Solution Overview

Problem

In communication systems, blind detection of control channels often results in false detection, leading to unnecessary operations as terminals detect downlink control information (DCI) even when it is not transmitted by the base station.

Innovation Solution

A method is proposed that involves obtaining DCI through blind detection of multiple subframes and employing a reconfirmation mechanism to validate the non-false detection results, thereby reducing false detection probability and improving accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If blind detection is performed on control channel, then downlink control information can be obtained, but false detection occurs causing unnecessary operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedownlink control information acquisition efficiencyVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing blind detection on multiple subframes before final decision-making. The terminal detects DCI in multiple subframes and uses reconfirmation mechanism to validate the detection results, thereby reducing false detection while maintaining efficient information acquisition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback through the reconfirmation mechanism that validates detection results. The terminal feeds back the detection results of multiple subframes and uses this feedback to confirm whether the detected DCI is valid, thus improving detection accuracy while maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If blind detection is performed on multiple subframes, then detection accuracy improves, but detection time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs blind detection on multiple subframes as a preliminary action to improve detection accuracy. By detecting DCI in multiple subframes beforehand and using reconfirmation mechanism, the system achieves higher accuracy while managing detection time through structured multi-subframe processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If reconfirmation mechanism is applied, then false detection probability reduces, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses feedback through the reconfirmation mechanism to improve detection reliability. The terminal validates detection results by comparing DCI across multiple subframes, providing feedback that confirms or rejects the detection, thereby reducing false detection with manageable processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies copying by detecting DCI in multiple subframes and using the copied detection results for validation. The terminal creates multiple copies of detection results from different subframes and uses these copies to confirm the validity of the detected DCI, improving reliability without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
