Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, especially in the context of multi-antenna technologies, the efficiency of closed-loop precoding, Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC), and channel-sensitive scheduling schemes is compromised due to delayed channel state information, leading to suboptimal performance, particularly for users at the edge of cell coverage areas.

Innovation Solution

A method for transmitting and receiving physical uplink data channel mapping information between different transmission/reception points, allowing for cooperative communication by mapping physical uplink data channels to wireless resources based on specific channel information, thereby improving channel estimation and resource allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If channel state information is reported from receiver to transmitter, then transmission efficiency is improved through closed-loop precoding, AMC, and channel-sensitive scheduling, but transmission delay occurs causing deterioration of these schemes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidchannel state information delay
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the receiver pre-calculate and store channel mapping information for multiple transmission points before actual data transmission. When cooperative communication is needed, the transmitter can immediately retrieve pre-computed channel mapping information without waiting for real-time channel state reporting, thus eliminating delay while maintaining transmission efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The receiver performs preliminary channel estimation and calculates channel mapping information in advance for multiple transmission points. This pre-computation allows the system to switch between transmission points without real-time channel state feedback delay, resolving the contradiction between maintaining transmission efficiency and avoiding time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If users at cell boundary receive service from serving base station, then coverage is maintained, but transmission rate deteriorates due to interference from other base stations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage maintenanceVSAvoidtransmission rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces another transmission point as an intermediary for cooperative communication. Instead of the boundary user directly communicating with the serving base station under interference, the system uses a second transmission point with better channel conditions as a mediator, allowing the user to maintain coverage while achieving higher transmission rates through the intermediary path

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the transmission point parameter dynamically. For boundary users, instead of fixed serving base station, the system selects between multiple transmission points based on channel conditions. By changing which transmission point serves the user, the system maintains coverage reliability while improving transmission rate through cooperative communication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
