Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication technologies fail to account for terminals with weaker capabilities, leading to increased detection complexity and potential failure in detecting control signaling.

Innovation Solution

Determine the detection range of terminals based on their maximum channel detection capability, adjusting transmission/reception resources accordingly, and detecting control signaling within this range to reduce complexity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the detection range is increased to improve control signaling detection reliability, then the detection complexity increases for terminals with weaker capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol signaling detection reliabilityVSAvoiddetection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing the detection range according to terminal capability. Terminals report their maximum channel detection capability, and the network device determines an appropriate detection range tailored to each terminal's ability. This ensures that terminals with weaker capabilities are not burdened with excessive detection complexity while maintaining reliable control signaling detection for each terminal's specific capability level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If the detection range is optimized for terminals with weaker capabilities, then the resource allocation efficiency improves, but the detection range may be insufficient for terminals with stronger capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoiddetection range adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the detection range adaptive rather than fixed. Terminals dynamically report their maximum channel detection capability, and the network device dynamically determines the detection range based on this reported capability. This dynamic adjustment ensures optimal resource allocation for each terminal while maintaining adaptability to different terminal capabilities, resolving the contradiction between efficiency and versatility.

AI summary

A method for detecting a control signaling is performed by a terminal and includes: reporting a maximum channel detection capability supported by the terminal to a network device, wherein the maximum channel detection capability is configured to determine by the network device a resource location for transmitting the control signaling; determining a detection range of the terminal at a control signaling detecting moment, wherein the detection range is determined based on the maximum channel detection capability; determining, based on the detection range, a resource range for detecting the control signaling transmitted by the network device on the resource location; and detecting within the resource range, the control signaling transmitted by the network device on the resource location.
