Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication networks, channel state information reports may not be prepared in time due to a lack of available resources, leading to latency issues in CSI reporting.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for channel state information report scheduling, where a receiver determines if resources are available for transmitting CSI reports and triggers a scheduling request for a new resource if not available, ensuring timely reporting by requesting a new resource prior to the second time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If a trigger for channel state information report occurs, then the CSI report can be transmitted, but there may not be enough time to prepare the report due to lack of available resources

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI report preparation timeVSAvoidCSI report transmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively checking resource availability and triggering scheduling requests before the CSI report deadline. The UE monitors whether sufficient time exists between the CSI trigger and the second time, and if not, initiates resource allocation requests in advance to ensure timely report transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring resource availability and timing conditions. When the UE determines that no resource is available prior to the second time, it triggers a scheduling request to the network, creating a feedback loop that adapts resource allocation based on actual timing conditions and report requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of time

If resources are allocated for CSI report transmission, then the report can be sent on time, but resource allocation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCSI report latencyVSAvoidResource allocation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The UE performs self-service by autonomously determining resource availability and triggering scheduling requests without requiring continuous network intervention. The device monitors its own resource status and timing conditions, making independent decisions about when to request additional resources for CSI report transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary resource checking and scheduling request triggering before the CSI report deadline. By proactively assessing whether sufficient time exists between trigger and second time, the system prepares resource allocation in advance, reducing last-minute complexity and ensuring timely transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
