Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically switches between dRU-based sounding feedback and rRU-based sounding feedback modes based on channel conditions and transmission requirements. The system can adaptively select the appropriate RU type and feedback mechanism to balance transmit power efficiency and data transmission rate, resolving the contradiction between power increase and rate maintenance.

2Measurement precision

If dRU-based sounding feedback is used, then channel state information accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sounding feedback mechanism into distinct modes (dRU-based and rRU-based), each optimized for specific scenarios. By dividing the feedback system into manageable segments with clear selection criteria, the patent reduces overall system complexity while maintaining measurement precision through appropriate mode selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts between different sounding feedback modes based on channel conditions, device capabilities, and transmission requirements. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain high channel state information accuracy when needed while avoiding unnecessary complexity in scenarios where simpler mechanisms suffice.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes key parameters including RU type (dRU vs rRU), feedback mechanism, and subcarrier allocation based on channel conditions and transmission requirements. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system can optimize spectral efficiency through dRU while maintaining transmission reliability through appropriate feedback and adaptation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between dRU and rRU modes based on real-time channel conditions and transmission requirements. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to exploit the spectral efficiency benefits of inconsecutive subcarriers when conditions permit while falling back to more reliable consecutive subcarrier modes when transmission reliability is paramount.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
