vector V, a noncoincidence between channel matrices in the opposite directions is compensated for, by performing a calibration for compensating an error between transmitting and receiving analog devices on the part of both the transmitter and the receiver.
