1Productivity

If dynamic modulation and coding schemes are implemented to adapt to varying radio conditions, then data transmission efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic modulation and coding schemes that automatically adjust transmission parameters based on real-time radio conditions. The system transitions from static to dynamic operation by monitoring channel quality indicators and adapting modulation orders and coding rates accordingly, resolving the contradiction between maintaining efficiency and managing complexity through automated adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes physical transmission parameters (modulation order, coding rate) based on measured radio conditions. By systematically varying these parameters in response to channel state information, the system optimizes data transmission efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized parameter adjustment rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If real-time radio condition monitoring is implemented to optimize transmission, then network reliability is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors radio conditions and uses this information to adjust transmission parameters. The feedback loop measures channel quality, compares it against thresholds, and triggers appropriate modulation and coding adjustments, improving reliability while managing resource consumption through selective monitoring and adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-optimization by automatically monitoring its own transmission conditions and adjusting parameters without external intervention. This self-service capability improves network reliability through continuous adaptation while minimizing additional resource consumption by using existing measurement capabilities for decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If multi-carrier transmission is used to increase bandwidth capacity, then data transmission rate is improved, but interference management becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission rateVSAvoidinterference management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the transmission spectrum into multiple carriers, allowing independent optimization of each carrier based on its specific radio conditions. This segmentation enables parallel transmission at higher rates while simplifying interference management by treating each carrier as a separate channel with its own modulation and coding parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies different modulation and coding schemes to different carriers based on their local radio conditions. Each carrier is optimized independently with parameters matched to its specific channel quality, improving overall transmission rate while managing interference through localized parameter adjustment rather than system-wide changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A wireless device communicates, with a base station distributed unit (BS-DU) and via at least one bearer configured between the wireless device and a base station central unit (BS-CU) through the BS-DU, a first adaptation layer packet, wherein a first header of the first adaptation layer packet comprises a route identifier indicating a route. The wireless device receives, from the BS-DU, backhaul link information indicating a failure of a link between the BS-DU and the BS-CU, wherein a second header of a second adaptation layer packet comprises the backhaul link information indicating the failure of the link.
