Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 5G communication systems, the increasing number of user equipment (UE) and multi-antenna panels leads to collisions between channels or reference signals with different channel characteristic hypotheses, causing reception issues.
Innovation Solution
A method for transmitting information elements in a communication system, where a first communication node sends capability information, receives parameter information or channel characteristic hypotheses, and determines the manner of receiving the information element based on this information, improving receiving flexibility and system performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple antenna panels generate multiple beams simultaneously, then the system capacity and coverage are improved, but channel or reference signal collisions occur causing reception issues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the first communication node send capability information and receive channel characteristic hypotheses before actual signal transmission. This allows the system to pre-determine receiving parameters and manners based on the capability information and channel characteristics, preventing collisions from occurring in the first place. The receiving parameters are configured in advance according to the channel characteristic hypotheses, ensuring that when multiple antenna panels transmit simultaneously, the receiving end is already prepared with the correct reception configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the receiving parameter configuration adaptive rather than static. The receiving parameters are determined based on capability information and channel characteristic hypotheses, allowing the system to dynamically adjust reception settings according to different channel conditions and capability scenarios. This enables the system to handle varying numbers of antenna panels and beams while maintaining reliable reception.
2Quantity of substance
If the number of user equipment and antenna panels increases, then network coverage and capacity are improved, but channel characteristic hypothesis collisions increase causing reception failures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the channel characteristic hypotheses into different groups or categories based on the capability information. Instead of treating all channel hypotheses uniformly, the system segments them according to different antenna panel configurations and capability levels. This allows the receiving end to select appropriate receiving parameters for each segment, preventing collisions even when many antenna panels are active simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by adjusting receiving parameters based on the received capability information and channel characteristic hypotheses. When the number of antenna panels or UEs changes, the system modifies the receiving parameters (such as receiving beams, time resources, or frequency resources) to match the new configuration. This dynamic parameter adjustment ensures reliable reception regardless of the scale of the network.
3Measurement precision
If receiving parameters are configured for each channel characteristic hypothesis, then reception accuracy is improved, but system complexity and configuration overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a unified capability information framework that serves multiple purposes. The capability information sent by the first communication node is used both for determining receiving parameters and for managing channel characteristic hypotheses. This multi-functional approach allows the system to maintain high reception accuracy without proportionally increasing complexity, as the same information structure serves multiple configuration needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements copying by using template-based or reference-based configuration methods. Instead of creating entirely new receiving parameter sets for each channel characteristic hypothesis, the system copies and adapts existing configurations based on the capability information. This reduces configuration overhead while maintaining the precision needed for accurate reception of each hypothesis type.
