Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of Channel State Information (CSI) affects the performance of encoding and decoding models, leading to decreased recovery accuracy or resource waste due to inconsistent intersubband correlations and varying information amounts in CSI feedback.

Innovation Solution

A method where a first device dynamically adjusts the number of feedback bits for CSI based on its complexity, indicating this to a second device to allow for an appropriate decoding model selection, thereby optimizing resource use and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the same number of feedback bits is used for all CSIs, then the implementation is simple, but the recovery accuracy decreases for CSIs with lower intersubband correlations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecovery accuracyVSAvoidfeedback bit allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic feedback bit allocation where the number of feedback bits is adjusted according to the complexity characteristics of each CSI. The system determines CSI complexity metrics and dynamically selects the appropriate number of feedback bits, transforming the static feedback mechanism into a dynamic one that adapts to varying CSI conditions, thereby improving recovery accuracy without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of feedback bit quantity based on CSI complexity characteristics. By introducing complexity metrics as a new parameter and using it to determine the feedback bit allocation, the system optimizes the balance between recovery accuracy and resource efficiency, allowing different feedback bit quantities for different CSI types

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If more feedback bits are allocated to CSIs with lower intersubband correlations, then the recovery accuracy improves, but the resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecovery accuracyVSAvoidfeedback bits
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses complexity metrics as a parameter to determine the appropriate number of feedback bits for each CSI. By calculating complexity metrics and using them to select feedback bit quantities, the system ensures that more bits are allocated only when necessary (for complex CSIs with lower intersubband correlations), avoiding unnecessary resource consumption while maintaining recovery accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by allocating feedback bits selectively based on CSI complexity. Instead of uniformly allocating maximum bits to all CSIs, the system provides the necessary amount of feedback bits only for CSIs that require them, avoiding excessive resource allocation for simple CSIs with high intersubband correlations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
