Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently reporting beam information, particularly in terms of timing, which affects the reliability and latency of data transmission, especially with the increasing demand for high-speed and low-latency data services.

Innovation Solution

A method for reporting beam information in a wireless communication system where user equipment receives downlink control information to trigger a beam report, using specific resources for reporting received power and noise interference information, with distinct minimum required times for different types of beam reports, allowing for reliable and timely data transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If beam report timing is reduced to achieve low latency, then communication speed is improved, but reporting reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication speedVSAvoidreporting reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic timing adjustment by defining two distinct minimum required time values (first minimum required time and second minimum required time) based on the type of beam report being performed. This allows the system to adaptively select appropriate timing parameters - using shorter timing for certain report types to reduce latency, and longer timing for other report types to ensure reliability, thereby resolving the contradiction between speed and reliability through conditional dynamic behavior rather than fixed timing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the timing parameter (minimum required time for beam report) based on the beam report type. By establishing different time requirements (first minimum required time versus second minimum required time) for different reporting scenarios, the system optimizes the balance between communication speed and reporting reliability for each specific case, avoiding the need to choose a single fixed timing value that would compromise either speed or reliability across all scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If different minimum required times are defined for different beam report types, then reporting accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereporting accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the beam reporting process into different types, each with its own minimum required time parameter. By dividing the reporting mechanism into distinct categories (first beam report type and second beam report type) with tailored timing requirements, the system achieves higher reporting accuracy for each specific case while managing complexity through structured classification rather than a monolithic approach

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Suggested are a method and an apparatus for reporting beam information in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method performed by a terminal may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, downlink control information for triggering beam reporting; receiving, from the base station, a resource related to beam reporting; and reporting, to the base station, first beam information or second beam information, on the basis of the resource related to beam reporting.
