Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems, such as LTE and 5G-NR, are limited in supporting the simultaneous reception and transmission of multiple control and data channels, leading to inefficiencies in bandwidth and throughput, particularly in next-generation networks like 5G New Radio systems.
Innovation Solution
The method involves forming groups of data transmission configurations, allocating resources and data layers, generating control information sets, and coordinating transmission settings to enable simultaneous reception and transmission of multiple control and data channels at a mobile station, while maintaining backward compatibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If current wireless communication systems (LTE and 5G-NR) are used, then device compatibility is maintained, but bandwidth and throughput are limited due to inability to support simultaneous reception and transmission of multiple control and data channels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments control information into multiple control information sets (first control information set and second control information set), each scheduled by separate control channels. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple control and data channels simultaneously by dividing the control plane into independent manageable units, thereby increasing bandwidth utilization without overwhelming the device processing capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension of control channel organization by implementing multiple control information sets that can be simultaneously received and processed. This dimensional expansion in the control plane enables parallel handling of multiple data channels, transforming the system from sequential single-channel processing to parallel multi-channel operation, thus enhancing throughput while maintaining manageable device complexity through structured organization
2Productivity
If multiple control information sets are scheduled simultaneously, then bandwidth utilization improves, but control information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Control information is segmented into distinct control information sets, each associated with specific data channels. This segmentation simplifies management by allowing independent handling of each control set, reducing the overall management complexity while enabling efficient bandwidth utilization through parallel control channel operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces control information sets as intermediary structures that mediate between the control channels and data channels. These intermediaries organize and manage the flow of control information, simplifying the complex interactions between multiple control and data channels while maximizing bandwidth utilization through structured information flow management
