Solution Overview

Problem

Existing radio communication systems, such as NR, face challenges in accurately reporting channel state information (CSI) for user terminals moving at middle speeds, leading to potential deterioration in communication throughput and quality due to insufficient measurement and reporting methods for movement-related influences.

Innovation Solution

A terminal equipped with a control section that determines multiple parts of CSI reports, each corresponding to different time occasions, and a transmitting section that transmits these parts to enhance measurement and reporting, particularly for middle-speed movements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If measurement and reporting methods are not optimized for moving terminals, then communication throughput and quality deteriorate, but implementing optimized methods increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication qualityVSAvoidmeasurement and reporting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The CSI report is divided into multiple parts, each corresponding to different time occasions. The control section determines multiple parts of CSI reports including multiple pieces of CSI respectively corresponding to multiple time occasions, and the transmitting section transmits these parts separately. This segmentation allows the system to handle movement-related channel changes more effectively without overwhelming the reporting mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic CSI reporting by capturing channel state information at multiple different time occasions. The control section adapts the reporting to reflect temporal variations in channel conditions, allowing the system to respond dynamically to terminal movement and maintain reliable communication quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If CSI reporting captures temporal variations for moving terminals, then measurement precision improves, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI measurement accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the CSI report into multiple parts corresponding to different time occasions, the patent captures temporal variations in channel state without requiring a single overwhelming report. Each part contains CSI for a specific time occasion, making the information more manageable and precise for moving terminals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The control section determines multiple parts of CSI reports in advance, preparing the information structure before transmission. This preliminary organization of CSI data for multiple time occasions reduces processing complexity during actual transmission and reception.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
