Terminal CSI Reporting for Multi-TRP Coherent Joint Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio communication systems lack clear definitions for channel state information (CSI) and codebook configurations in coherent joint transmission (CJT) using multiple transmission/reception points (TRPs) or panels, leading to potential deterioration in communication throughput and quality.
Innovation Solution
A terminal is equipped with a receiving section to receive configurations of candidate values for spatial domain basis vectors and a control section to determine appropriate CSI/codebook combinations for CJT, enabling precise CSI reporting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If clear definitions for CSI and codebook in CJT are not provided, then system complexity is reduced, but communication throughput and quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by systematically defining multiple parameters for CSI reporting in CJT scenarios, including codebook configuration parameters, spatial domain basis vector parameters, and reporting parameter combinations. These parameter definitions enable precise control of CSI reporting behavior while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured parameter management.
2Reliability
If detailed CSI/codebook configuration is implemented, then communication quality improves, but configuration complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the CSI reporting configuration into distinct components: codebook configuration parameters, spatial domain basis vector parameters, and reporting parameter combinations. Each segment is independently defined and can be configured separately, allowing detailed control of communication quality while managing configuration complexity through modular organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic parameter combinations that allow the terminal to adaptively select and report different parameter sets based on channel conditions and CJT configuration. This dynamic approach enables high communication quality through precise CSI reporting while reducing configuration complexity by allowing flexible parameter selection rather than requiring all parameters to be fixed.
3Productivity
If CSI reporting for multi-TRP/CJT is not clearly defined, then ease of operation is maintained, but communication performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the terminal to autonomously determine and report appropriate CSI parameter combinations based on received CJT configurations and channel conditions. The terminal self-configures the CSI reporting by selecting from defined parameter sets, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration while ensuring optimal communication performance through adaptive parameter selection.
