Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in maintaining accurate scheduling when terminal devices experience high-speed movement or drastic signal changes, leading to mismatches in coding and modulation methods, resulting in high bit error rates.

Innovation Solution

A method and network device that determine scheduling information type by evaluating signal situation and movement state of terminal devices within a sliding time window, switching between cross-slot and within-slot scheduling to align with current conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If cross-slot scheduling is used for terminal devices, then scheduling simplicity and processing efficiency are improved, but scheduling accuracy deteriorates when terminal devices experience high-speed movement or drastic signal changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling processing efficiencyVSAvoidscheduling accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically switches between cross-slot scheduling and within-slot scheduling based on terminal device status. The network device determines the scheduling information type by obtaining indicators reflecting signal situation and movement state, then selects the appropriate scheduling method accordingly, making the scheduling system adaptive rather than static

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the scheduling parameter (time slot allocation) based on terminal device conditions. When signal indicators show drastic changes or high-speed movement is detected, the system switches from cross-slot to within-slot scheduling, adjusting the scheduling parameter to match the current communication conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If within-slot scheduling is used to improve scheduling accuracy for high-speed moving terminals, then bit error rate is reduced, but scheduling complexity and processing overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebit error rateVSAvoidscheduling processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different scheduling qualities to different terminal devices based on their individual status. Not all terminals require within-slot scheduling - only those with drastic signal changes or high-speed movement do. Terminals with stable connections continue using cross-slot scheduling, achieving localized optimization without system-wide complexity increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The network device continuously obtains indicators reflecting signal situation and movement state as feedback, using this information to determine when to switch scheduling methods. This feedback mechanism ensures within-slot scheduling is applied only when necessary, avoiding unnecessary processing complexity for terminals that don't require it

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
