Solution Overview

Problem

The Rel-15 protocol's limited support for indicating Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator (TPMI) per subband results in low reliability of uplink data transmission due to poor coding accuracy and low signal-to-noise ratio.

Innovation Solution

The method involves receiving uplink scheduling information with TPMI indication for each subband, determining a precoding matrix for each subband based on the TPMI, and precoding the uplink data accordingly, allowing for improved accuracy and reliability by using distinct TPMIs for each subband.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If wideband TPMI indication is used for uplink scheduling, then device complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision (coding accuracy) deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the frequency band into multiple subbands and provides separate TPMI indication for each subband. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simple wideband scheduling while achieving precise per-subband precoding, resolving the contradiction between scheduling complexity and coding accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different precoding matrix indicators to different subbands based on local channel conditions. Each subband can use the most appropriate precoding matrix for its specific characteristics, improving overall coding accuracy without requiring complete redesign of the scheduling system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If wideband TPMI indication is used for uplink scheduling, then signaling overhead is reduced, but reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the frequency spectrum into subbands and provides TPMI indication for each segment. This approach increases reliability by adapting to local channel variations while keeping signaling overhead manageable through efficient indication mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes signal-to-noise ratio by applying locally adapted precoding matrices to each subband based on its specific channel characteristics. This local optimization improves signal quality without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the precoding matrix parameters independently for each subband to match local channel conditions. This parameter adaptation maximizes signal-to-noise ratio while maintaining overall system simplicity through the existing TPMI indication framework.
