Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems lack a solution for power control of additional SRS, leading to potential low signal quality and interference issues, which affect communication effectiveness and reliability.

Innovation Solution

A method for determining the transmitting power of an additional SRS using a power control parameter received by a terminal device, which includes parameters such as target receiving power, pathloss calculation compensation factor, and closed loop power control adjustments, configured through RRC signaling and indicated by DCI, allowing independent power control of additional and legacy SRS.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If additional SRS is introduced to increase coverage and capacity, then the coverage and capacity are improved, but power control capability is lost leading to low signal quality and interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage and capacityVSAvoidsignal quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by introducing separate power control parameters (alphaSet, betaSet, deltaSet) specifically for additional SRS, allowing independent power adjustment of the additional SRS from legacy SRS. This enables optimization of the additional SRS power to achieve desired coverage and capacity while maintaining signal quality through proper power control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If additional SRS and legacy SRS are transmitted in one TTI, then transmission efficiency is improved, but power control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidpower control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by separating the power control parameters into distinct sets: first power control parameters for additional SRS and second power control parameters for legacy SRS. This segmentation allows independent power control of each SRS type while transmitting them in the same TTI, managing complexity through structured parameter organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by providing differentiated power control mechanisms tailored to specific SRS types. The additional SRS receives dedicated power control parameters (alphaSet, betaSet, deltaSet) while legacy SRS uses its own parameters, allowing each to be optimized for its specific transmission characteristics within the unified TTI framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If no power control solution is provided for additional SRS, then system simplicity is maintained, but communication effectiveness deteriorates due to interference and low signal quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidcommunication effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies feedback through closed-loop power control mechanisms where the network device monitors the actual received power of additional SRS and adjusts the transmitted power accordingly. The power control parameters include feedback components (betaSet for target received power, deltaSet for power adjustment) that enable continuous optimization of communication effectiveness while maintaining manageable system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
