Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If slot aggregation is used to improve transmission reliability in high mobility environments, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need to manage and decode aggregated slots
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing DMRS cyclic shift values to indicate the number of aggregated slots. Instead of adding complex signaling mechanisms, the system repurposes existing DMRS parameters (cyclic shifts) to convey slot aggregation information, thereby improving reliability through slot aggregation while avoiding additional device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The transmitting device determines the number of aggregated slots based on its own transmission configuration requirements and embeds this information in the DMRS cyclic shifts. The receiving device then uses these cyclic shifts to automatically determine the aggregation level without requiring separate control signaling, making the system self-sufficient and avoiding increased complexity
2Productivity
If DMRS cyclic shifts are used to indicate slot aggregation, then spectral efficiency is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to potential ambiguity in cyclic shift interpretation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes a predetermined mapping between DMRS cyclic shift values and the number of aggregated slots before transmission begins. Both transmitting and receiving devices share this predefined mapping, allowing the receiver to accurately interpret the cyclic shift indication without ambiguity, thus maintaining measurement precision while improving spectral efficiency through compact signaling
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the interpretation of existing DMRS parameters by assigning specific cyclic shift values to represent different slot aggregation levels. This parameter reassignment allows efficient indication of aggregation information without requiring new signaling resources, improving spectral efficiency while maintaining precision through the established mapping relationship
