Solution Overview

Problem

In communication systems, when uplink data transmission uses semi-persistent scheduling, different user equipments cannot perform data transmission on the same time and frequency resource, leading to reduced spectrum utilization efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method where the base station determines and sets a value for the user equipment to determine a cyclic shift value of its reference signal sequence, ensuring different UEs have distinct cyclic shift values for uplink reference signal sequences, allowing them to transmit on the same time and frequency resource, by using additional fields on the physical downlink control channel or carrier indicator fields.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If semi-persistent scheduling is used for uplink data transmission, then scheduling efficiency is improved, but multiple user equipments cannot transmit on the same time and frequency resource

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescheduling efficiencyVSAvoidresource sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of cyclic shift value for reference signal sequences to enable multiple UEs to share the same time and frequency resources. By dynamically adjusting the cyclic shift parameter based on UE identification information, the system allows multiple users to transmit simultaneously while maintaining signal distinguishability through different cyclic shift values.

2Reliability

If different cyclic shift values are assigned to different UEs, then orthogonality of reference signals is maintained, but additional signaling overhead is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal orthogonalityVSAvoidsignaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of directly signaling the cyclic shift value to each UE, the patent inverts the approach by using the UE's identification information (which the UE already possesses) to determine the cyclic shift value through a predefined mapping relationship. This eliminates the need for additional downlink signaling while maintaining the ability to assign distinct cyclic shift values to different UEs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Productivity

If multiple UEs transmit on the same resource with different cyclic shifts, then spectrum utilization improves, but channel estimation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespectrum utilization efficiencyVSAvoidchannel estimation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses parameter changes (cyclic shift values) to orthogonalize reference signals from multiple UEs, allowing them to share the same time-frequency resources. The base station leverages the known cyclic shift values to separately estimate channels for each UE by processing received signals with corresponding cyclic shift compensations, maintaining manageable complexity while achieving multi-user transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
