Innovation Solution

A base station transmits configuration parameters to a wireless device for beam failure recovery, including priority information, allowing the device to adjust transmission power within a total threshold during recovery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If beam failure recovery is performed with high transmission power to ensure timely recovery, then recovery speed and reliability are improved, but total transmission power threshold may be exceeded causing interference and system instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam failure recovery reliabilityVSAvoidtotal transmission power threshold
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of transmission power by introducing priority information that dynamically adjusts the power allocation for beam failure recovery requests. The wireless device modifies transmission power parameters based on the priority level assigned to different recovery requests, ensuring high reliability for urgent recoveries while maintaining overall power threshold compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple beam failure recovery requests are handled simultaneously with equal priority, then all recovery attempts are given equal opportunity, but power management becomes inefficient and recovery timeliness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecovery request handling flexibilityVSAvoidbeam failure recovery time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the handling of beam failure recovery requests by introducing priority levels that divide recovery requests into different categories. This segmentation allows the system to process high-priority requests separately from low-priority ones, ensuring that critical recoveries are handled first while maintaining the ability to handle multiple requests simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of request handling by assigning priority values to different beam failure recovery requests. This parameter change enables the wireless device to adjust transmission power and processing order based on priority, improving recovery timeliness for critical requests while maintaining system flexibility to handle various types of recovery scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If transmission power is increased for beam failure recovery to overcome channel degradation, then recovery success rate improves, but power consumption increases and may exceed device limits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam failure recovery success rateVSAvoidtransmission power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the power consumption parameter by introducing priority-based power allocation. Instead of using fixed high power for all recovery attempts, the system adjusts transmission power parameters according to the priority information associated with each recovery request, achieving high success rates for critical recoveries while minimizing unnecessary power consumption for lower-priority scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
