Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face inefficiencies in resource management among base stations, particularly in situations where available resource information is shared, leading to suboptimal data transmission due to interference and energy consumption issues.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for cooperative communication that predict resource levels among base stations, configure and transmit available resource information differently based on set reference levels, and implement centralized or distributed cooperative communication schemes to optimize resource use and reduce interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If base stations share available resource information uniformly, then resource allocation simplicity is maintained, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates for base stations with small data amounts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidresource information configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating resource information configuration based on base station data volumes. Base stations are classified into first base stations (small data amount) and second base stations (large data amount), with each group receiving tailored resource information configurations. This allows resource allocation to be optimized locally for each base station's specific needs rather than applying a uniform approach system-wide.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the base station population into distinct groups based on their data transmission characteristics. By dividing base stations into those with small data amounts and those with large data amounts, the system can apply different resource information strategies to each segment, improving overall resource utilization efficiency while managing complexity through structured classification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If resource information is configured differently for base stations with small data amounts, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes key parameters including base station classification criteria, resource information configuration parameters, and reference signal configuration parameters based on data volume characteristics. By dynamically adjusting these parameters according to base station workload, the system optimizes data transmission efficiency while managing complexity through parameter-based differentiation rather than structural complexity.

3Object-affected harmful factors

If all base stations use the same resource allocation strategy, then system simplicity is maintained, but interference management deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality to interference management by configuring reference signals differently for first base stations (small data amount) and second base stations (large data amount). This localized differentiation allows each base station type to use reference signal configurations optimized for their specific interference environments, improving overall interference management while maintaining manageable system complexity through consistent classification-based approaches.
