Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication technologies face challenges in efficiently transmitting data packets with large volumes without incurring excessive overheads due to headers and limited resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A communication method that involves jointly sending and receiving data in n time domain resources within a periodic resource, where the relative positions of these resources are consistent, allowing for flexible data volume design and reducing the need for separate headers, thereby improving resource utilization and transmission efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If data packets are transmitted using conventional methods with separate headers for each time domain resource, then each data segment can be independently transmitted, but header overhead increases and resource utilization decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheader overheadVSAvoidtransmission efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data segments into a single transport block that is transmitted across n time domain resources. Instead of adding separate headers to each time domain resource, a single header is added to the entire transport block. This combining approach reduces the total number of headers and eliminates redundant header information, directly reducing overhead and improving transmission efficiency for large data volumes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the transmission process by dividing the transport block into multiple code blocks that are distributed across n time domain resources. Each code block carries a portion of the data, and the segmentation allows the system to transmit large data volumes across multiple resources while maintaining a single header structure. This segmentation enables efficient resource utilization without proportionally increasing header overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If a single time domain resource is used for data transmission, then resource allocation is simple, but the data volume that can be transmitted is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoidresource allocation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the transmission from a single time domain resource to n time domain resources, adding a temporal dimension to the transmission process. By distributing the transport block across multiple time units with consistent relative positions, the system increases the total data volume that can be transmitted while maintaining manageable resource allocation through the primary node's scheduling capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Productivity

If multiple separate transmissions are used for large data volumes, then data can be transmitted across multiple resources, but resource utilization decreases due to repeated headers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission capacityVSAvoidresource utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple data segments into a single transport block that is transmitted across n time domain resources with a single header. This merging eliminates the need for separate headers on each time domain resource, reducing redundant information and improving resource utilization. The transport block is divided into code blocks that are efficiently distributed across the available resources, maximizing transmission capacity while minimizing overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
