Solution Overview

Problem

Current wireless communication systems face challenges in handling high-frequency data signaling, particularly at frequencies above 52.6 GHz, due to increased bandwidth and processing requirements, and the need for continuous data transmission without predefined end points, which existing systems struggle to manage efficiently.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for wireless communication networks that utilize a data signaling indication to enable continuous data transmission of unspecified duration, allowing for efficient handling of high-frequency data signaling by specifying transmission parameters such as frequency resources, modulation, and beam parameters, and allowing for independent processing of code blocks, ensuring reliable and continuous data reception.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data signaling of unspecified duration is used, then continuous data transmission efficiency is improved, but control signaling overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission efficiencyVSAvoidcontrol signaling overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the duration information from the data signaling indication by using a predefined set of values, allowing the receiver to determine the transmission duration based on the indicated value rather than requiring explicit duration signaling for each data transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter representation by mapping duration values to predefined sets, where the indication value directly corresponds to a specific duration from a predetermined collection, enabling efficient continuous transmission while managing control overhead through standardized parameter mapping

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If higher frequencies are used, then bandwidth and data rate are improved, but processing speed and latency requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata rateVSAvoidprocessing speed requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data transmission into code blocks with independent processing capabilities, allowing the receiver to process and handle data in manageable units rather than dealing with continuous high-speed streams, thereby reducing processing speed requirements while maintaining high data rates through efficient block-based transmission

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by configuring the receiver with expected duration information before data transmission begins, allowing the receiver to prepare processing parameters and timing expectations in advance, which reduces real-time processing latency and speed requirements during actual data reception

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If beamforming with small beams is used, then signal focus and interference reduction are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal focusVSAvoidbeamforming complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the beamforming system multi-functional by enabling the same beamforming infrastructure to handle both data transmission and duration indication through a unified signaling mechanism, where the beamforming parameters and signaling are integrated rather than requiring separate dedicated systems, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining signal focus

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
