Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for determining transmission modes in MIMO communication systems, such as open-loop and closed-loop precoding modes, are inefficient due to reliance solely on terminal movement speed, neglecting the impact of channel spatial correlation, which affects data transmission performance.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If transmission mode is determined solely based on terminal movement speed, then the selection process is simple, but data transmission efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameters used for transmission mode selection from only movement speed to include both movement speed and channel spatial correlation. This is achieved by calculating channel correlation matrices and using their eigenvalues to determine transmission modes, thereby improving data transmission efficiency while maintaining a systematic selection process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds another dimension (channel spatial correlation) to the transmission mode selection criteria beyond the traditional single dimension of movement speed. By incorporating channel correlation analysis as an additional dimension, the system achieves more accurate mode selection and improved transmission efficiency.
2Measurement precision
If closed-loop mode is used for low speed terminals, then transmission accuracy is improved, but feedback delay reduces performance at higher speeds
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic transmission mode selection that adapts to changing channel conditions and terminal speeds. By continuously monitoring channel spatial correlation and movement speed, the system dynamically switches between open-loop and closed-loop modes, optimizing performance for each specific scenario rather than using fixed speed-based thresholds.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes channel correlation feedback to determine transmission modes. By calculating and analyzing channel correlation matrices, the system obtains feedback about channel conditions and uses this information to select appropriate transmission modes, thereby improving transmission accuracy while accounting for feedback delay constraints.
3Loss of time
If open-loop mode is used for high speed terminals, then feedback delay impact is reduced, but transmission accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the decision parameters for mode selection by incorporating channel spatial correlation metrics. Instead of relying solely on speed thresholds, the system uses eigenvalues of channel correlation matrices to determine whether open-loop or closed-loop mode is more appropriate, thereby maintaining transmission accuracy even at higher speeds when feedback delay is a concern.
