Solution Overview
Problem
In communication systems like LTE, the existing method of reporting reception quality information is one-way and inefficient, leading to disturbances in transmission efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The system allows for efficient reporting of reception quality information by using multiple downlink reference signals and subframe sets to calculate and feedback channel state information, enabling flexible periodic and aperiodic feedback configurations.

1Productivity
If the same frequencies are used between adjacent cells or sectors, then frequency utilization efficiency is improved, but interference occurs to terminal apparatus in cell edge region
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the downlink reference signals into multiple types (first downlink reference signal and second downlink reference signal) and segments subframes into different sets (first subframe set and second subframe set). This segmentation allows different reference signals to be transmitted in different subframe sets, enabling the terminal to measure and report channel state information for each segment separately, thus managing interference while maintaining frequency reuse
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces dynamic adaptability by allowing flexible configuration of subframe sets and reference signal parameters. The base station can dynamically adjust which reference signals are transmitted in which subframe sets based on interference conditions and traffic requirements, enabling the system to adaptively balance frequency utilization efficiency and interference management
2Device complexity
If one-way reporting method is used for reception quality information, then system complexity is reduced, but transmission efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention implements a feedback mechanism where the terminal apparatus measures downlink reference signals, computes channel state information (including CQI, PMI, and RI), and reports this information back to the base station. The base station uses this feedback to adaptively adjust downlink transmission parameters such as modulation and coding scheme, spatial multiplexing rank, and precoding, thereby improving transmission efficiency through closed-loop control
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces periodic reporting where the terminal apparatus reports channel state information at regular intervals configured by the base station. This periodic feedback mechanism ensures that the base station receives up-to-date channel information without requiring continuous reporting, thus balancing transmission efficiency improvement with system complexity management
