Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communications systems face configuration conflicts in beam failure detection reference signal set updates due to inconsistent configurations of single or multiple beam failure detection reference signal sets across component carriers, leading to reduced communication speed and reliability.
Innovation Solution
The proposed solution involves configuring component carrier lists to include only carriers of the same type (single or multiple beam failure detection reference signal sets) and applying the indicated beam failure detection reference signal sets accordingly, thereby avoiding configuration conflicts and enhancing communication efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If beam failure detection reference signal sets are configured for multiple component carriers with different types (single or multiple sets), then the system can support flexible beam failure detection configurations, but configuration conflicts arise leading to reduced communication reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments component carriers into different types (first type for single beam failure detection reference signal set, second type for multiple sets) and applies corresponding reference signal sets accordingly. This segmentation prevents configuration conflicts by ensuring that only appropriate reference signal sets are applied to carriers of the correct type, thereby maintaining communication reliability while preserving configuration flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different beam failure detection reference signal set configurations to different component carriers based on their specific types. Each carrier type receives the appropriate reference signal set configuration (single or multiple sets), ensuring local optimization and preventing conflicts. This local quality approach maintains overall system reliability while allowing flexible configuration where needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If inconsistent beam failure detection reference signal set configurations are applied across component carriers, then configuration flexibility is maintained, but communication speed and reliability are reduced due to conflicts
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting carriers into distinct types and applying corresponding reference signal sets, the system eliminates configuration conflicts that would otherwise slow down beam failure detection processes. This segmentation enables faster, more reliable operation while preserving the ability to configure different carriers appropriately.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the configuration parameter of beam failure detection reference signal sets based on carrier type. This parameter change ensures that single-type carriers receive single-set configurations while multi-type carriers receive multiple-set configurations, eliminating conflicts and improving communication speed without sacrificing flexibility.
3Device complexity
If a unified beam failure detection reference signal set is applied to all component carriers, then configuration simplicity is maintained, but carriers of the wrong type cannot be properly configured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments carriers into different types and applies appropriate reference signal sets to each segment. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simplicity for carriers of a given type while achieving versatility across different carrier types, preventing the need for overly complex unified configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by configuring beam failure detection reference signal sets according to the specific requirements of each carrier type. This ensures that single-type carriers receive simple single-set configurations while multi-type carriers receive appropriate multiple-set configurations, maintaining overall simplicity where possible while achieving necessary adaptability.

AI summary
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of one or more beam failure detection reference signal sets corresponding to a list of component carriers. Whether a component carrier is included in the list or whether a beam failure detection reference signal set of the one or more beam failure detection reference signal sets is applicable to the component carrier, or both, may be based on whether the component carrier is of a first type configured for a single beam failure detection reference signal set or is of a second type configured for multiple beam failure detection reference signal sets. The UE may monitor one or more component carriers included in the list for beam failure using the one or more indicated beam failure detection reference signal sets.
