Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transport block into multiple data parts and maps them to different bandwidth parts (BWPs) within the system bandwidth. This allows the limited terminal device bandwidth capability to be effectively utilized by transmitting different segments of data through different BWPs, thereby resolving the contradiction between system bandwidth capacity and terminal device bandwidth limitation.

2Reliability

If multiple data parts of a transport block are mapped to different bandwidth parts, then frequency diversity is utilized to improve data transmission accuracy, but the mapping complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The transport block is segmented into multiple data parts that can be independently mapped to different BWPs. This segmentation enables frequency diversity gain by distributing data parts across different frequency resources, improving reliability while maintaining manageable mapping complexity through systematic segmentation rules.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the mapping parameters by introducing BWP indices and data part indices to systematically map data parts to different BWPs. This parameter-based mapping approach provides flexibility in configuring the mapping relationship while controlling the complexity through standardized parameter management.
