Solution Overview
Problem

Innovation Solution
Augmenting Type II codebooks with Doppler domain compression to create a three-dimensional matrix combining spatial, frequency, and Doppler domain basis vectors for channel state information (CSI) reporting, enabling prediction of future precoders based on multiple CSI-RS instances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If CSI reporting is performed frequently to capture channel variations for moving UEs, then CSI accuracy improves, but signaling overhead increases excessively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the traditional two-dimensional codebook (spatial and frequency domains) to a three-dimensional codebook by adding the Doppler domain. This dimensional extension allows the system to capture time-varying channel characteristics of moving UEs through Doppler frequency shifts, thereby improving CSI accuracy for high-velocity scenarios without requiring excessively frequent reporting
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary channel estimation using multiple CSI-RS instances before generating the final CSI report. By pre-processing channel measurements across multiple time instances and extracting dominant Doppler components, the system prepares compressed channel state information in advance, reducing the amount of data that needs to be reported while maintaining accuracy
2Loss of information
If traditional Type II codebook is used for stationary UEs, then reporting overhead is manageable, but CSI robustness to channel variations deteriorates for moving UEs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent augmenting the traditional two-dimensional Type II codebook (spatial and frequency domains) to a three-dimensional codebook by incorporating the Doppler domain. This extension adds a temporal dimension to the codebook structure, enabling it to capture and represent time-varying channel characteristics of moving UEs through Doppler frequency shifts, thereby improving CSI robustness without proportionally increasing reporting overhead
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces Doppler domain parameters (Doppler basis vectors and coefficients) as new parameters in the CSI reporting framework. By adding these parameters that specifically characterize time-varying channel behavior, the system enhances CSI robustness to channel variations while maintaining a structured reporting format that controls overhead through parameter compression and selection

AI summary
According to some embodiments. a method is performed by a wireless device for channel state information (CSI) reporting. The method comprises: measuring multiple instances of a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) over a span of time instances: estimating linear combination coefficients to combine a spatial domain (SD) basis. a frequency domain (FD) basis. and a Doppler domain (DD) basis from the measurements of the multiple CSI-RS instances: and predicting a precoder using the linear combination coefficients, the SD basis. the FD basis, and the DD basis.
