Solution Overview

Problem

Current uplink pre-coding methods in cellular radio mobile communication systems lack an efficient solution to reduce power loss in power amplifiers, often resorting to using downlink codebooks which can increase power amplifier power loss.

Innovation Solution

A new codebook design and method that includes specific matrix elements and a process to determine a maximum codebook for uplink transmission, reducing power back-off and thereby minimizing power loss in uplink power amplifiers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the downlink codebook is used directly as the uplink codebook for pre-coding, then the uplink pre-coding function is provided, but the power loss of the power amplifier increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuplink pre-coding functionVSAvoidpower loss of power amplifier
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of the codebook by introducing a new uplink codebook structure with specific matrix forms (Equation 1) and constraints (|α|=1, |β|=1, |γ|=1). This new codebook design with modified parameters reduces the power back-off requirement of the power amplifier compared to using the downlink codebook directly, thereby reducing power loss while maintaining the uplink pre-coding function.

2Loss of energy

If a new uplink codebook is designed with specific matrix structures and constraints, then the power loss of the power amplifier is reduced, but the complexity of codebook design and selection increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the codebook design into specific matrix structures with defined elements (α, β, γ) and constraints. By dividing the codebook into structured matrices with specific properties, the design complexity is managed through modular construction while achieving the goal of reducing power amplifier power loss through optimized codebook structures.
