Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional demodulation reference signals (A-DMRS) are dynamically added for PUSCH transmission, then channel estimation accuracy and communication reliability are improved, but device complexity and signaling overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic A-DMRS configuration where the network entity can trigger additional DMRS signals based on real-time channel conditions. The DMRS configuration includes dynamic indicators that allow flexible activation of A-DMRS in specific resource blocks, enabling the system to adapt to changing channel conditions without requiring permanent complex infrastructure. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction by providing enhanced reliability only when needed, while maintaining simpler operation under normal conditions.
2Measurement precision
If additional demodulation reference signals (A-DMRS) are transmitted for PUSCH, then channel estimation resources are enhanced, but transmission time and spectral efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the PUSCH transmission into different resource blocks, allowing A-DMRS to be selectively placed in specific segments rather than uniformly across the entire transmission. The network entity can indicate which resource blocks require A-DMRS based on channel conditions, enabling precise channel estimation in critical areas while maintaining faster transmission in stable conditions. This segmentation approach enhances measurement precision where needed without unnecessarily extending transmission time throughout the entire signal.
3Adaptability or versatility
If DMRS configuration is made more flexible to adapt to channel conditions, then adaptability is improved, but configuration complexity and signaling overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs parameter changes in the DMRS configuration, specifically using dynamic indicators that can modify the DMRS configuration parameters based on channel conditions. These parameters include adjustments to DMRS density, positioning, and activation status in different resource blocks. By changing these parameters dynamically rather than requiring complete reconfiguration, the system achieves high adaptability to channel conditions while minimizing configuration complexity and signaling overhead through incremental parameter adjustments.

AI summary
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communication by detecting at least one condition related to a channel between a network entity and a user equipment (UE); triggering the UE to transmit additional demodulation reference signal (A-DMRS) for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, relative to DMRS indicated in a current PUSCH DMRS configuration; and monitoring for a PUSCH transmission from the UE including the A-DMRS.
