Solution Overview

Problem

In subband full duplex (SBFD) systems, cross-link interference (CLI) between terminal devices is not measured quickly enough by network devices, affecting communication quality.

Innovation Solution

A terminal device reports cross-link interference measurements to a network device through flexible reporting methods like aperiodic, semi-persistent, or event-triggered reporting on physical uplink control channels, using modified control information fields to indicate CLI measurements, and receives configuration information for measurement signals and reports.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If terminal devices measure SRS and feedback results using conventional methods, then measurement can be performed, but the network device cannot obtain CLI variation quickly enough

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCLI measurement reporting speedVSAvoidTime delay in obtaining CLI variation
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic reporting mechanisms where the terminal device can switch between periodic reporting (for stable conditions) and aperiodic/event-triggered reporting (when CLI changes rapidly). The network device can dynamically configure reporting triggers based on CLI variation thresholds, enabling faster response to interference changes while maintaining efficiency during stable periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the reporting parameters from fixed periodic intervals to flexible event-triggered or aperiodic reporting. By modifying the reporting trigger conditions and intervals dynamically based on CLI variation magnitude, the system achieves faster detection of interference changes without continuous high-frequency reporting, thus reducing time delay while maintaining measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If flexible reporting methods (aperiodic, semi-persistent, event-triggered) are used, then reporting speed and flexibility improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveReporting flexibilityVSAvoidReporting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal reporting framework that can handle multiple reporting types (periodic, semi-persistent, aperiodic, event-triggered) through a unified interface and configuration mechanism. The same measurement and reporting infrastructure supports different reporting strategies, reducing the need for separate dedicated systems for each reporting mode and thereby limiting the increase in complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The network device pre-configures multiple reporting configurations with different parameters and triggers before actual CLI measurement begins. When CLI measurement is needed, the terminal device simply activates the appropriate pre-configured reporting mode based on current conditions, avoiding the need to dynamically create and manage complex reporting structures in real-time, thus reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
