Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication systems face challenges in ensuring high reliability and low latency for ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) services, particularly in the transmission of downlink control information (DCI) due to varying service requirements.

Innovation Solution

The method involves dividing DCI into multiple data block groups and configuring specific transmission resources for each group, allowing for block transmission and improving reliability and accuracy by sequencing and preprocessing the data blocks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If DCI is transmitted as a single block, then the transmission process is simple, but the reliability and accuracy of information transmission cannot be ensured for URLLC services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of DCI transmissionVSAvoidcomplexity of transmission process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The DCI is divided into multiple data blocks that are transmitted separately through different transmission resources. This segmentation allows the system to improve reliability by ensuring that at least some blocks are received correctly, while the complexity is managed through systematic division and reconstruction processes at the receiver end.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If DCI is divided into multiple data block groups and transmitted through different resources, then the reliability and accuracy of information transmission are improved, but the transmission process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of information transmissionVSAvoidcomplexity of block transmission process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The DCI is divided into multiple data block groups that are transmitted through different transmission resources. This segmentation enables improved accuracy by distributing transmission risks across multiple channels, while the complexity is managed through systematic grouping and reconstruction processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The data blocks are pre-processed and organized into groups before transmission, with predetermined transmission resources allocated to each group. This preliminary organization reduces the complexity during actual transmission by establishing a structured framework in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If multiple transmission resources are allocated for DCI data blocks, then the reliability of URLLC service is enhanced, but the resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

By dividing DCI into multiple data block groups and allocating them to different transmission resources, the system enhances reliability through diversified transmission paths. The resource consumption is optimized by ensuring that not all resources need to succeed for successful decoding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the transmission parameters by using multiple transmission resources with different characteristics. This allows optimization of resource allocation based on channel conditions, improving reliability while managing resource consumption through adaptive parameter selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
