Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing semi-persistent transmissions in full-duplex systems, particularly in determining optimal transmission configurations to minimize self-interference and maximize throughput.
Innovation Solution
The method involves determining whether a semi-persistent transmission overlaps in the time domain with a dynamic transmission, and based on this determination, selecting either a full-duplex or half-duplex configuration for the semi-persistent transmission to mitigate self-interference and optimize communication.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If full-duplex transmission is used for semi-persistent transmissions, then spectral efficiency is improved, but self-interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the transmission configuration adaptive rather than fixed. The device dynamically switches between full-duplex and half-duplex modes based on real-time detection of overlapping transmissions. When overlap is detected, the system transitions from full-duplex (for maximum spectral efficiency) to half-duplex (for self-interference avoidance), and vice versa when no overlap occurs. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by allowing full-duplex operation only when beneficial.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the device continuously monitors transmission schedules and detects overlaps between semi-persistent and dynamic transmissions. Based on this feedback information, the device adjusts its transmission configuration. The feedback loop enables the system to learn from current transmission conditions and modify its behavior accordingly, switching between full-duplex and half-duplex modes to optimize the balance between spectral efficiency and self-interference.
2Device complexity
If transmission configuration is fixed, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to overlapping transmissions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the transmission configuration from a fixed static parameter to a dynamic adaptive one. Instead of using a single predetermined configuration, the system maintains multiple configuration options (full-duplex and half-duplex) and selects the appropriate one based on real-time transmission conditions. This dynamic approach increases adaptability to overlapping transmissions while managing complexity through automated decision-making based on detected transmission schedules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the transmission mode parameter based on detected conditions. The system changes the operational parameter (full-duplex vs. half-duplex) according to the presence or absence of overlapping transmissions. This parameter adaptation allows the device to handle various transmission scenarios flexibly, improving versatility without requiring overly complex manual configuration management.
3Productivity
If semi-persistent transmission overlaps with dynamic transmission, then time utilization is improved, but self-interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this contradiction through dynamic mode switching. When overlap is detected between semi-persistent and dynamic transmissions, the system dynamically adjusts its operation from full-duplex to half-duplex mode. This allows the system to maintain time utilization efficiency while avoiding self-interference during overlapping periods. The dynamic adaptation enables the device to maximize resource usage when safe and prevent interference when necessary.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potentially harmful overlap condition into a beneficial adaptive opportunity. Instead of treating overlap as a problem that must be avoided at all costs, the system detects the overlap condition and uses it to trigger a mode switch to half-duplex operation. This transforms the harmful self-interference potential into a controlled scenario where the system deliberately selects the appropriate transmission mode, turning what could be a harmful situation into a managed and optimized operation.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for adapting a configuration for transmitting or receiving a semi-persistent transmission to minimize self-interference when appropriate and maximize throughput. A first device and a second device may determine whether the semi-persistent transmission overlaps in a time domain with a dynamic transmission. If the semi-persistent transmission overlaps in the time domain with the dynamic transmission, the first device and the second device may use a full-duplex configuration to transmit or receive the semi-persistent transmission. Alternatively, if the semi-persistent transmission fails to overlap in a time domain with a dynamic transmission, the first device and the second device may use a half-duplex configuration to transmit or receive the semi-persistent transmission.
